My point is that anything in excess is bad. And any restaurant tends to be less healthy than eating at home. They usually cook with a lot of greese, butter and oils. If I get breakfast at a diner, it's certainly not the same eggs, toast and hashbrowns I'd have in my dining room. McDonalds is just being singled out because of their market share.

I read "Fast Food Nation" from cover to cover and when I was done, I just said "So what?" But then, I'm a vegetarian, so I guess I was already grossed out. In a similar way, I was at dinner last night with a group of people and I couldn't understand how they were so grossed out by the idea of eating rattlesnake (the topic had come up) as they sat there eating their quale, cow, lamb and fish. To me, it's all the same. But I still think they should be allowed to eat what they want.

If anything, this film is just A) a funny way of not so gently reminding people that too much of anything is bad and B) a way to preach to the anti-corporation crowd.
