1:29:01
have banned sugary soft drinks
in schools,
1:29:03
and all-natural, healthy options
are popping up everywhere.
1:29:07
McDonaldÂ’s joined right in,
sponsoring events
1:29:09
that showed how health-conscious
they'd become
1:29:11
and creating a new line
of premium salads.
1:29:13
At the same time, however,
they also masterminded
1:29:16
one of their fattest
sandwiches to date --
1:29:19
the McGriddle,
a pancake-wrapped creation
1:29:21
that won my heart in Texas
1:29:23
but can pack as much fat
as a Big Mac
1:29:25
and have more sugar than a pack
of McDonaldland cookies.
1:29:28
in fact, their new premium ranch
chicken salad with dressing
1:29:30
delivers more calories
than a Big Mac
1:29:32
and 51 grams of fat --
1:29:34
79% of your daily fat intake.
1:29:36
Over the course of my McDiet,
1:29:39
I consumed 30 pounds of sugar
from their food.
1:29:42
That's a pound a day.
1:29:43
On top of that,
I also took in 12 pounds of fat.
1:29:47
Now, I know what you're saying.
1:29:48
You're saying "nobody's
supposed to eat this food
1:29:51
"three times a day.
1:29:52
No wonder all this stuff
happened to you."
1:29:55
But the scary part is,
1:29:56
there are people
who eat this food regularly.
1:29:59
Some people
even eat it every day.
1:30:01
So while my experiment
may have been a little extreme,
1:30:04
it's not that crazy.
1:30:06
But here is a crazy idea --
1:30:08
why not do away
with your super size options?
1:30:11
Who needs 42 ounces of coke,
a half-pound of fries?
1:30:14
and why not give me a choice
1:30:16
besides French fries
or French fries?
1:30:19
that would be a great start.
1:30:20
But why should these companies
want to change?
1:30:23
Their loyalty isn't to you.
It's to the stockholders.
1:30:25
The bottom line --
they're a business,
1:30:28
no matter what they say.
1:30:29
And by selling you unhealthy
food, they make millions,
1:30:33
and no company
wants to stop doing that.
1:30:36
If this ever-growing paradigm
is going to shift,
1:30:38
it's up to you.
1:30:39
But if you decide to keep
living this way, go ahead.
1:30:43
Over time, you may find yourself
getting as sick as I did,
1:30:46
and you may wind up here...
1:30:47
or here.
1:30:48
I guess the big question is --
1:30:50
who do you want to see go first,
you or them?
