Id like to compare someone who eats the same amount of Mc Donalds everyday in calories with someone who only eats vegetables. Do you think these two people will be the same health wise? |

Uhh, you would have to eat a ton of vegetables to get the same calories as even one McDonald's meal, so that is not a realistic comparison. I'm not saying McD's is great for you, I'm just saying that eating it in moderation will not make you gain weight. There isn't some magical weight-gain ingredient in fast food that makes people fat, it's the fact that they eat way too much. Which the restaurants make all too easy by including a huge amount of food in a "meal."
Of course, eating McD's all the time might have other negative health effects, even if you don't eat a lot of it. But I've never denied that possibility. |

You can say it all you want, but nutritional science doesn't agree with you. |

I will say it again, CAUSALITY != CAUSATION. What that means is that, just because there is the APPEARANCE of a link, that does not mean there actually IS a link.

It may be *bad* without making gain you weight. High fructose consumption increases triglycerides, for example. But that does not mean it's special with regard to weight gain.
Anyone who is still holding on to the notion that your body treats a fast food or high fat meal in some fundamentally different way that makes you gain more weight even if you eat the same amount of calories, please read through this summary of a study that puts that idea to rest:

That is no excuse. I am, technically speaking, a high school drop out. So, what is your point? |
