So MCD handedly beat eps estimates this morning. Seriously, I don’t know who is buying their shit. I wouldn’t be surprised to learn MCD is storing billions of Big Macs in some nefarious warehouses in Chinatown. And don’t give me the line that it’s cheaper to eat at MCD than to make food at home. Do you know how they make their chicken Mcnuggets? Whole chickens get transformed into paste. It’s a science fiction nightmare and their food is killing people, literally.
So what do I eat, you query?
Well, let’s go through a typical day.
I wake up and drink a little Earl Grey tea, with honey and 2% milk. Yes, of course, the milk is organic and without anti-biotics. My typical breakfast is either egg whites with toast or simply a crumpet with a little olive oil and pepper. I never use butter.
During lunch I like to eat sandwiches, usually turkey (fresh) or some hummus and grilled chicken on a pita, lettuce tomato and gold. That’s right, I fucking eat gold.
For dinner, I eat whole wheat pasta or some variety of chicken, never fried in grease, typically grilled or roasted. I eat red meat about once per month and maintain my protein via beans, fish, chicken and supplements. I do not add sugar to anything and avoid it best I can; but I’m not fanatical about it. Simply put, I prefer the taste of water over any beverage and find myself drinking it all day long, as a result.
There is never a reason to eat like a filthy animal, no matter how poor you are. If you give a fuck about what you put into your body, you can easily eat healthy– inexpensively.
As for stocks, I expect a minor sell off, only to be backstopped by that deranged fucker, Ben Bernanke. As bad as this tape looks pre-market, you just know it’s gonna bounce hard–graping the bears into late day submission.

2 Cheeseburgers meal can’t be beat. Make mine mayo and ketchup only.
It’s vermin.
Vermin was good enough for the great founders of this country, no?
The great founders were fucking idiots, just like the idiots in Congress today. Just because they started the country and are dead doesn’t make them saints.
Their careful forethought created the greatest country in the history of the world. One where immigrants literally are killing themselves to get to.
They did all this employing an ethic that eschewed centralized power and emphasized individual rights and freedom — unheard of in governmental structures at that time.
I’d say they were pretty fucking close to saints, in that analysis.
(And NOTHING like today’s whores in Congress)

According to Wood, they ate vermin.
QEF.
Dunkin Donuts for breakfast, burger King for lunch, Chipolte for dinner. Sometimes If i’m celebrating something I swap BK for MCD.
I will live forever.
Don’t know if you have a Five Guys and Fries nearby, but they are phenomenal. A couple just popped up in my area this past year.
You can add as many toppings as you want and they grill the burger (fresh) right in front of your fat face. An order of fries consists of an over-sized brown paper bag and roughly two pounds of salty deliciousness.
And they’ve got peanuts to snack on while you wait for your order. Just as reasonable as MCD to boot.
Five Guys is a death trap.
A suicide rap.
_________
Haha, maybe but it feels healthier than Mcgrunts.
Exercise is far more important than what you eat, in my opinion. Everything in moderation, and everything includes Five Guys.
Five Guys is a slop trough. If a gentleman must have a hamburger, he would do well to visit In-N-Out.
Let people eat whatever they want but fat slobs who eat shit food should pay more for their health insurance.
Healthy Vegans die every day.
Everyone dies. However, some people die 400 lbs, living out their final days immobile, others slim and able to walk to the grocery store.
And some go quietly with a burst arterial embolism soon after vigourously tossing a crystal paper weight at a trader servant.

Nice
Some people have a fast metabolism, eat that stuff everyday and never gain a lb.
There is never a reason to eat like a filthy animal, no matter how poor you are. If you give a fuck about what you put into your body, you can easily eat healthy– inexpensively.
Oy vey. I guess we should all at least be glad you didn’t just give up smoking too.
I only wish we had video of the day your doctor and Mrs. Fly had to tie you down to a gurney to administer the first day of your new diet.

You live in Kentucky and have absorbed quite a bit of ignorance since dwelling down there.
Wait … you smoke?
Evan — that was a mistaken inference.
If Fly smoked be’d be blogging from the other side right now.

Where do you get your Omega 3s??
I don’t like Omega 3. It’s tainted.
try getting fish oils derived from anchovies. also check out consumerlab.com at $29.95 per year you can’t go wrong.

salmon, only wild-caught, and supplements good sir.
watch out for you salmon, next year might get contaminated with radioactive particles…Pacific, Japan, Fukushima…everything good says Sam…listens to him, not me..funny but the only salmon that I would touch tehse days is old (canned) or norvegian (can find that one in Ikea, seriously).
Good luck with your California berries, salad and milk too…Oregon used to be great, not anymore for me, Washington apples and cherries, watch them out…
pillar rock sockeye salmon, thee best.
@ FLY ..you should drink ALMOND milk instead..milk is not good for the HUMAN body, organic or not..been linked to a lot of sickness
I do drink almond milk with cereal. However, you can’t mix it in hot tea.
good to hear!
Seriously. So many cancers are linked to animal proteins. Almond milk is the best, followed by coconut and soy. Drink one of the alternatives, not cow’s milk.
I try and make breakfast my largest meal as to give myself sustenance throughout the day and to give my body ample time to digest everything. I prefer dinner to be my smallest, lightest meal and many hours before I retire so that when I’m sleeping my body can focus on sleep rather than on digestion.
As long as I live in this country I can’t support eating any form of meat on a regular basis. Watch “Food Inc” or read “The Omnivores Dilemma”, animal food is far too corrupt and disgusting in this country
Drink one of the alternatives, not cow’s milk
like mother’s milk?
Yes, only the finest breast milk for me.
Where does one fine the nipples on an almond?
_________
the closest thing to mammys milk…..goats milk. thought a goat fucker like you would know
I love it when people disparage healthy eating. It’s like the people who proudly dismiss college as being for academics.
Ignorance is not an attribute.
Ignorance is not the issue. Hypocrisy is the issue.
_______
It is ignorant to blatantly dismiss the very basics of nutrition. This is the reason why America is the fattest country in the world.
The US has cheap, abundant food. Humans crave fat and sugars as we are not far removed from survival mode in the forest. Many people cannot curb their appetites when allowed access to such abundance.
True, freedom and wealth lead to obesity in the early stages.
As people learn that such extravagences ends in early death — like our proprietor has learned — they change their ways.
It certainly doesn’t do anyone any good to get all Billy Sunday about it, however.

last year had a meeting with Dow Chemical and found out that they operate in the food bussiness. They modify starches and then those are ingredients (rheology modifier) used by different entities in the food sector. It was given the example of MickyD. Then few weeks later a report pops up on the CNN about the great MCD burger that after being exposed to environmental consitions (sun, air, heat, etc). stays(looks) fresh for weeks/months. Amazing, but the reason is that these modified starches (un-natutal polymers) lose their normal biodegradability profile and as a result the great aspect that their burgers have with time. Maybe MCD has very low waste too, since their food is always fresh so if they do not sell it today, there is an idiot tomorrow. There is a lot of fat, salt and other ingredients in there (everybody knows that) so if you would see that mixture on a plate you will vomit for a day. Wonder why there is not a show, How is made – regrading MickyD’s products or anybody else in this fast food bussiness…
So, Fly you are the best, once again – people he is right!
Nonsense. Their beef is frozen until cooked. It only stays out there for an hour or two. The extra salt is on the fries. There is fat in the hamburger. Regular hamburger is 20% fat anyway. Their lettuce and tomato is like any other. “Organic” food just costs more.
Dietary snobbery is like any other form of snobbery. Excessive eating is like any other excess that cannot be contained.
hear-hear.
___
He wasn’t referring to frozen beef, but beef that was left out for months and did not decay.
Read what you said, in or out of context:
Their beef is frozen until cooked. (The patty is delivered to the store frozen but is blended in a plant, not on site. In the belending process, they add the fat that you mention and all the seasoning, like salt, maybe you do not see anything if you watch the guy cooking it in front of you but that is already there). It only stays out there for an hour or two. (look on youtune/cnn for the wonder hamburger that never gets mold)The extra salt is on the fries (check salt content in a MCD burger and any other processed food). There is fat in the hamburger. Regular hamburger is 20% fat anyway. – Sure 20% in a normal burger gets you flavor, but if is 40% you get double flavor? You get coronary disease, my friend. Again somebody said moderation but even when eating shit moderation should be capitalized.

16g of sugars (high fructose corn?)
2g of salt in a lenn than 300g item.
Try to imagine on your plate 2g of salt (a tablespoon) and 16 of fat on top of that and now imagine swallowing that…
what comes to your mind?
Bon appetite!
Fly ROCKS! or Rocks Fly?
Beans and rice. like the poor people.
Fly, do you still kick start with Emergen-C mix? I’m hooked on the stuff.
I drink it daily.
Fly,
When you got fired was that what motivated you the most? Was your old boss jealous of your talents?
I was a slacker and it kicked me in the ass.
Well, actually, I was fired for taking 3 days off to attend my grandfather’s funeral and that motivated me to get him. But, generally speaking, I needed to step up my game.
Good stuff Fly, but grains are shit. Time to go Paleo.
“If you give a fuck about what you put into your body, you can easily eat healthy– inexpensively.”
Yeah, if you just go and eat raw vegetables. Practically speaking, fast food is the best option for poor people. It’s fun to knock down MCD (and it’s always just MCD for some reason)…but no one ever talks about how going and having dinner at a “classy” restaurant is unhealthy. People talk up and down about how Big Macs are destroying the world, then go out and have a huge $75 steak. If your favorite quaint mom & pop restaurant was forced to print their nutritional values as fast food places are, things would be put in perspective. Again, complete overreaction to fast food. Obese people don’t get that way because MCD exists, they get that way mostly because they consume more calories than they burn, which could conceivably be just as feasible to accomplish by eating every meal at Le Bernardin.
yikes – you eat animal products 3 meals a day = not good.
we have “meat” sundays. finest slab i can find and devour it like the carnivore i am, then sensible vegetarian meals all week (lots of beans, lentils, etc)
feel great, too bad my portfolio doesnt.
My diet is not perfect. But it’s better than most.
I think your comment about drinking water is the most underrated of the whole post. I swear by a minimum of 60 oz./day.
You have a DMND in the rough!
A person could eat mulch and drink water from a 1000 year old iceberg and will still die when the DNA code says so.
Partly true. But DNA is not the whole story. Lifestyle is equally important.
Re: Lifestyle importance.
Didn’t help Jim Fixx much.
_______
That is a juvenile article. Are you trying to suggest, through your favorite website, that working out is bad for you or that making changes to poor dietary habits has no benefits?
For every Mr. Fixx there are 20 other stories to the contrary.
I am trying to show you that genetics rules.
Your other flutterings against nature will have some benefit.
Fixx’s other relatives died in their late thirties, early forties, for example, while he lived another five years longer than that.
It’s in the code, not the pie a la mode.
_______
Yes, it’s true, humans are subject to mortality and perish. That does not mean you should smoke a pack of cigarettes daily and expedite matters.
Agreud. Although there are those who do so and live to 110.
Thanks to their DNA.

I eat like a pig and can’t put on weight unless I lift weights and force feed. Yet, Doc gave me an “A+” on my cholesterol.
If I ate “healthy”, I would look like an Ethiopian. I’m guessing I won’t be so lucky once I’m old and wrinkly like you guys…
You would agree, I hope, that you are in the minority.
Absolutely. Just giving an example to support Colonel’s DNA remark.
You can control your health to some degree. But, some people are born with gravy in their veins.

That said, this one — recommended by my Dad’s gastro-entrological surgeon (one of the best in NYC) — is right up Fly’s alley.
The “Pugliese Diet” — “eat bushes, bushes, fish and olive oil… oh yeah, and red wine, at least a glass a day.”
Apparently, those Eyetalians liver forevah, ovah theah.

Chicken? WTF
Talk about growth hormone and antibotics.
A life in a fucking 12 inch cage where all the chickens above shit and piss on you all day.
Organic.
the 99% buys MCD ppisen products
Nice call Master Fly.
Sugar is an addictive poison.
I have great respect for those with strong convictions and the passion to promote them. But when evangelizing a way of life morphs into patronizing the poor fucks who are caught in the moment, my brain exits. The egress opens to reality.
So then exit and say nothing more.
I am on a biggest loser-ish type diet…er lifestyle. This grants me no more than 1500 calories and anywhere from 80-100g of protein a day. Working out 6 days a week, and plenty of water as well. So I can appreciate your post.
Good for you. Ignore the cavemen here who proudly eat Big Macs for breakfast.
I think most of those cave men are just after your goat.
A good source of protein in themselves, I might add.
_______
I start the day with a big cup of Pu-ehr (http://pu-erh.net/) and a walk on the beach to check out the surf. IMO just don’t eat too much and what you do eat should be the best you can afford.
Good policy.
_____
I find that life is a balance. Everything in moderation especially eating. I like eating healthy but a MCD mushroom and swiss angus makes me happy sometimes. Stress kills a person more than anything else.
Wow, nice thread!
I eat bacon cheeseburgers at least 4 to 5 times a week – and not the MCD bullshit burgers… I only eat the high quality 8 ounce kind.
And I FEEL GREAT!

There’s nothing healthy about whole wheat pasta. The “whole wheat” trend in foods is a total farce…stay away from wheat in general (the book Wheat Belly: Wheat Belly: Lose the Wheat, Lose the Weight, and Find Your Path Back to Health” really exposes this myth).
Aside from that, your diet looks to be quite healthy.
Oh stop it.
I’ve always been told wheat helps you gain weight, honestly.
Do you eat nuts from DMND?
“That’s right, I fucking eat gold.”
Classic!
