This one’s about food, for a change
March 27th, 2005
This is how nasty I am: I just turned on Super Size Me on Showtime On Demand, simply because doing so gives me the option of looking at McDonald’s food. Since I’ve seen it before and I have an important entry to write, I’m not even technically watching it. It’s just on, in case I feel the need to glance up and look at fries.
This movie had the opposite effect on me as it did on most. I still don’t think McDonald’s is gross. The people who let themselvees become really fat are gross, totally. But not that amazing food. The gooey pies that are so tiny they look like doll food, like an American Girls accessory. Deliciously ambiguous chicken nuggets that forever dwell in possibility. The first bite of a Big Mac, when even the bun is greasy and after you chew, you wonder if it’s weird that something just crunched in your mouth. Don’t worry! It was probably the pickle, and if not, it’s just a harmless “burger knot” that you can politely spit out and lay to rest on the yellow, non-biodegradable wrapper.
What?
