I highly doubt it. So that means it is NOT common knowledge to know these things. Yeah, most people can see the fucking grease dripping off of a sandwich and realize it’s not the best thing to be eating. But knowing exactly what it is doing to your body is a little more involved than just seeing that. > > Even the doctors, before he started the diet, didn’t think it would be so life threatening. They were BLOWN away. So are you saying that physicians aren’t intelligent because they were so suprised? > > Wtf is it with engineers thinking they are the smartest shits out there? :roll: Whatever dude. I’m not the smartest shit out there nor do I claim to be. I’m just saying that it seems obvious to me that eating nothing but fast food for a month and not exercising would fuck you up pretty bad. I mean, my grandma could have told you that. She always told me that. “Don’t eat so much junk food. Go play outside.” Words of wisdom… More detailed things like learning that frying starch-based foods creates acrylamides (cancer causing chemical) is not common sense. And your right. I have no idea what a kal-O-ree is. Must be some sort of preservative or something… --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/super-size-me/16182)._
