Is Any Irish Cuisine Truly Good For You?

I have my doubts, but I admire this effort to rehabitate America's most famous Irish restaurant nonetheless:

NRO: Let's be honest. McDonald's isn't exactly health food. Why are you bucking them up?

Whaley: If by "health food" you are referring to seaweed and new-age-type food products that taste like cardboard but claim to have great health benefits, no, McDonald's isn't what is considered to be a "politically correct" source of food in our current cultural climate. However, when I was growing up during the 50s and 60s we didn't have all the tens of thousands of food choices available today. Back then a hamburger or a chicken sandwich was considered a legitimate way to acquire a serving of high-grade protein and grains, add a tomato and some lettuce, maybe a little onion, pour an 8 oz. glass of milk and you have what would be considered a pretty healthy meal, provided you use proper serving sizes. So from my point of view McDonald's serves food that is no better or even different than that which I could acquire at the local store or pretty much any other restaurant

To be honest this film is not about bucking up McDonald's, just a close look at what happens when a person engages in a lifestye which includes common sense and personal responsibility. I understand that these concepts are very scary to those individuals and corporations who rely on our fear and lack of education to make a buck. It's time to take a stand against these food cops and health nannies who won't be happy until we are eating only food approved by a small group of people who claim to have our best interests at heart but whose real agenda seems to be more about scaring people than in truly educating the public. Spurlock is merely an agent of those who would seek to control our lives and limit our choices "for our own good".

Erin go Biggie Size. Sinn Filet o' Fish.
