annuinI love his reviews, the vast majority of them always have me in stitches at some point (with his LXG review likening the huge Nautilus cruising down Venice's tiny canals as believable as a gondola chase on the White House lawn being one of my all time faves).
His review of Super Size Me, the documentary in which the docu maker ate McDonalds 3 times a day for a month, and which reportedly is responsible for McD's getting rid of their Super Size policy, is hilarious.

Of course it is possible to eat responsibly at McDonald's, as spokesmen for the chain never tire of reminding us. Fast food is simply one element of a balanced nutritional plan. Of course it's the unbalanced element, unless you order the fish filet sandwich with no mayonnaise and one of those little salads with the lo-cal dressing; then you'll be fine, except for the refined white flour in the bun and the high intake of sodium. Eating responsibly at McDonald's is like going to a strip club for the iced tea.
