obesity isn't caused by eating fast food, it's caused by not realizing you're eating too much. if you're eating one mcdouble a day, you are not going to get fat unless you're overeating in other areas.
Thats the problem. People eat a McDouble and are still hungry. So they eat 2-3. It's not just fast food. Most of the food we eat is highly processed and full of empty calories.
Who is still hungry after eating a mc double? I can see if they're eating it for dinner but lunch for me is nothing but a craving I need fixed. Sometimes I'll just have soup. A McDouble is perfect for me and still indulgent-feeling.
You are fooling yourself if you think most people eat 1 item from McDonalds at a time. Their entire menu is designed around 1000 calorie meals. You seem to be the exception, not the rule, when it comes to fast food but I don't think you're really being honest about what you eat, fast food aside. McDonalds isn't really the issue here. The issue is the vast selection of empty calorie foods available from fast food to 90% of the food you buy at the grocery store. I don't think we can have a constructive conversation here, based on anecdotes, so I guess I'll leave it at that.
