So there is this big controversy over McDonalds using Olympic athletes to endorse and promote their food. A group of WA athletes and health groups have started their own advertisements that are saying that McDonalds is not part of Olympic success.

Well... while I was looking after the little kids up the road the other night and I got reading this book - 'The Sensational Samburger', it's all about these kids make a plan to make whoever is stealing their hamburgers, not want to do it again. They create the 'world's worst meal, and leave it for the thief to steal!'

It's a super book and it made me think that if only the athletes that were 'endorsing' McDonalds and their products knew just what might go into their burgers, they probably wouldn't be saying just how great it was to 'reward themsleves with a Big Mac, fries and a thickshake' after a race.

'I'm glad I'm not that burger thief,'
Samantha Grinned... 'coz here's the beef.'
'Cat food! Yuk! Well... just a slice.
'And maybe mustard would be nice'

And, like Miss Muffet, there beside her
Sis had seen a great big spider.

I've some pics of the book for you to see, and some of them bear quite a resemblence with that of the last double big mac I ate walking home from a big night out on the weekend. Oh,that wasn't an endorsement for a double big mac by the way - I was just stating what I had to eat!

Seeing an Athlete eat a cheeseburger is not going to make me want to put that stinking "McFood" in my gob.

We all know WHY they are endorsing McD - money. Let them earn a few bucks by saying a cheeseburger is great - who cares.

Haha that book sounds Awesome Jenn :)

Oh yeah .. like Uncle Toby's is much better than McD's ... you have to give McD's credit for what they are doing though ..

Healthier meals, Heart Foundation Tick (put aside the controversy), Ronald McDonald Foundation etc ..

In the end, the reason McD's are willing to pay the OLYMPICS (not the atheletes FYI) is because people are lemming enough to fall for the advertising.

If I wanna be like the atheletes, I just have to eat McD's ...

If that's your thinking, I'm going to suggest putting up the following ad in the local paper:

Lost: My only brain-cell ... last used NEVER.

:-P

Maccas is nothing - check out what Phelps eats on a day to day basis.
BREAKFAST: three fried-egg sandwiches loaded with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, fried onions and mayonnaise, two cups of coffee, a five-egg omelet, a bowl of grits, three slices of French toast topped with powdered sugar and three chocolate-chip pancakes.

LUNCH: A pound of enriched pasta and two large ham-and-cheese sandwiches slathered with mayo on white bread - capping off the meal by chugging about 1000 calories of energy drinks.

DINNER: He loads up on the carbs - what he needs to give him plenty of energy for his five-hours-a-day, six-days-a-week regimen - with half a kilo of pasta and an entire pizza.

He washes all that down with another 1000 calories of energy drinks.



So by his standards, most Americans eat the 'champions meal' daily too. HA! Exceot they are they ones that have to be lifted out of the couch with a crane at the age of 12, because they don't do exercize.
