I saw Super Size Me a few nights ago…and unfortunately, I’m really not going to want to eat fast food ever again…at least for a week. I haven’t laughed so hard in such a long time as I did throughout this movie…it was great. I remember one night this past spring when I was sitting in McDonalds in Twin Falls and I called Josh and complained that I was eating the 2 Cheeseburger meal. I think those involved in youth ministry are especially susceptible to the dangers of eating and eating and eating more fast food. I took a lot of kids out to lunch…out for meals…where else do you stop when you’re on the road with a caravan of vehicles on youth group trips…? Especially as a single youth guy, who was rarely at home around meal times, what else is there to do? Pack a lunch every day? Now that gets old pretty quick – I tried it. Anyway, make sure to find out if this is playing near you, or be ready to rent it as soon as you can when it comes out if you haven’t seen it…very good stuff.
Makes me wonder if I can make it across the US on my journey out to Princeton without eating any fast food. I wouldn’t even think twice about it normally – stop off, get gas, grab some Jack in the Box, or whatever. But to make a real effort not to eat any fast food for that 4 day trip, in the car all day…maybe I should try it…
