Default Not to sound like a Fat Hungry Slob, but does anyone know why...

Mcdonald's stop selling SUPERSIZE? No of the workers don't know the answer.

Because of junk lawsuits. People who sue because they eat it all and then complain when they gain weight. That's the reason they said.

Well some say it's due to the "Super Size Me" docufilm thingy that was released a while ago, but McDonalds denies it.

PR Move to "help" in the fight to curb obesity. It's stupid. People can just order two large fries.

Well, this is older news than I thought.

As for the fat people suing, I commend them. McDonalds (among other obvious fast food places) need to either reform, or get shut down. NONE of them serve anything remotely healthy. I don't care if they're convenient, take 10 minutes to make your own lunch before you go to school/work. It's far cheaper, and obviously healthier. They are contributing to America's growing epidemic of fat assery.

I agree! Maybe if people would take a few seconds and read how much fat is actually in most of that fast food they would re-consider and eat more healthfully!

The people sueing, though, all they eat is McDonalds

Actually the fast food restraunts are seriving those healthy choices, right?

McDonalds claims that their food is healthy enough to eat 3 times a day.

After you watch "Supersize me" you might not want to eat at McDonald's again....or it'll just make you hungry.

What was their slogan..."serving a million smiles every day"? They need to change 'smiles' to 'calories'. I heard they also hired Heidi Klum as a spokes person. What a joke.
