1:28:01
and balanced with,
overall, a healthy diet

1:28:04
and, overall, a lot of exercise.
1:28:06
And there's no reason whatsoever
1:28:07
why fast food
has to be so disgusting.

1:28:10
Fast food can be nutritious.
1:28:12
It's a cheap form of food,
1:28:13
and it does keep you
full for a while,

1:28:15
so you get your money's worth.
1:28:17
But unfortunately, you cause
some major harm to your heart,

1:28:20
your liver, your blood.
1:28:21
I wouldn't suggest
you continue the diet

1:28:24
for a year to check this out.
1:28:24
I don't think
it's appropriate or healthy,

1:28:27
especially with
what showed up with your liver.

1:28:29
So I shouldn't eat
this food for a year?

1:28:31
No, I don't think so.
1:28:33
We see people
who go on an alcohol binge,

1:28:36
and their numbers
go up like crazy,

1:28:38
but to go on a Mac attack...
1:28:41
and they've got numbers to show
that it attacks your liver, too.

1:28:45
Honestly, I wouldn't have
even thought about this.

1:28:48
But it makes sense.
1:28:50
Now that we have the data,
it definitely makes sense.

1:28:53
Still, the impact
of this initial lawsuit

1:28:56
is being seen far and wide.
1:28:58
School districts in new York,
Texas, and San Francisco

1:29:01
have banned sugary soft drinks
in schools,

1:29:03
and all-natural, healthy options
are popping up everywhere.

1:29:07
McDonaldÂ’s joined right in,
sponsoring events

1:29:09
that showed how health-conscious
they'd become

1:29:11
and creating a new line
of premium salads.

1:29:13
At the same time, however,
they also masterminded

1:29:16
one of their fattest
sandwiches to date --

1:29:19
the McGriddle,
a pancake-wrapped creation

1:29:21
that won my heart in Texas
1:29:23
but can pack as much fat
as a Big Mac

1:29:25
and have more sugar than a pack
of McDonaldland cookies.

1:29:28
in fact, their new premium ranch
chicken salad with dressing

1:29:30
delivers more calories
than a Big Mac

1:29:32
and 51 grams of fat --
1:29:34
79% of your daily fat intake.
1:29:36
Over the course of my McDiet,
1:29:39
I consumed 30 pounds of sugar
from their food.

1:29:42
That's a pound a day.
1:29:43
On top of that,
I also took in 12 pounds of fat.

1:29:47
Now, I know what you're saying.
1:29:48
You're saying "nobody's
supposed to eat this food

1:29:51
"three times a day.
1:29:52
No wonder all this stuff
happened to you."

1:29:55
But the scary part is,
1:29:56
there are people
who eat this food regularly.

1:29:59
Some people
even eat it every day.
