Super-size me, Jesus, through the drive-thru lane of life

Just proves that it's all the same old, same old.

What a crappy article. They could at least have put forth the effort to show comparative pictures to prove their point rather than just drawing their own conclusions.

It's quite a stretch, really. I mean, who's to say the changes in the meal sizes aren't because of artists' bad eyesight and they painted the plates larger so they can be seen from 15 feet away?

Yeah, it's why I'd like to see the paintings they drew these conclusions from.

Otherwise it's more like "These aren't the droids you're looking for--" kind of reporting.

You mean there's other kinds of reporting available nowadays?

You got me there. I guess I still expect unbiased presentation of facts and conclusions brought on not only by evidence but that evidence reported as well so that anyone who reads it has the chance to come to those conclusions as well. Show me two paintings of the same size and with the same approximate use and intentions, and then show me how different those food portions are and I'll go "gee, they really did supersize that." Without that, I'm stuck either taking their word for it or having questions with no answers.

if you hung around with the nazarene, it would be hard to stay fit, what with all the fishes and the loaves and the free wine.

See, we need experts to tell us important things we could never figure out by ourselves, like the fact that folks eat more now than they did in the past. I for one am grateful for their insight.

It's all George Bush's fault. Damn him for making the Apostles overeat.

Daddy or son, Celina?

Your thread title sounds like it could be the title of a Carrie Underwood or Toby Keith song.

Our best friends are Messianic Jews (with a great sense of humor) and every Passover they lay out a HUGE spread of food for the Seder.

The first time my buddy saw the Last Supper painting he only had two comments. The first: "looks like the artist said 'everyone who wants to be in the picture with Jesus, get on that side of the table!'" The second: "Being a rabbi, Jesus should know how to set up a Seder table. So where's the matzo ball soup, the baked egg, and the shankbone?"

I want to know who funded this study.

You did Rob...we, and the people you're feeding in Hoboken thank you

Figures. I should at least get a thank you card, or something. A plaque would be nice...

Oh get over yourself, it's your patriotic duty!!

How 'bout a coupon for a Fresca?
