supersize me

Today I watched "Supersize Me". It's revolting. On day three he literally pukes up his supersized meal. I'm not joking.
I wonder, upon reflection, whether a fatty diet is this generation's gin. Years ago, society was plagued by rampant alcoholism. While alcoholism is still a problem, it's not at the point where it's common to find unconscious people in your doorstep in the morning (as it was 100 years ago). We overcame that, I imagine we'll pull through this as well.
