We've had a Netflix copy of Super Size Me sitting around for almost a week while I watched Samurai Champloo and California Split. We're finally getting to it tonight. As Morgan Spurlock ran down the menu he was eating over the first week, I got onto the Weight Watchers website to see how many points he was eating. Until I get back below 160 pounds、I get 22 points a day; that translates to about 1300 calories. Because WW has a pretty draconian set of lawyers protecting their point system, I probably shouldn't say more than that except that the McDogfood's "Big Breakfast" weighs in at 29 points.

As gawd is my witness, I will never go for the McGriddle again.
