    Of course it's been fucking tested! Just not in a laboratory on rats, on people for thousands of years.

    Western medicine approaches medicine from an allopathic method of treatment, whereas eastern generally is more holistic. Eastern medicine gets to root of the illness, western medicine simply alleviates the symptoms of the illness, and more often than not it comes back.

    Eastern medicine cannot cure a lot of western ailments because we are so unhealthy in the first instance.

    Go ahead and poison yourself to death on McDonalds hamburgers then, make sure you've got some good insurance for when you need a triple heart bypass.

    Do you mean it has been tested on humans for thousands of years?
    If so, that is true, still, plenty of the eastern medicine is hearsay and should be tested fairly, rather than hearsay.

    We need e.gs to be honest.
    I'm not dismissing all eastern medicine just vast swathes of it :rolleyes:

    I think we are pretty much the same ;)

    Eaten responsibly i.e not often McDs is not bad for your health.
    No more so than high priced cuisine or puddings your momma makes.

    Nonsense. McDs are full of trans fats, which when eaten stick to the insides of your arteries and are very difficult to remove, so the effect of eating a McD once a week is accumulative.

    I'd go for high priced cuisine anyday, if I could afford it.

    Or a decent curry cooked with healthy fats.

    e.gs?

    Administering eastern medicine is often does through wisdom, and dosages are estimated and varied according to how the patient reacts. Text books are often more of a hindrance than a help.

    I lived on your Island for a year and I had constant feelings that I was in a fascist bureaucracy run by prissy private school boys who want to wipe fun and freedom off the face of the earth forever. Here's hoping that Scotland can break away and form their own country. No offense England, I have much sympathy for you.

    You may want to go and check out McDs nutrional values and ingriedients.
    Not from 1984 but 2008.

    It is still bad for you if you eat it all the time.
    When was the last time they let you know what they put in their food?

    Don't need to ask, I know which curry houses to go and I trust them.

    They are all usually pretty open to questions about the food, and if they are not I don't eat there anymore.

    So McDs have stopped using hydrogenated fats then have they? Well, fair play.

    If you take a look at a lot of the refrigerated food stuf you get in supermarkets these days you might also be surprised at how much they have turned round in the last few years. No more E numbers, preservatives, colurings, processed fats anymore, just the ingredients.

    Holland has a long way to go still though, which would probably surprise a lot of people to hear, that it's not as healthy a country as their reputation would suggest.

    Maybe that guy who did the documentary where he ate on nothing but McDs food for two weeks should put their claims to the test again.

    He eat far too much food, simple as that.
    His body was also reponding to the shock of a completely different diet.
    If I eat large portions of cuisine food, or had curries for every meal...I too would be in the same condition as somebody who had done the same with McDs food.
    Hasn't Claire Sweeney just eat what she liked and sat on her ass for a few weeks?
    With out (I think) discriminating against any one vendor.

    Yes.

    Yeah, I know, great aint it!
    You said: eating a McD once a week is accumulative.
    Yes, just like eating any food. Including your faveourite curry.
    Great that you enquire about what you eat.
    But, be honest is, your average curry any more healthy or unhealthy than you average McD meal?
