Fat Mcdonald

Caesar Salad at Mcdonald's will make you fat more than their Hamburger

You may think you are eating to be kind to your waistline - but think again.
The McDonald's Caesar salad, to be launched this month amid concern over spiralling obesity levels, is more fattening than the burger.
In its biggest menu revolution in 30 years, the restaurant chain will introduce the grilled chicken salad at 1,235 of its branches with a choice of Caesar dressing, or the lighter option of a drizzle of balsamic vinegar.
However, anyone hoping the salad option will help battle the bulge should read the nutritional information on the McDonald's website.

It shows that ditching the burger for a salad is no good for slimmers.
For with dressing and croutons it contains 425 calories and 21.4g of fat, compared with the 253 calories and 7.7g of fat in the standard burger.
Adding a portion of fries to your burger brings the calorie count to 459 - still less fatty than the salad at 16.7g.
Last month McDonald's announced it will ditch its super-size portion of fries and soft drinks at British outlets by the end of the year amid a backlash against firms blamed for an "obesity epidemic".
Medical experts have drawn a direct link between increasing obesity and giant portions of everything from fast food to chocolate bars and crisps.
A super-size portion of fries at McDonald's contains 486 calories, more than double the 206 calories in a regular serving.
The corporation said that without the creamy dressing and croutons on the salad, the fat falls away and the less calorific balsamic vinegar dressing contains only 2g of fat.

A spokeswoman added: "Free of dressing, a chicken salad has only 222 calories. It's the Italian cheese that makes the difference."

Fancy Food Syndrome

There is a known synrdome that makes you obssessed about classy fancy food

It's the "Gourmand Syndrome"

Gourmand Syndrome is a rare, benign condition that occurs in people who sustain injuries to the right frontal lobe. People who have Gourmand syndrome develop a new, post-injury passion for gourmet food. The syndrome was first described by Regard and Landis in the journal Neurology. It is characterized by a right hemisphere brain lesion and a obsessive focus on eating, thinking, talking, and writing about fine foods. However, it is not associated with an increase in appetite.
The most famous case of gourmand syndrome developed in a Swiss stroke patient. After his release from the hospital he immediately quit his job as a political journalist and took up the profession of food critiquing.


-People who have Gourmand syndrome are preoccupied with fine food, including its purchase, preparation, presentation, and consumption,and are less engaged than previously with friends, family, job, and other activities.
-Thought to be caused by injury to the right side of the brain — tumor, concussion, stroke, etc.
-The syndrome is very rare. It has only 34 reported cases in medical literature
-Some symptoms overlap with obsessive-compulsive and addictive disorders.
-Inspite of their “lusting after food” and enthusiastic consumption of it, people with gourmand syndrome do not seem to become fat,nor do they vomit, abuse laxatives, or engage in other pathological weight-loss behaviors.
-It's been noticed that they've had normal relationships with food before the brain injury.
-Cognitive, behavioral, and motor impairments are common, probably also related to the brain injury.
-People are not particularly troubled by their new consuming interest.
-The treatment of Gourmand syndrome should begin with a neurologist or possibly a psychiatrist.
