Maybe twice a month I'll end up at a fast food place, its never my destination. When I get a good buzz on though, its hard not to pull in for a half a bag of cheeseburgers that you get change back from a 10 on. I just try not to think about what I'm doing until the next morning

Stephen Dubner, who co-authored the best-selling book, hosted a debate on his blog after a reader suggested the McDouble packed a better nutritional punch for the penny than is often assumed.

The double cheeseburger provides 390 calories, 23 grams of protein – half a daily serving – seven per cent of daily fibre, 19 grams of fat and 20 per cent of daily calcium, all for between $1 and $2, or 65p and £1.30, The Times reported.

Kyle Smith, a New York Post columnist, threw his support behind the McDouble’s nutritional value for money.

“For the average poor person, it isn’t a great option to take a trip to the farmers market to puzzle over esoteric lefty-foodie codes”, Mr Smith wrote.

“Facts are facts – where else but McDonald’s can poor people obtain so many calories per dollar?”

Mr Dubner added: “The more I thought about the question, whether the McDouble is the cheapest, most bountiful, and nutritious food ever, the more I realised how you answer that question says a lot about how you see the world, not only our food system and the economics of it, but even social justice.”

A 2007 University of Washington survey found that while junk food costs as little as $1.76 per 1,000 calories, fresh vegetables and healthier foods can cost more than 10 times as much.

In the online debate, some farmers suggested the McDonalds burger deserved more credit for feeding the poor cheaply.

Blake Hurst, president of the Missouri Farm Bureau, said: “The biggest unreported story in the past three quarters of a century [is] this increase in availability of food for the common person.”

But Tom Philpott, a campaigning organic farmer from North Carolina, said there were many more nutritious ways of feeding people cheaply.

“You can get a pound of organic brown rice and a pound of red lentils for about £1.30 each”, Mr Philpott said.

“A serving of each of those things would be around 48 pence.

“In order to present to us all that burger, you’re talking about a vast army of working poor people.”

This is great news for all the Europoors.

what are the gluttony values of this big mac ?

I don't know. It probably says in the article, I didn't read it.

I hardly ever eat fast food but i had a jalapeño burger about a week ago and holy *****. That **** was good as hell. 10/10 would get a wheel chair for

The McDonalds double cheeseburger is my weakness. I'll stop for no reason to get 2 double cheeseburgers, no sauce (Cause they make that **** unedible in a car). For years i've tried to explain to people the value of the double cheeseburger, now I have a scientific article to prove my previously extremely biased opinion.

Thank you. Thank you all.

Breezed through the thread, but didn't see anything about about the original documentary on fast food, "Supersize me." Let's feed those double cheeseburgers to you 3 meals a day for 30 days and see how healthy you are.

Next issue is... since when was buying fast food ever efficient use of money? You could make 3 of those things for the price of what you pay at the restaurant.

Why would there be anything about a mockumentary in a science article?

Soso Whaley, an independent film producer, made a YouTube movie reply titled Me and Mickey D's, in which she also ate all meals at McDonald's, yet lost weight—20 pounds over 60 days; 30 pounds in 90 days. Whaley's results were quite different because of the reduced calorie diet, and inclusion of exercise. Some of Whaley's requirements for her meals were the same as Spurlock's (had to eat everything on the menu over the course of the experiment, etc.); but some were different (she didn't have to clean the plate—Spurlock required himself to do so). Whaley also documented her meals by saving the receipts.

Unless you're willing to do some reading and understand the subject you really shouldn't post about it.

This comment made me laugh out really loud. +10 pts for hypocrisy.
