It is fast food.<BR/>The jewish foods described are all fatty, but they are not fast foods.Rafi G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00699851287106903971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-20115058523293529582008-07-01T07:34:00.000+03:002008-07-01T07:34:00.000+03:00SHAYA G:"once in a while though . . . isn't so har...SHAYA G:<BR/><BR/>"once in a while though . . . isn't so harmful"<BR/><BR/>yeah, like maybe once a month<BR/><BR/>you are correct in that probably very few people, if anyone, eats supersized meals at fastfood chains 3 times a day.<BR/>however, many people do eat supersized fast-food TYPE meals 2-3 times a day.<BR/><BR/>there is a reason why there is a rapidly growing rate of obesity, juvenile diabetes, etc. in america. a sedentary lifestyle is part of it, but so is the fact that we eat like voracious gluttons.<BR/><BR/>and while you can argue that his experiment took it to the extremem, this is irrelevant. even a diet half as bad as what he did is still dangerous.Lion of Zionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10342299133387602141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-74534547470961967602008-07-01T04:25:00.000+03:002008-07-01T04:25:00.000+03:00LOZ,I saw the movie and his new shows.

That would have changed the final results. It's the same as the food down south in America, with meat for brakfast and high caloric and fatty foods eaten. When they used to work on the farm for 10-12 hours a day, that type of diet was needed. When you spend the day staring at a computer screen, a different type of diet is neededrescue37https://www.blogger.com/profile/13823591048706633363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-46501044708082559162008-06-30T14:33:00.000+03:002008-06-30T14:33:00.000+03:00does not exist.many years ago, when Bonkers Bagels...does not exist.<BR/>many years ago, when Bonkers Bagels was at its peak of success and had a chain of bagel stores, they opened up a deli in downtown Jerusalem. That was decent, although nothing like a deli sandwich you can get at Romanian or Hungarian or KK..<BR/><BR/>the next best thing today is Matam Chafetz Chaim deli in Jerusalem (you buy the deli and make the sandwich yourself at home. I do not think they make sandwiches. But the deli is decent compared to everything else around - and the owners are originally from Chicago).<BR/><BR/>Maybe there is another place I am not aware of.
