TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

I decided to go ahead and eat nothing but cheeseburgers this month. I'm kind of still working my way up to it, but I started a blog:

did you watch the fat head movie we were talking about in the other thread?

if you keep carbs under 100 grams pr day and total calories appropriate (or under) for your activity level you may be OK and actually drop a few pounds... i  suspect burger burnout will kill the experiment before the results are in...

No, i haven't yet.

You have no idea of my tenacity in the food-eating department.

I'm mainly curious about how homeless people fare, because they often get most of their calories from cheap fast food, since there aren't enough soup kitchens, and lack facilities for preparing the stuff that food banks give out.

I had more confidence in your experiment to eat nothing but potatoes for a month.

That went by the wayside because my partner crapped out on me, sadly.

I'm disappointed that you picked BK instead of Wendy's. BACONATOR OR GTFO!

I can get my cheeseburgers anywhere; the goal is to feed myself with the cheapest calories.

Also, I would be kicked off of some forums for posting this many times in a row.

The calorie-per-penny breakdown:
BK double cheeseburger special: 4.95 calories per penny (!)
BK single cheeseburger: 3.43 calories per penny
BK Whopper Jr. w/cheese: 3.36 calories per penny
McD single cheeseburger: 3 calories per penny

Granted, I could get more calories per penny by eating a loaf of wonder bread or a block of lard, but, in theory anyway, a cheeseburger has enough nutritional value to not be a death sentence were one to eat them long-term.

Also, in order to get fat a'la Morgan Spurlock, I would have to eat the disgustingly large quantities that he ate. He was eating about 4000 calories a DAY. He was eating fries and soda and enormous sandwiches, some of them fried. Eating cheeseburgers is not, somehow, automagically going to make me fat. I would have to eat FIVE Whopper Jrs w/cheese A DAY to get to my break-even point. FIVE. I cannot eat five cheeseburgers a day. I ate three yesterday, and that was as many as I wanted to eat. I was going to have another one and I couldn't. I just couldn't.

So, you're seriously doing this?

Malnutritioning your own body just to experience how homeless people fare?

In all honesty, this sounds like one of the most stupid ideas (regarding food etc) I have ever heard.

based on the quick calculations i did for my height and weight you should be fine calorie wise...  

i don't see any reason why one month would cause malnutrition (not an expert) but i am curious how it all works out... i suspect eating cheese burgers alone is somewhat more limited than most poor peoples diet  (but i don't know for sure..)

How are you getting the idea of malnutrition from a month of cheeseburgers? They have meat, cheese, bread, and even vegetables.

I am simply curious about how it will make me feel. Have you never had that thought? Have you no sense of adventure?

Besides, it amuses me.

Nigel, I'd ask you to please not do this for your health's sake, but I know that won't work so I'll just ask you to please PLEASE visit a doctor once a week while doing this.
