<\/div>\n
Here’s my podcast on it. <\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Of course, no one is going to be getting “Second Hand Big Mac”, but still the effect on your liver — not to mention your weight — is tremendous. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Poor Iceland, though. Their economy has been so trashed by this global economic meltdown. And THIS is the reason that McD’s made the financial decision to pull out. It’s too expensive to be there.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It would be great if the closing reflected a drop in demand for foods that harm your liver enzymes (see the Supersize Me documentary). <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Happy Halloween everyone!!
