Well the manufacturers do have a point. One I agree with. Of course your cholesterol and weight will go up if you eat McDonalds 3 times a day for what, 6 months.

On the rare occasion I do go to KFC I never upsize. I find the whole meal a filling treat, but intentionally getting more chips and drink is just being greedy. I did get such a thing on the house last time, but that was only because they were delayed and I guess it was payment for waiting. I didn't realise till I got home.

Incidentally I have a condition called Ménière's disease. There is way too much salt in food these days, and it destroyed the hearing in my right ear. When I was diagnosed I think I had 6, maybe 10, times as much sodium in my system as was healthy. I only put a little bit of salt on my food once a week, on fridays when I have fish and chips. This is why I use other spices, like pepper, or chili. If you urinate 10 times a day it means you have too much sodium in your system.

I gradually weaned myself off salt, and these days eating anything with the amount of salt I used to have makes me want to throw up, it's so strong. Just standing near chips at the shop makes my temeprature go up. I won't tell you what happens to the skin in my mouth if I eat salt and vinegar.
