Media outlets have been reporting about a Virginia man lost about 80 pounds in six months by eating nearly every meal at McDonald's. Not Big Macs, french fries and chocolate shakes. Mostly salads, wraps and apple dippers without the caramel sauce.
Coleson tipped the scales at 278 pounds in December. The 5-foot-8 Coleson now weighs 199 pounds and his waist size has dropped from 50 to 36.
Good for him. He lost weight, but simply losing weight does NOT imply the manner by which one went about it is healthy.
Anorexics lose weight.
Cancer patients lose weight.
Aids victims lose weight.
Weight loss is often a side effect of an illness and not something we would want to suggest people inflict upon themselves simply as a manner of losing weight. In the same regard, eating unhealthy foods and ellicting the side effect of weight loss isn't something to be celebrated--or recommended.
Eating Apple Dippers every day from McDonalds instead of a REAL apple? Why would anyone do that? Unless one was a "business man" looking for media exposure and possibly a Jared-style endorsement deal? Slice a REAL apple and stick it in a baggie for ONE DAY, see what you get, but apparently with Ronald McDonald's magic touch, their apples don't turn brown. Gee, I wonder why?...
Each day, 50,000 shiny, fire-engine-red Gala apples work their way through a sprawling factory in Swedesboro, N.J. Inside, 26 machines wash them, core them, peel them, seed them, slice them and chill them. At the end of the line, they are dunked in a solution of calcium ascorbate and then deposited into little green bags featuring a jogging Ronald McDonald.

From there, the bags make their way in refrigerated trucks to refrigerated containers in cavernous distribution centers, and then to thousands of McDonald's restaurants up and down the Eastern Seaboard. No more than 14 days after leaving the plant, the fruit will take the place of French fries in some child's Happy Meal.
