It's easy to give into the supersize temptation at a fast food restaurant.

(America's Fast Food restaurants aren't only super-sizing their

"THE AMOUNT OF MONEY IT COSTS TO UPGRADE TO LARGER SERVING SIZES IS
USUALLY SMALL, BUT OFTEN YOU ARE BUYING EXTRA CALORIES YOU DON'T NEED."
According to the Center for Science in the Public Interest..for just
pennies you can upgrade from a McDonald's Quarter pounder with cheese,
small fires and small coke to the extra-value meal of Quarter pounder
with cheese, large fries and large coke and you increase your calories
by a large amount..nearly 500.
(STANDUP: DREW LEVINSON )
"LET'S SAY FOR EXAMPLE YOU GO TO 7-11 AND YOU ORDER A DOUBLE GULP
INSTEAD OF A REGULAR GULP, IT IS ONLY 37 MORE CENTS FOR 48 MORE OUNCES,
BUT YOU ALSO GET 450 MORE CALORIES, THAT'S THE SAME AS A McDonald's
QUARTER POUNDER WITH CHEESE."
And this "value marketing" as it's called is contributing to the rising
rates of obesity in adults and children. Experts say obesity costs 117
billion dollars a year in health care costs and will soon overtake
smoking as the number one killer in this country..
( CAROL TUCKER FOREMAN/CONSUMER FEDERATION OF AMERICA )
"WE AMERICANS ARE QUITE LITERALLY EATING OURSELVES INTO AN EARLY GRAVE."
Still--those who get the bigger meals, have a way of rationalizing it.

BREAKFAST THEN IT IS NOT A BOTHER."
( MARC ECHELLE/FAST FOOD EATER)
"I GET A COUPLE OF WORKOUTS DURING THE WEEK SO I INDULGE WHEN I CAN"
Nutritionists say there is a way to solve the problem--instead of going

into these words, small or half or share.
