Aww c'mon McDonald's, depression is NOT funny!

Earlier this month, a McDonald's ad surfaced on Boston's public transportation featuring a woman with her head down with a headline that read: “You’re Not Alone. Millions of people love the Big Mac," but after the hamburger giant did some research, it was found that they never even approved the ad.

After Mickey D's rep Nicole DiNoia heard about the craazzzy ad, she said:

They aren't delivering the food exactly… but it turns out McDonalds is happy to share the recipe!

On their Canadian YouTube channel, Executive Chef Dan Coudreaut shows us how to cook a Big Mac from the comfort of our very own kitchen with supplies available at any local grocery store!

He even teaches us how to forge that special secret sauce!!

Ch-Ch-Check out the video (above) and experiment with your own version!

Homemade "fast food" could actually have healthy ramifications!!

Cut down on the mayo, use a healthier whole-grain bread, and replace the beef patties with turkey or chicken and suddenly your mid-afternoon snack doesn't seem so artery clogging!

Bye Bye Big Mac! Fast food should be a once in a blue moon quick fix if at all! Contrary to the billion dollar ad campaigns, eating fast food many times a week is a recipe for health disaster. While it may taste great it won't give you the nutrition that you need to thrive. It just is not designed that way. Just look at how many obese people are in line at your favorite fast food joint. Walk away from the French Fries!

What. The. Eff.

A retired prison guard stuffed his 25,000th Big Mac into his mouth on Tuesday, exactly 39 years after he ate his first one.

Don Gorske holds the Guinness World Record for eating the most Big Macs, and he says he has no desire to stop.

Said Gorske:

"I plan on eating Big Macs until I die. I have no intentions of changing. It's still my favorite food. Nothing has changed in 39 years. I look forward to it every day."

What’s interesting about Gorske is that he’s relatively fit and has low cholesterol — because he exercises regularly!

While it’s certainly NOT healthy to eat Big Macs everyday, a little exercise goes a long way when you’re trying to stay fit!

Oh, and congrats to Gorske on his crazy achievement!

What causes a person to reach that point where they decide to get into shape? For Matt Hoover, it was all thanks to a chair.

Matt was unhappy with his weight at 500 pounds, but when he couldn't fit into a chair at a public place, he realized it was time to do something about it.

Here's what Hoover had to say about his embarrassing experience with a chair while out with friends at an Italian restaurant:

"I couldn't fit into the chair they had there. It was really embarrassing — just a horrible scene. They had chairs with arms. You had to be a certain width.

I told them to have fun, that I would go out and meet up with them later. I went to a coffee shop.

My size was preventing me from doing things that other people took for granted."

So sad. We're glad he was able to turn it around!

Here's some advice from Hoover on how to eat healthy:

"When you do exercises, it makes your eating better and gives you a healthy mindset. You don't want to screw up after walking four to five miles by eating a Big Mac."

And here's what Hoover is up to now, 300 pounds later:

"I'm a runner now. I've run 10Ks and trained for half marathons. I couldn't have done that before. Everything about my life has changed. I feel great."

So inspiring. Definitely motivation for sticking to your New Year's resolutions!

We're not sure why anyone is that thrown by this kind of list from her!

For goodness sake, her name is Posh Spice! She EXPECTS the finest of things!

Victoria Beckham apparently has QUITE the list of demands for what's to be in her dressing room when shes at photoshoots - or whatever exactly it is that she does - and although it doesn't rival Mimoo's or Jenny From The Block's in diva-tude, it's still pretty ridic!

It DEMANDS requests:

"Chopped fresh fruit - cut pineapple with grated lime peel, green seedless grapes, red grapes (frozen), cut-up pear with lemon juice, apples, peeled pink grapefruit, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries. Please DO NOT MIX up the fruit but keep separate. She's obsessed with fruit and can't get enough. The list always gets a chuckle from the lackeys who have to go and get this stuff. If we mix the fruit up there's hell to pay. But it's Victoria Beckham. What she wants she gets. Plain Green salad (no dressings on it) - balsamic vinegar on the side. This is NOT balsamic vinaigrette but PLAIN balsamic vinegar. The thicker version so either aged/glazed balsamic (buy at Wholefoods in USA) or take regular and reduce it on the hob. There is never a request for anything with more than a handful of calories. We joked about leaving a Big Mac in the dressing room - but we know we'd get fired."

Other requirements include flavored water, tea, scented candles, iPod speakers, a clean robe, baby wipes, white, cream, or purple flowers, and 'chewing gum' as a snack!

YUM!

Although we always are advocates for the healthy alternative, this is pretty extreme!

We would, however, LOVE to hear about what would actually happen if Posh encountered a Big Mac in her dressing room!

LOLz! Can U imagine??
