> Fast food has been implicated in weight gain and insulin resistance by numerous studies.

Care to point to even a single one where the problem of fast food was not that people tend to vastly exceed their calorie requirements when eating fast food?

I'm genuinely curious. If you eat a "supersized" meal a day, you can easily exceed your calorie from that single meal depending on what you choose and how active you are. Of course you'll get fat and get other health problems in that case, but all that tells you is that eating too much is bad for you.
