Should have watched the movie "Super Size It." first.  You'll certianly
be in very bad shape afterwards.

Please get a physician involved NOW to tell you when to pay the money.

Keep in mind that in Super Size Me he was doing it for 30 days, and the
doctor was imploring him to stop after 20 days or so.  He's supposed to
do this for 90 days.  And in Super Size Me, he was eating from
everything on the menu, which while it certainly has bad stuff in it,
there are certainly some good things too.  And even the burgers can
have some lettuce and tomatoes.  So while he was getting mostly bad
things he was at least getting a variety of things.

I think this is a very bad bet.  I don't think he will be able to
complete this task as described.  I think there is also a good chance
he will suffer some permanent physical damage, or mental.  Basically,
he's going on a 3 month fast for $10,000.  The reason I say fast is
because I think this is the best case scenario and also offers the best
chance of success, to eat as little as possible.  If he tries to get
2,000 or even 1,000 calories from this diet, I think he will suffer
some permanent physical damage.  Take a look at the nutritional facts
for Velveeta Processed Cheese Spread:

http://www.calorie-count.com/calories/item/1191.html

If my calculations are correct, if he eats 12 oz a day, he'll be
getting just over 1000 calories a day, while also getting over 200% the
RDA for sodium (the cholesterol would be at 84% RDA at 12 oz).  And
regardless of the ounces per day, he'll be getting a breakdown of 13%
carbs, 22% protein, and 65% fat, which everyone knows is not the ideal
split.  Maybe one could satisfy their appetite with less than 12 oz a
day, I don't know how filling Velveeta Cheese is, but then you are
under 1000 calories.  I understand that the body can adjust to this low
level of calories for an extended period of time, so it might be
possible.

So, basing my opinion on what I saw in Super Size Me and comparing it
to this proposed diet at 3 times the length of time, I doubt few
Americans can complete this task before they get very sick, or give up,
for a prize of  $10,000.  If their was more incentive obviously more
would find the willpower to complete it, it would be interesting to see
how far some could go for millions.

I totally concur with this entire post.  Thanks for correcting the
title of the movie, too.  Super Size Me was an eye-opener for both my
wife and me.  Totally shocking!

Agreed! I haven't had a McBurger since... May as well just drink straight

You are going to see some very dire predictions but nothing permanent
is going to happen to you in ninety days. It won't be pleasant but it
will be better than, if you will xcuz the xpresshun, working for the
money. Don't eat a whole lot.

Expect Velveeta to make you the "Jarrod" of the Velveeta cheese spread
world.  $10,000 will be nothing compared to the $ you'll be getting for
endorsements.  Also, expect no support from David Blaine who is the
king of doing stupid sh.t for money.

They will never pay up, even if you complete the task. Poker buddies
are notoriously unreliable. I suggest you contact Kraft and tell them
what you are doing, and that you have retained a lawyer in case things
go wrong. Maybe they will provide you with some special Velveeta with
vitamin C,D, and mineral enhancements.

Velveeta:
Ingredients: MILK, WATER, MILKFAT, WHEY, WHEY PROTEIN CONCENTRATE,
SODIUM PHOSPHATE, MILK PROTEIN CONCENTRATE, ALGINATE, SODIUM CITRATE,
APOCAROTENAL (COLOR), ANNATTO (COLOR), ENZYMES, CHEESE CULTURE.

This is interesting, also:

http://www.calorie-count.com/calories/item/1191.html

Serving size for the facts is 1 oz.  You'd need at least 23 servings
per day to make about 2000 calories.  But,  with that you'd be taking
in 460% of your daily recommended fat and AT BEST 10% of your
recommended vitamin C.

Just think with all that Cheese Culture, he could move to Wisconsin.

With that diet, he'll be luck if he ever moves again.

Are vitamins permitted?  I'm supremely pissed on the prop bet front
today, given that ZeeJustin is currently leading the PS Atlanta event
and all five of my horses are out, but I'm much happier with my
situation than I would be with yours.  I like Velveeta as well as the
next man (probably a bit more, actually), but 90 days of nothing but
Velveeta would drive me insane.

Do the math: it's $111 per day.  Assuming you eat three times per day,
it's $34+ every time you suck down a big glop of American Pasteurized
Process Cheese food.  At the outset of this bet, that'll seem to you
like a bargain, but by the end, you'll hate velveeta so much that you
may never eat any form of cheese again.

Still, I applaud your spirit.

He is perfectly safe. Velveeta is not a form of cheese at all.

Suprisingly Velveeta is in fact mostly real cheese. Truth is stranger
the fiction sometimes.

1) You will realize you are going to die and stop.
2) Brain function impaired before you realize you are going to die.

You should contact a TV producer. I think you have the next hit reality show

You need to get a 50 foot length of thick-wall nylon tubing for your
semi-permanent 90-day hook-up between your butt and the nearest
plumbing drain for this diet of yours to work safe-&-sanely.  After
about 5-6 days on the Velveeta Cheese Spread & Water diet, you won't be
able to run fast enough to plunk your leaky about-to-explode a.s to the
toilet before, "THAR SHE BLOWS, CAP'N AHAB!!!  IT'S THE GREAT WHITE
WHALE DROPPIN' ANOTHER LOAD OF AMBERGRIS!!!"

Be sure and save that stuff, if you can afford to not flush for those
90 days.  Perfume manufacturers in <name some place where people smell
really bad.  I don't travel much so I wouldn't know for sure> pay a
fortune for that stuff.
