The rules stipulated he had to eat there three times a day, and had to super size it if they asked, and each time he had to order a main, a side, and a drink. of course he opted for soda, probably the easiest to consume and most calorie dense things available across the country.
he also had to try everything on the menu at least once, but I think he stuck with what he liked

The real con of the movie is that he presents unpalatable facts about nutrition as if they only apply to McDonald's food.

Years ago some bullshit about "mcdonalds hamburgers don't age! look i left it out for a month and there's no mold!" and so someone immediately made their own hamburger and it didn't grow mold either. of course nobody cared by that point, all they knew was they could repeat was "mcdonalds food! imagine that going in you!"

>>12130665
In a way it's the same phenomenon McDonald's has made it's money exploiting, so I don't feel that bad for them. Fast food places work by selling generic food fast and cheap. McDonald's is particularly good about doing little things (sight, smell, salt, soda) to make you remember the food being better than it really is. They took that and made it into a selling point: there's some Disney-like engineered magic that makes their burger better than any other, and you can only get it here. Also, free toys.
A lot of people don't want to believe that they've simply been tricked by good marketing into buying a so-so product, and they'd rather believe there's some kind of evil secret ingredient that McDonald's has been using to manipulate them. That's silly, but it's also the logical result of trying to convince people that the perfectly manicured burger in the advertisement was prepared in three minutes for $1.

It definitely doesn't help, and an inactive slim person is still a pretty pathetic sight, but it is ultimately the food.

I seriously didn't know there was this much hate for this movie
Personally I think it was a pretty important film at the time. There was a lot less awareness of health and food's effect on it in the early 2000's than there is now. He exposed a lot of the insidiousness of advertising and upselling in fast food and shamed McDonald's into taking responsibility for their contribution to the obesity epidemic. After this movie McDonald's stopped asking to supersize and add fries to every order.
I know all you enlightened geniuses are far too smart to not realize fast food is bad for you, and how could anyone fall for the simple proposition to supersize your meal? All you have to say is no! But it worked, and that's why they did it. It really didn't use to be such common knowledge that fast food was poison and the success of this movie did a lot to raise awareness.

There are valid points, explanations, and acknowledgements made in this documentary. But they're hugely overshadowed by the gluttonous stunt Spurlock performed. No shit, you are going to ruin your body if you eat 5000 calories of sugary, salty, fatty foods every day. Most people aside from borderline vegetables (ketchup) and dumber, know this.
