Makes the point but is a bit self-indulgent in how it goes about it.

[Anonymous No.6599134]

Entertaining but statistically shaky. See Fat Head for a good counterpoint.

[Anonymous No.6599141]

People moan about how silly stuffing your face then acting all surprised when you throw up all over yourself is a, but really that's just a hook. The film's really about corporate exploitation of America's obesity crisis, and to a lesser extent people's ignorance about their own diets.

Also some people who think documentaries = news get confused by it, but they're just idiots.

In a completely coincidental act I am just about to ride my bike to McDonald's.

morgan spurlock is a fucking retarded knob and by all rights should have been the next jeff foxworthy or larry the cable guy rather than someone that the public actually takes seriously

[Anonymous No.6599676]

Morgan Spurcock is a sham artist. He claimed to eat 5000 calories a day of McDonald's food which is impossible unless he ate like 10 Big Macs with fries and cokes a day, which is no where near the "average" consumption. He also refused to show his food logs.

Movie is kind of bullshit but I had to pause it midway through to go grab some food from McDonalds. Even though he's putting them in a bad light, it's like a 90 minute commercial.

That would be over 10,000 calories.

Way to prove your incompetence, fuckbundle.

Three of those meals (Spurlock ate 3 square meals a day) is still only just under 3400 calories. A typical McDonald's breakfast doesn't come close to 1000 calories either.

Why did you feel the need to mention that, when literally no one was talking about fat head and the thread is about Super Size Me?

Why do you feel the need to complain about something that wasn't even mentioned? You wouldn't go to a steak thread and say "Salmon is better than Cod"

not that guy and not backing up the fallacy claim but he refuses to share his data on his diet during that time and scientists have tried and failed to repeat his claims. So theres that.

[Anonymous No.6600610]

he has refused to produce his diet log. you would think if he was making a movie about how food makes you sick he would want that information to be public.

in fact all we know is he got fat, ate mcdonalds, and allegedly nothing else.

why is he refusing to show people his diet log? because the numbers likely dont add up and will reflect him either eating more mcdonalds than he said he did, or other foods to try and put on as much weight as possible in 30 days

He was an idiot for making up arbitrary rules to eat as badly as possible.
>he didn't have to supersize it anytime they asked
>he could have eaten a salad or had diet soda
>he could have skipped meals if he wasn't hungry or didn't do much work or exercise that day
>he said he lost energy to exercise, which was just an excuse, most people wouldn't if they could get out of it

if coffee scalding causes third degree burns it's way too hot, regardless if she had a lid on or not.

McDonalds was running a promotion at that time that their coffee was 10 degrees hotter than any local competitor.

[Anonymous No.6601056]

>>6601047
and? there are coffee machines that brew coffee at even higher temperatures than what mcdonald's was serving it at. i haven't heard of any lawsuits with those.

maybe because people aren't PUTTING HOT CUPS OFF COFFEE BETWEEN THEIR LEGS IN A CAR WITH NO LID.

he ate breakfast, lunch, and dinner. and they were usually supersized. he would also order more than one number sometimes. mickey d's breakfast sandwiches are like 360cal a pop plus hashbrown plus OJ or whatever. then you take into account the parfaits, and other stuff he order along side his regular meals. maybe not consistently 5000 but i believe he got close a bunch. still way more than a normal person needs, plus he wasnt doing anything active, he was doing the minimum amount of walking per day and shit. so add the calories he would normally lose in a day to that total as well. i know for mcdonalds thats not fair but for arguments sake against fatties that need to move sometimes its valid. my opinion of the movie has always been this though, "uhhh yeah we fucking know its bad for us." but then again a lot of people in the south probably dont know. plus you got people living in food deserts. idk, theres a lot of fucked up shit in this country and it wont change ever. no matter how much we think the government is in control, the dollar rules all. theres a reason the president has a somewhat secret meeting with the richest/most powerful people in the country. its not even like they have evil agendas. they are just happy making as much money as possible so long as they can get away with it. i was shocked when all the bans on cigarettes happened. i truthfully didnt think itd ever happen

[Anonymous No.6601986]

>>6601957
only 9 out of his 90 meals were supersized.

[Anonymous No.6601997]

Given how the majority of the world still buys food from street vendors that deep fry insects in lard you can fuck right off.

true dat. plus if i were to go food chain id say outback steakhouse probs.

either that or one of the "super fun time bar food" places (ie applebess, tgif's)

[Anonymous No.6602013]

>>6602003

Deep fried insects in lard might sound gross, but at least it's freshly prepared.

The problem with most fast food is that it's not fresh. It's loaded with preservatives and cooked in factory weeks before it is re-heated and served.

Given the choice I'll take the mystery-meat-on-a-stick from a street vendor any day .

[Anonymous No.6602016]

>>6599695
the issue with that case was that the coffee was so hot it caused third degree burns within seconds of skin contact.

the reason you think the court system is broken is because you're an idiot and mcdonalds wants you to think it's broken so they can recraft it to their liking

>>6602028

I never said anything about being fat anon. I agree 100% that eating too much is what makes you fat, not preservatives.

But unnecessary chemical additives are unhealthy in other ways, and the food just plain tastes bad in comparison to freshly prepared.

McDonalds coffee case was hilarious
>Boiling water has a temp of 90-100C depending on how close you are to the sea
>Coffee can get hotter than 100C before boiling
>Coffee contains slightly more energy per C
>McDonalds actually served her boiling coffee(!) as opposed to boiling water used to make coffee
>That fucking McD container for the coffee

>>6601056
Brewing != Storage
Brewing means you get boiling water, and it only gets so so hot
Storing boiling coffee means you are storing something that boils at a higher temp than water

>You show me one logical fallacy that he asserts?

"To give you an idea of how this food breaks down in your body, I'm just going to put it in some jars to show you how it breaks down on its own...." I'm not sure if this is technically a straw man argument, but the whole experiment is deceptive bullshit. Putting food in a jar is nothing like what happens to food in your stomach. And McDonald's french fries behaved just like any other small-cut french fries. They didn't grow mold because they of low moisture content and being fried with oil and salt.

It's been too long since I've seen it to remember the other details, but my impression was that it was full of silly gimmicks like that. Eating McD's is crap for you, no doubt, but he spouted a lot of BS because just saying "this has a shit-ton of calories from sugar and fat, and if you ate enough of it you'd gain weight" wouldn't fill an hour and forty minutes.
