This guy who made the movie Super Size Me is full of it. I saw him on Tv the other day talking about how his film is about the fast food industry in general and not particulary McDonald's...the host points out that he eats nothing but McDonald's food and the name of the film is SUPER SIZE ME for crying out loud, how can you say it's not about McDonald's in particular? It's not, he promises. Yeah right.
This idea is absurd. Do you know anyone that eats nothing but fast food everyday? I sure don't, and I've never heard of anyone doing so. Do you see many people eating 5, 000 calories a day, every day? I don't either. Do you see anyone who eats and crams food into their mouths until they're sick and even past that point? I don't either. So, this film is outrageous, in that- even the most obscene fast food eaters don't seem to go to these extremes...and golly gosh, I eat fast food all the time and I haven't ballooned, I haven't had any health problems...I, like every other normal human, eat a variety of things including fast food.
Blaming the fast food places, which is what Spurlock does in his film, is ridiculous. Fast food companies have never in my life forced me to eat at their place, nor have they ever rammed food into my mouth. Any of you ever been force-fed by McDonald's? I didn't think so...
Of course a diet of nothing but fast food isn't healthy, and you're going to put some fat on, and you're going to gain some weight. GASP! What a revelation! We don't need a fast food preacher telling us the dangers of not eating healthy, and we surely don't need someone who goes overboard and makes a film about it, then starts a campaign to fight fast food. The people that eat fast food- they are the ONLY ones responsible for their situations. Just as a drug addict is the only one responsible for being addicted to crack. This guy's whole premise is a joke.
