https://skeptoid.com/episodes/4088 I would suggest you guys with the righteous delight of having consumed this fast-food movie to use your own brain when making a decision on the validity of something to believe in.Hopefully this is not the most scientific and convincing bit of media you rely on.Things have to be logical and facts-based. And not just designed to get money from. I am not a fast-food fan at all. Not at all. However one needs to careful and make sure that the statements are proved and that it works both ways.

So, let me get this straight. Eating 5,000 calories, everyday, with no exercise will make you fat? Lord have mercy. How could I have been so stupid?Look here, people... This documentary is ridiculous. If you honestly believe for a second that you can eat anything in the amounts that he was and not gain weight, I pity you; you're an idiot. Granted, processed foods have the added bonus of slowly shutting down your body's systems when you eat nothing but processed foods, but eating processed food as a last resort, or a treat (both the former and the latter being consumed on occasion; "on occasion" being every 1-3 months), is not going to kill you or make you sick. Don't be stupid.Fast food is not the evil culprit of obesity in this country; it's just a factor among many factors. We live in a society of stupidity, laziness, and unrestrained pleasure-seeking. What do you expect? Thin, happy, faithful people with mental clarity and no addiction? Give me a break.

After watching the film, Super Size Me has most definitely influenced my eating habits. The film shows Morgan Spurlock's fast food journey over a month of eating only McDonald's everyday. Spurlock ate three times a day; breakfast, lunch and dinner, all from the beloved McDonalds. He made sure his experiment hit all the steps in the scientific method. This test, to see the effects to the body when eating only fast food, was not taken lightly. Many doctors examined Spurlock before, during and after the experiment. He proves to be a very healthy man in the beginning of the film but by the end of the month he had gained nearly 25 pounds. The movie how detrimental the fast food industry really is to America. Spurlock decided to test out this diet because he recognized the epidemic that has been raging in America: obesity. Two overweight girls, who blamed their obesity on McDonald's brought a lawsuit to the company, which failed. Spurlock makes a note on this regarding how addictive fast food can be. Throughout the month of the experiment Spurlock experienced side effects that he never had encountered before. He had trouble walking up the stairs when he was able to run at a rate of 7.5 miles an hour before the 30 days began. He gained 8 pounds in the last week alone and gained 25 pounds in total. His liver turned into fat after the 30 days of the experiment and his cholesterol shot up by 65 points. His body fat percentage went from 11% to 18%. He doubled his risk for coronary heart disease, which made him twice as likely to have heart failure. He had many mood swings making him depressed and exhausted and his sex life was non-existent. The craving for the food increased more and more when he ate it, and when he didn't eat is he would obtain massive headaches. These side effects are very similar to those of the cigarette. If he were to continue the diet he would most likely develop coronary heart disease, and become obese in a small period of time. Doctors conclude at the end of the film that fast food must be restricted from the diet. Daily exercise and overall diet should be on the top of your priorities. The doctors informed him he should not eat this type of food for a year because of the effect it had on the liver. Overall, I really enjoyed the film and learned a lot from it regarding fast food. I will take what I learned and apply it to my daily life. Eating fast food is a rare occasion for me anyway so I don't think I'll have a problem combating the addictiveness of it. The film is very informative and will help if you have any questions regarding the fast food industry. I highly recommend you watch!

The documentary "Super Size Me" is very informative and interesting to watch a man suffer so much by just eating just McDonalds. This film follows a man named Spurlock, who goes on a McDonalds diet for 30 days. In his diet, he must eat McDonalds 3 times a day for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Before he went on the McDonalds diet, he was examined by three doctor and found that he was healthy. Spurlock went back on regular basis to get check up by the doctor during his journey. He health changes dramatically. For the first few days in the McDiet his body rejected the food, but later in the film he starts carving and getting use to eating McDonalds food. Spurlock shows clearly in the film how eating McDonalds everyday affected him negatively. Even the doctors told him to drop the diet because it can cause permanent damage to his body. The doctor was surprised by his mass weight gain in just in a little time. Plus, his blood pressure shoot up, he had low energy, chest pain, and symptoms of toxic shock to his liver. Spurlock whole well-being changed because of the diet which he was not use to eating this unhealthy. One big point in the film was that fast food restaurants are selling their food to us and we want to blame them for that. The truth is that we are doing this to ourselves. People are willing to spend more money on fast food than buying a cookbook and cooking healthy meal for themselves. In documentary, they talk about people suing big fast food franchises because they believe they made them fat, which I believe is ignorant in their part. People need to stop blaming others and take responsibility for their actions. The point of this documentary is show us, the American people, the real world problem of obesity and related health problems, not to be abusive of fast food. He tries to prove the two matters by using himself as the experimental subject and which changed him mentally and physically. He provides information about how American serving size are bigger than others countries. For example, American's small size cup might be considered a large for other countries around the world. He also brings out the point that big fast food franchises pursuit kids to eat their food by using clever advertisement and tactics to pull kids to eat their food. Our generation is fattest and unhealthiest to date. I recommend this movie to everyone that is or is not obese. People need to be informed to not be abusive of fast food. That it is OK to eat fast food occasionally but not every day. The documentary is for sure a wakeup call for all those people who eat fast food daily even though they know the consequences and how it will affect their bodies in the long span. Spurlock suffered for us so we can learn to not make his mistakes and not damage our own bodies. After watching this documentary, you will think twice before ordering something from any fast food restaurant.
