Super Size Me

This movie is pretty ones sided but it brings up a good point about how much fast food we eat and that it can't be good. I think he starts it off well showing that he is healthy and exercises regularly he gets blood work done and a check up at regular intervals during this film and sets ground rules for how it is conducted which I think makes it pretty honest, but 30 days of just eating McDonalds for every meal is just hard to take. He does bring up some interesting facts about the food served and what it does to you. Obviously if you eat this way you will gain weight and he also stopped exercising to be the so called average American. I believe this movie has valid points due to the fact that all of the fast food companies are on the healthy menu bandwagon and that it's pretty hard to dispute that a majority of Americans are overweight and out of shape. You can see that just walking down any street in America. All in all a pretty good flick and an interesting way to make your point.

Why didnt anyone tell me that McDonalds was bad for you??? THANK YOU for making this documentary, I would have been lost without it! I thought the love handles came from something I was doing wrong, but now, thanks to Mr. Spurlock, I realize that I am not to blame for anything. I must say, it feels good knowing that nothing is my fault, and that large corporations are to blame for everything.

I watched this movie because I was told how much of an "eye-opening" experience it would be. The only thing I saw, that apparently those who laud this movie's praises can't, is that generally, people do not continue to eat when they begin to throw up. But not this guy...no, he's hell-bent on proving a point, even if his biased tactics negate the very point he claims he is trying to make. He probably could've done the same thing by eating in excess liver or brussel sprouts or something else he dislikes. Anything in excess is bad for you. Anything you don't like that you eat in excess will likely make you throw up. Anything eaten in excess to the exclusion of anything else will have negative effects on your body over an extended period of time. How many people REALLY eat three full meals a day at a fast food restaurant, EVERY DAY for a month straight AND continue to eat that food after they begin vomitting?!?!?! The whole movie is propaganda b.s. and i/m/o anyone who tries to claim it's "prophetic" is simply refusing to acknowledge it is nothing more than "pathetic."

The DVD condition was perfect; the film was a documentary about fast-food restaurants. I watched the first few minutes and that was all I could stand. Guess it's good to wake folks up to the damages fast food can do to the body.

I am a nutritionist and dietitian. I used this DVD in my nutrition education class. The participants were very impressed by the movie. It saved me a lot of time for the preparation.
