Super Size Me.

[Smittytheghost]

Am I the only one that thinks the movie "Super Size Me" is retarded? the guy eats 8 years worth of McDonalds in a month with no excercise and then tries to say that you shouldn't eat there because of hid weight gain and side affects. When in reality, no one eats nothing but Mcdonalds, and If you won't excercise, then you're just pathetic. And I know some people say "well, they can't afford anything else", but there are plenty of affordable healthy foods, so there really are no valid excuses unless you have a disease, disability or some genetic disorder.

(I apologize if this seems like a "Wall of Text", I just felt the urge to say this. an I know it was in '04, but I just watched it recently.)

[Gimmick]

No one doesn't eat there? Wut?

[Skrupsakken]

Are you fat or something?

[biohasard]

Honestly, who the fuck cares. People should be able to eat what ever they want.

I mean there's no one with a diet consisting of nothing but McDonalds.

He ate 90 meals, and that was the statistic of McDonalds meals that an average person eats over the course of 8 years, or at the time it was.

Gluttony is a sin.

[Bobbybroccoli]

A lot of people do eat too much fast food, and some people haven't voluntarily exercised in there life.

The point of the film was to raise awareness about the fact that if people eat there too much, it those results will happen.

Nowadays we have access to much more food than 100 years ago. It wasn't possible to become obese back then. Nowadays the food is cheap and it tasys good, so we have slowly degraded our self control.

The movie did come out in 2004, and in those 7 years McDonalds has made minor changes to their product nutrition.

It is very slightly out of date film, but its message remains true.

[BizzarroPMP]

I like the part where he ate there for a week and then threw up in his car.

Haha, what a pussydrama faker.

Sorry if I simplified that too much, I don't really feel like going into detail here.

[XenonMonkey]

I enjoyed Super Size Me, because it introduced me to the wonderful world of Wesley Willis.

[ForNoReason]

a little dated but whatever. You missed the point of the movie. He wasn't saying that people ate there for every meal. He took something to the extreme to prove a point.

[Lintire]

The film was a great one, and it really did change the lives of quite a few people worldwide. Awareness is one of the key steps to change, so yeah, it changed.

It was a great initiative, although the problem has never been with McDonalds; they're just in it for the money. It's the customers who need to grow the fuck up.

[Atlas]

If it's so retarded then why did you care so much to watch the movie and make this thread.

Why do I find this hard to believe? There were fat people back a hundred years ago.

[Letiger]

I eat fast-food everyday. Certanly not McDonalds, but I do. I have been for the past 10 years.

[Cootie]

I am surprised that all these people in the thread are saying that it educated people and changed lives? Who the fuck DIDN'T know that McDonalds was bad for you before? Don't eat it everyday and get up off your ass once and a while and you'll be fine.

People that try to sue McDonalds for making them fat need to explode.

[mothballs]

I didn't even think he had that much of a significant gain in weight, being that he had McDonalds 3 times a day 7 times a week for a whole month.

I mean yeah, the stuff isn't good for you, but it's obviously going to be terrible for you if you eat it THAT much. Nobody in their right mind would eat it that much even if they can.

I like to know if people agree or disagree with my opinions.

Shut the fuck up you liberal scum. I fucking hate people like you who think you're part of the chosen ones who are better than everyone else. Let people eat what they want and fuck the president's fat, ugly whore wife as well as the happy meal banning fags in San Fagsucksco. We are all capable of making informed, rational choices, despite the liberals thinking they're the only ones who have that ability.

I fucking hate you who thinks that you have the right to throw hate everywhere for no reason. You're the exact type of person who makes this world such a god awful place to live in, because you think that because someone thinks differently you have the right to say they are scum. You probably don't know what a liberal is. So stop trying to turn this apparently useless post into your little hate session.

[Rockyusa]

He eats nothing but McDonalds for a month. Most people don't do that, but it does show the extent of unhealthy food.

[ifureadthisdie]

I don't know man but that made me WANT Mcdonalds not want to stay away from it.

A surprising amount of people. Well, people knew that it certainly wasn't good for you, but the matter was that not a lot of people, certainly fat people at least, knew exactly how incredibly bad it is for you; I know that it persuaded my lard-ass mother to stop being so fat, so that was a plus.

Although I will say, the film would have been a whole lot more dramatic if they did a quick montage if him working all that fat off again.

[Rallard]

I'm guessing you don't remember that Mcdonald's used to have dark meat chicken nuggets, encouraged employees to try to make the customer pay for "super sized," and didn't print the nutrition facts on the meals.

You were probably like 7 years old at the time or something, so whatever.

[steph2568]

I remember watching it in 7th grade for health class and the guy threw up after finishing the breakfast he ordered. Then there was a deleted scene where they showed you McDonald fries than didn't expire after about 12 weeks, I think. Pretty fucking gross to see and it makes you realize the crap you put into your body.

[1916]

McDonald's was sued by a bunch of fat cunts who claimed that McDonald's was responsible for their choice to eat ridiculously fatty foods. The judge said that unless it could be proven that eating McDonald's caused the damage no money could be awarded to them. That was the purpose of the film, to show McDonald's food can be harmful.
