High fructose corn syrup is practically a religion in America, so this movie was essentially insulting their gods. How dare this man suggest that fast food is unhealthy. Then things got worse when it came out that half the shit was faked for drama.
You know how like 80% of the doc is about how junk food companies have a disproportionate influence over media and policy which they use to push their product on an uninformed public?
Yeah, it's that.
I didn't need some libtard lecturing me about how my burger is unhealthy and then reducing the portion size of my fries. McDonalds is one of the quintessential American symbols. You come for McDonalds you come for America.
Whole documentary was a sham anyway with him blaming McDonalds for organ damage caused by his rampant alcoholism.
Nobody thought it was healthy, but they were shocked it would physically make you sick. As sick as say someone who was drinking a handle of vodka in the morning.
Well, he basically totally lied about everything in this doc and Morgan Spurlock's career is completely dead now
Obviously eating Mcdonalds every day is not good for you, but as long as you're not gorging yourself and never exercising, the only major impact to your health will be the high salt content. But a lot of people have done their own counter studies where they only eat McDonalds and actually lose a shitload of weight. It's just calories in, calories out dude it's not rocket science.
I don't really know what to tell you anon
One one hand, it SEEMS unhealthy
On the other hand, Don Gorske did fine
I'm gonna broscience and call it UNHEALTY(Addendum: If you are not going to do anytthing with your life, otherwise is just a macro meal)
This had nothing to don with fast food, it set a precedent that the federal government can just dictate what you can eat or what a restraunt can serve.
>supersize is now illegal.
McDonalds started discontinuing supersize meals before the film even premiered, largely in response to the PR nightmare of Pelman v McDonald's
Yeah, now McDonald’s legally can’t serve certain things in sizes and are legally obligated to have apples and shit literally you just posted why, shitbeard.
>now McDonald’s legally can’t
There is no legal reason they can't. There is no legislation or court ruling limiting what size portion any restaurant can serve. McDonald's withdrew super size meals voluntarily, despite actually managing to get Pelman's claims dismissed over the course of several (very expensive) hearings, because it forced them to go on record and admit that they had been lying to consumers about the nutritional value of their food. McDonald's coped and said that they were just "streamlining" their menus (https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna4433307)
I remember watching the movie in high school during one of my classes when it was the hot new documentary and one of my problems was that the film acts as if eating McDonalds every day is normal. Most people don't do that. The film focuses way too much on that aspect of things compared to its more interesting elements like the marketing power these fast food companies have. It's just too sensationalized.
The movie was trying to claim the soul reason americans are fat is because of the supersize option at mcdonalds, rather than just eating too much. This is objectively false, has been proven false, and the guy admitted to being a fraud.
The whole movie would have been nothing except he made sure to drink himself into vomiting and then claimed the Mcdonalds did it. That's all anyone talked about, the throw up scene.
It’s kinda like making a documentary where a guy smokes a pack of cigarettes every day for a month or drinks a handle of vodka every day for a month, like bruh we get that this shit is bad for your health, everybody already knows that. Americans are pretty fricking dumb but even we’re not dumb enough to not realise that junk food is incredibly unhealthy
>stuffs himself with over 5000 cals a day >ignores nutritionists advice to cutout soda and milkshakes >butt-chugging vodka daily
If he would've gained 5lbs it wouldn't have moved the needle. Honestly the only part with merit is showing how shitty the school lunch programs were and how little exercise kids were getting.
half of the deal was that teachers themselves were extremely excited about the documentary itself. my qt high school English teacher was otherwise a pretty level-headed woman but she was absolutely fascinated and raved on about this constantly, bringing it up when no one asked. she'd also bring up the Truman Show too randomly, but at least that was kino
Imagine a documentary about the hammer industry where a guy proves that hammers cause infertility by hitting himself in the balls with a massive sledgehammer three times a day. And then it comes out that he was actually in a relationship with a dominatrix who was subjecting him to extreme CBT behind the scenes for the entire time he was filming it.
not one person didnt know that mcdonalds wasnt good for you, some of the details surprised people but everyone who ate mcdonalds consciously knew it was unhealthy delicious slop

WHOA PROFOUND BETTER SHOW THIS 6 TIMES A YEAR TO ALL KIDS IN PUBLIC SCHOOL

It was more about marketing and business practices. Supersizing, for instance

enormous amounts of saturated fat
Depends on what you order
You could eat 40 McNuggies and still not hit your daily recommended value of saturated fats
>the only major impact to your health will be the high salt content
burgerland science, ladies n gents
he's right

Someone having a negative opinion of McDolands has always been one of my most reliable tests of if someone is a gay ot not.

The government didn't do jack shit in response to it
>i am silly
Thank you for playing
Yes they did supersize is now illegal. And I also had to watch this piece of shit every time I had a substitute teacher.

that precedent has existed since the start of the 20th century if not earlier
Americans literally have breakfast at Mc Donald's.
And that makes shitskins and europoors seeth so I'm thinking its based.
>dies at 47
>"e... e-eurocucks... b-btfo..."
>beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep
I'd rather die young as a free man than live to old age as a eurocuck eating an apple and a bread roll.
>*destroys your leftoid homosexual fake documentary*
100% Healthy
people just don't have self control, people will eat until they're full, not until they're satisfied
because he had a separate porn site called MILF Hunter
Didn't it turn out this guy's health problems were caused by his uncontrolled alcoholism that he hid from people while making the movie?

>or drinks a handle of vodka every day for a month
That's actually the movie he did make.
this, this is the open secret
every doctor that watched it was like "Oh, offscreen this guy is just an omega level alcoholic"
>stuffs himself with over 5000 cals a day
>ignores nutritionists advice to cutout soda and milkshakes
>butt-chugging vodka daily
If he would've gained 5lbs it wouldn't have moved the needle. Honestly the only part with merit is showing how shitty the school lunch programs were and how little exercise kids were getting.
Upselling soda with every purchase was one of the main problems being addressed. Cutting out soda would have meant not supersizing.
And the alcohol?
Zero calories soda exists moron, and it costs the same price

Probably just keen to stick it on and catch up on other work tbf

I always want McDonalds after I watch it
not one person didnt know that mcdonalds wasnt good for you, some of the details surprised people but everyone who ate mcdonalds consciously knew it was unhealthy delicious slop
You see, McDonald's made Tel Aviv mad one day...
