This was an effective and valiant propaganda piece created to counter the tyrannical corporate assault on public health. I don't give a frick if some of it was faked or if he drank a bit of le whiskey. it worked to some degree and the ends ALWAYS justify the means.
You almost had me til that last sentence, you smarmy feller.
>another vegan homosexual seething because his moronic "hero" died like the b***h he was
LOL
coke and rum
>and the ends ALWAYS justify the means.
by that logic the Holocaust was justified.
is that really what you're saying anon?
let me kick that around for a bit and get back to you
Fast food isn't bad for you. Fullstop. There is a guy who eats like 2 big macs a day and he is 75 and healthy
>n=1
citation needed trust me I dont lie dont work on Cinemaphile
I think anon is talking about Don Gorske, he has eaten over 30,000 Big Macs in his life.
He’s literally in the movie. They interview him.
He eats one burger a day and doesn't "supersize" anything."
Fast food won't kill you but experimental gene therapy may.
Good luck vaxgays.
two more weeks!
Tickety tock
Yeah but he only eats the sandwich and doesn't order fries and drink.
He also drinks nothing but soda.
That said he also runs and is physically active.
His secret is that he only drinks water, no soda. Soda is the killer.
He lives in the town I used to live in. He’s a nice guy and the news has done stories about his love for Big Mac and McDonald’s
Heroin isn't bad for you. Fullstop. There is a guy (william burroughs) who injected like 5 grams a day and he died at 83.
Smoking isn't bad for you. Fullstop. There is a guy (my gramps) who smokes like 2 packs a day and he is 80 and healthy.
You dumb fricking mutt.
Correct. Heroin in moderation was never bad for you. Tobacco isn't either, look at Castro. its all the additives that get you
Are you israeli? They have that mentality. Btw, there is no end so what do you use to justify the means? Jk don't care what you have to say.
Are the israelites in the room with you anon? sounds like you got israelite Derangement Syndrome. Sad
In the room? No. In tunnels under the room. Shalom
>people talking about super size me
>no one mentions how he was literally right about Osama's whereabouts
He didn't drink a "bit" of whiskey. He essentially pickled his liver in a month and used McDonald's as a ruse to disguise his morbid alcoholism. McDonald's is dogshit processed food devoid of nutrition, but it doesn't effect your liver like that.
What is the source on this anyway?
He did some interview where he admitted he hadn't been sober for over a week since he was 13, which would bring that to about 14 years of heavy drinking at the time of filming this documentary. He initially denied drinking during the filming, but later admitted that he was. I'm too lazy to find the source, but even the doctor in the documentary is basically accusing him of alcoholism every time he tests his liver.
Didn't he get it checked before he did the challenge? Like it would have been fricked even before he started but I guess he could have kept that part out
Yeah, I think those initial tests were largely fabricated and image controlled for the thesis of the documentary. Like, I'm "healthy" now....but look what McDonald's has done to me!
>Didn't he get it checked before he did the challenge?
he lied to every doctor about his drinking, and as part of the post-"experiment" analysis, one of the doctors said something to the effect of "the only people I've seen with livers like yours are long term, severe alcoholics, never from eating a bad diet"
The liver tests wouldn't have lied though.
through the magic of editing, the viewer would never see the doctors discussing his imminent liver failure from pre-"experiment" tests
This is all speculation though. I don't doubt that his liver was in rough shape, however it is easy to protect your liver from alcohol with food. It's why most hardcore functioning alcoholics die of other organ issues.
spurlock had the gall to take that footage and throw "THATS HOW BAD MACDONALDS IS" overtop of "It doesnt even make sense that food would do this to your liver"
see
shill
Really weird how in this last week a bunch of threads about this documentary started showing up and today the dude died of cancer.
Really weird.
Time travellers?
super size me threads have been around forever you fricking newhomosexual
Not in the same frequency this
last week
Why are you dismissing my concerns? Are you part of them?
Nah the guy who made Fathead had inside info and has been astroturfing threads here to prep for the gloat of a lifetime
all me
It was the 20th anniversary and it got a special rerelease
>McDonald’s is… le bad?
why was this shit a big deal again? everybody knew macca’s was bad for you already
people who watched it were literally too dumb to think critically about it. mcdonad's even publicly said no one should eat fast food three times a day every day. dude was eating over 5,000 calories of processed food a day and drinking like a fish. no wonder he felt like shit.
morons like you are getting baited by mcdonalds for focusing on the "three times a day" bullshit and not the fact that they did everything in their power to get kids hooked on mcdonalds and get their parents to feed their kids the slop
everyone defending mcdonalds in regards to the movie should reevaluate
>defending mcdonalds in regards to the movie
Who's doing that? All I ever see is people calling Spurlock a fraud.
Yes he's a fraud but people act like thats the only point of the movie which it isnt
Again, the point of the movie is how these fast food companies use their enormous wealth to prime us and funnel us slop
>Yes he's a fraud but people act like thats the only point of the movie which it isnt
He would prefer it wasn't the only point, but it becomes the only point in retrospect when it became apparent that the data the documentary's conclusion was based on was fraudulent. If he wanted to make a doc about corporate malfeasance and manipulation of children's desires and how that sets people up for failure he should have focused on that instead of running an ostensibly scientific experiment with completely bullshit falsified data. Doing that only works to undermine completely everything else you put forward even if it's not directly related to your experiment.
If I'm remembering correctly it was from a public release he made during the metoo era when he got called out by some woman and he tried to excuse the behavior by claiming he's a drunk and always has been.
The experiment is purposeful to draw attention to the rest of the shit, nobody would have given the movie any shits without that premise
my point is that even if you eat 5,000 calories of salad every day you're going to gain weight. energy in; energy out. it's as simple as that. self control and lack of willpower is not the fault of any food company.
true, i stopped drinking soda because of this doc
Yeah people here are shitting on this but it scared me off of eating like shit. I was overweight when they made us watch it and haven't been since
idk about you all but when i watched it in health class it made me get mcdonalds that same day, by the end of it even my freshmen self knew morgan was bullshitting on the health consequences, only homosexual kids saw this and were shocked or surprised
corporations don't care about your health and neither do alcoholics masquerading as independent journalists.
>he was an alcoholic therefore you shouldn't care what McDonalds puts in their food
I never really got this argument
not the point. the point is that he blamed mcdonald's for his diminishing health when really it was due to his alcoholism. i'm sure eating 5000 calories of processed food every day didn't help, but it wouldn't pickle your liver.
A Big Mac is only 500 calories. That isn't going to make you fat
You can eat four a day if you're an average male.
>bro it just calories! don't worry about the pages long of ingredients and sneed oils!! calories in calories out simple as
I don't know what mc d's puts in the food but i have sneezing fits any time i eat one of their burgers.
didn't another person do this experiment of only eating mcdonald's, but they only ate it once a day and that was the only thing they ate and they lost weight?
you can eat 1500 calories worth of candy a day and you'll lose weight, what do you think is happening to your insides?
dude shut up. you're gonna die anyway. just don't be a fat frick while you live.
>no retort
enjoy your hypertension in your 30s, skinnyfat
did you even watch it? at least two a day, plus whatever horseshit they're feeding you for breakfast. he also always got coke. and, by whatever self-imposed rule he made for himself, he would need to super size it if asked. three times a day for 30 days. you'll put on a few.
The real redpill is that McDonald's likely bankrolled this movie. Their food, at that time, wasn't actually unhealthy but it was expensive and they could make a lot more money if they sold actually unhealthy food. So they quietly support this movie and don't deny their burgers are shit, then they slash prices and ACTUALLY make their burgers shit since everyone believes it anyways. Also they get to create a whole new "health" menu (like the egg white sandwich and shit). McDonald's was not letting this movie get out unless it benefitted them
yeah they totally rode the wave and brought out a bunch of """healthy""" foods to take advantage of it all
they were already making "healthy" grilled chicken salads and sandwhiches before this movie released
Why does food that's bad for you have to taste so good and food that's good for you have to taste so bad?
this and the columbine michael moore movie basically told me that every documentary is propaganda in some form
Never mind the alcohol thing. The real killer is that he was too afraid to show the logs of what he ate exactly. Meanwhile the 5000 calorie meal is unlikely.
>counter the tyrannical corporate assault on public health.
Not everything needs to be le ebil Boogeyman. McDonald's just wants to sell some burgers without criticism. There's no maniacal plan.
Grow up.
The american people are craving plastic and lead in their food and drinks with tons of sugar and saturated fatty acids created on a gas stove. Stop making our food woke by removing these essential ingredients so the magic can happen!
He killed millions
Pushing propaganda that the only reason you are fat is because you eat from certain brands. McDonalds isn't some healthy food but it is healthier than the majority of trash people eat, like this guy's vegan diet. Obesity rates are worse than ever. Super Size Me was a big documentary and went viral, and that chance to educate the public was wasted on propaganda. If Fat Head went viral instead most people would realize that it's all about calories in and calories out.
Obesity rates are worse than ever.
>like this guy's vegan diet.
He wasn't vegan. In fact he quite being vegan after doing a 1 month vegan stint following filming.
>If Fat Head went viral instead most people would realize that it's all about calories in and calories out.
>the movie which claims that obese people live longer and are healthier than non-obese people is supposed to save public health
lmao nice try feminist.
>McDonalds isn't some healthy food but it is healthier than the majority of trash people eat
Maybe in third world shitholes like Burgerland or India lmao
Nice try, yellowskin.
hi ketolard
see
you have been debunked
>>To see what effect an increase in meat consumption might have on disease rates, researchers studied lapsed vegetarians. People who once ate vegetarian diets but then started to eat meat at least once a week were reported to have experienced a 146 percent increase in odds of heart disease, a 152 percent increase in stroke, a 166 percent increase in diabetes, and a 231 percent increase in odds for weight gain. During the 12 years after the transition from vegetarian to omnivore, meat-eating was associated with a 3.6 year decrease in life expectancy.

>meat is le bad!
lol fake as frick.
>Results published in 2012 from two major Harvard University studies—the Nurses’ Health Study, which followed the diets of about 120,000 30- to 55-year-old women starting in 1976, and the Health Professionals Follow-Up Study, which followed about 50,000 men aged 40 to 75—found that the consumption of both processed and unprocessed red meat appeared to be associated with an increased risk of dying from cancer and heart disease, as well as shortened life spans overall—a conclusion reached even after controlling for age, weight, alcohol consumption, exercise, smoking, family history, caloric intake, and even the intake of whole plant foods, such as whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. The findings suggest there may be something harmful in the meat itself.
>The largest study of diet and health was co-sponsored by the National Institutes of Health and the American Association of Retired Persons. Over a decade, researchers followed about 545,000 men and women aged 50 to 71 and came to the same conclusion as the Harvard researchers: Meat consumption was associated with increased risk of dying from cancer, dying from heart disease, and dying prematurely in general. Again, this was after controlling for other diet and lifestyle factors.
deny the science all you want, it won't make your gluttonous habits healthy
recent studies show this to be false, and even caused a huge dustup at harvard because big SOI threatened to pull funding, maybe you arent trusting the science hard enough
Ah yes I didn't realize it had be deboonk'd
>uhm akshally sweety recent studies say that's fake
yeah no that's not how that works, you have to make a specific claim. I know you don't have a source for this because of the low IQ way in which you "rebutted" me, but just in case: source?
>recent studies
qui bono
you can just look at people around the world, the healthiest and longest lived groups eat very little red meat. but keep sucking the wiener of american agricorps to OWN THE LIBS
>RED MEAT BAD
>recent studies say thats not true
>suddenly the soi industrial complex lashes out like rabid hounds
embarassing.
You need to show these recent studies because all I keep finding is that you should eat red meat in moderation at best.

This is an online article. Not even peer reviewed. Come on. At least give it to me from the source.
the source is hyperlinked in the fricking article, are you serious?
Bro. The only actual source meekly admits that there is actually a risk there and more studies need to be made and guess what? They are being made and all come to the conclusion that red meat can frick you over
>While there is some evidence that eating unprocessed red meat is associated with increased risk of disease incidence and mortality, it is weak and insufficient to make stronger or more conclusive recommendations. More rigorous, well-powered research is needed to better understand and quantify the relationship between consumption of unprocessed red meat and chronic disease.
>https://www.realclearscience.com/articles/2022/11/14/red_meat_is_not_a_health_risk_a_new_study_slams_years_of_shoddy_research_864601.html
>We found weak evidence of harmful associations between unprocessed red meat consumption and risk of colorectal cancer; the mean RR at 50gd−1 relative to no intake was 1.30 (95% UI inclusive of between-study heterogeneity of 1.01–1.64), while the mean RR at 100gd−1 was 1.37 (1.01–1.78) (Table 2 and Fig. 1), where the UIs account for between-study heterogeneity and other forms of uncertainty. We estimated the exposure-averaged burden of proof RR to be 1.06, indicating that consuming unprocessed red meat in the range of 15th to 85th percentiles of exposure (0gd−1 to 98gd−1) was associated with at least a 6% higher risk of colorectal cancer. This corresponds to an ROS of 0.06 and a two-star rating, consistent with weak evidence.
They find "weak" evidence of a 1.37 risk ratio for colorectal cancer and similar numbers for diabetes and others, with statistically insignificant evidence for meat effects on stroke (though still positive RRs). Note that only 55 out of 3,286 studies met their inclusion criteria.
> even after controlling for age, weight, alcohol consumption, exercise, smoking, family history, caloric intake, and even the intake of whole plant foods, such as whole grains, fruits, and vegetables
How the frick do you “control” for that many variables over a series of decades. That’s preposterous.
It's called "math" bro.
Alcohol isn't being shoved onto school children like fast food is.
> Diet was assessed by validated food-frequency questionnaires and updated every four years.
Self report, which isn't ideal, but the questionnaires are validated, ie accurately measure the thing they claim to. But in order to deny the findings of the study you would have to claim that the self-reporting was systemically flawed in such a way that meattards were under reporting their bad habits and veganchads were over reporting their bad habits enough to actually reverse the finding, which you have no evidence for.
Fathead is even worse somehow
I love watching right wingers reflexively defend unironic slop because le hollywood made fun of it.
>unironic slop
the mcdonalds or super size me?

feel sorry for him
Your shitty "I know better than the common man so I'll lie to make something seem worse than it is" mentality is why people don't believe in climate change.
It's that whole idea about being dramatic to shake people out of apathy. Problem is, it just seems to make people even more apathetic than before.
enough people live on earth with the mindset of "If youre just going to lie to me, I wont bother listening to anything you say" The way climate activists have no answer for china and india besides "well....we need to do better here" while we struggle to pay our bills is enough to turn people off
>The way climate activists have no answer for china and india besides "well....we need to do better here" while we struggle to pay our bills is enough to turn people off
China and India actually care about climate change and actively try to reduce emissions. Meanwhile the anglophone west pretends it doesn't exist. Nice try though.
His family should be sued by mcdonalds and forced to hand over most of their pay for the rest of their family line. Interest making sure they can never pay it back. Also they should be banned from using any medium of expression as not to infect the public with further lies.
Zoomers don't understand just how cheap McDonalds actually was back during this time period. A working class family could easily feed like 4 kids and themselves for under $20 on this slop (thus the obesity problem among poors.) It's a bit different nowadays since inflation has fricked everyone.
Wasn't inflation. W gave 700 billion to the banks. Making the dollar instantly worthless.
>It's a bit different nowadays since inflation has fricked everyone.
A myth created by the upper class in developed nations to sell you products for higher prices. All they're doing is consequence free price gouging while everyone is struggling.
It’s amazing that every company in every western nation got greedy in the exact same way at the same time, and convenient that everybody went along with it. Imagine if someone had broken rank and lowered prices so more people would shop at their store and they’d make a bigger profit.
>every company
most brands in the US are owned by like 3 companies
>It’s amazing that every company in every western nation got greedy in the exact same way at the same time,
It's a process that's been happening for a long while and most corporations by the US used the pandemic as an opportunity to get richer through the blood of the poor which they did.
Delusional troony cope. Obesity now is worse than ever. In hindsight there was no obesity problem at the time the documentary was released.
>Obesity now is worse than ever. In hindsight there was no obesity problem at the time the documentary was released.
Shut the frick up you fat piece of shit.
It's always been bad but you're correct that it has been getting worse. Issue wasn't McDonalds but the lack of cheap and healthy alternatives.
>Issue wasn't McDonalds but the lack of cheap and healthy alternatives.
poortard cope. Thirdies in actual third world shitholes subsist off of a much healthier diet because beans and yams are a lot cheaper than meat. McDonald's is actually far more expensive than any kind of health food you would buy from a grocery store. It's just convenient. There isn't a lot of healthy restaurant food in general but the fact you are going to a restaurant means you can afford far healthier food, but choose not to.
Do...you work for McDs or something?
that's irrelevant
I'm not saying McDonalds is cheap. I'm saying McDonalds is cheaper than the healthy alternative. Not to mention that Fast food and all that sugary crap makes you addicted for more. Get your head out of McDonald's ass and stop projecting so much.
nah, a can of beans is like 59 cents and a 5 pound bag of rice is like 3 dollars. The problem is placementof said food in the stores. Why do we need 3 aisles of potato chips, but the cans of beans and corn sit with the rice on the bottom shelf in the corner of the "International foods" section
>a can of beans
Eating a can of beans or plain rice isn't healthy. You need way more than that to satisfy your body's nutritional needs through healthy fats and other vitamins found in meat, fish, vegetables and fruits.
>Why do we need 3 aisles of potato chips, but the cans of beans and corn sit with the rice on the bottom shelf in the corner of the "International foods" section
That's just the free market giving you the illusion of having a choice despite most of these being created in the cheapest and most often worst way the law allows.
>Eating a can of beans or plain rice isn't healthy
lol
Might wanna read the next sentence and get the full context here, champ.
noone is saying only eat beans and rice, but JUST beans and rice is a lot frickin healthier than freezer corndogs
Sure but I think you can agree that the majority of people also would like to eat something healthy AND tasty. Not just one or the other.
>black beans arent tasty
>chicken and rice arent tasty
I get that shitty food is tastier, but the argument was price. Eggs, oatmeal, rice, black beans are all cheap, throw spam or canned chicken or canned tuna in there and youve got taste and cheap, but no its not as tasty as mac sauce french fries I will concede that
>Now there is chicken as well
You only included rice and beans and no they are still not healthy if you only eat these things. Not to mention the sodium or mercury in all of these canned products you listed. Do you want high blood pressure
Why do Americans simp for companies that poison them even after the realization that they're willingly poisoning them? You see them worship Pfizer, McDonald's, Hershey, Nestle, etc...They're pumped full of HFCS goyslop and not only thank their masters for it but defend them. You have braindead Amerilards ITT full of grease and lard talking about how it's not REALLY bad for you
I'm thankful for this movie cause not long after it came out, the chicken quality in fast food changed for the better here (aus), nothing else changed since we never had super size or w/e.
>eat GOYSLOP
>die
figure it out.
imagine if mcdonalds brought back the supersized menu after this drunk homosexual died, it would have been spectacular
Meh. People should have a choice in whether they want to eat themselves to death or not. He drank himself to it, same difference. No one went after the whiskey companies telling them to lower the alcohol % right?
Why the obsession with McDonald's though? Pizza is way worse for you than burgers.
Pizza is good for you. Nice troll tho
it was a psyop by mcdonalds. they wanted to downsize their portions without backlash, just like the trans fat hysteria was a way for them to switch to less expensive seed oils
Anyone have that webm of totalbuiscits fridge? Avoid that kind of food if you want to live long
Seed oils are the real killer. This dude unironically fricked over everyone
They should make a super Cinemaphile me and watch someone turn into a blob of shit while doing nothing but posting on Cinemaphile for a month. It would make mcdonalds look olympic.
doordash is bringing me TWO breakfast combos from McDonald's right now and it doesn't even cost me anything because I used a credit card
