    McDonald's was easy to give up....now Taco Bell is a different story, NEVER!

    agree.

    Welcome to 10 years ago!
    I haven't ever cared for McDonalds. But of couse I found it to be quite biased as most food docs are.

    I quit eating so much at McDonalds after seeing that. Taco Bell and KFC are my go to places now. :bigsmile:

    lol...yeah they're on much higher levels than McD's. (sarcasm) (hoping quoted poster is full of sarcasm, too)


    Hand me a Big Mac and let's move on.

    It was very bias, manipulative, and deceptive... But when you're selling a concept people already want to believe in, you'll almost always get positive reviews.


    You nailed it

    I assume the same people who watched Super Size Me and have since then boycotted McDonalds have also followed the professor who went on the Twinkie diet and are now eating nothing but Hostess and Little Debbies...I mean, it's only fair, right?

    That's my problem with this. He ate the worst possible choices on a fast food menu three times a day for a month. Why is this a documentary? Are people actually surprised by the results???

    It's not so much that either, it's the fact that he was in shape, knew how to exercise, and yet, he neglected to keep his calorie burn even close to his intake. Anyone can go anywhere, including eating "healthy" at home and gain weight. Trust me...it's not all that difficult.

    Absolutely!

    I just can't get past all the people "shocked" by his results. SMH

    I just remembered that Simpsons episode, where the woman comes into the house to sell them baby safety devices?

    She spends 15mins trying to open something she finds under the sink, and they're all shocked when they realise Maggie could've ended up eating it (turns out to be baby formula).

    I watched the first two episodes of American Horror Story last night. That kept me entertained while I had toast and cheese whiz.

    I actually really like Morgan Spurlock and a lot of the work he does.
    Expecially a show that was on TV a while back. 30 days.

    That said.. I wasn't a fan of Supersize me at all.
