"Supersize Me"

[fumanchu182]

I had a bad experience at MacDonalds this weekend. Fucker at the drive in ruined the order, I go in to get it fixed and the manager tells me that I said it wrong and that his staff didn't get the order wrong...

WRONG CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT, I got his store id number and reported his ass, if anyone lives in Jersey City and goes to the MacDonalds on 440 across from the dmv and pizza hut, tell them to go fuck themselves, go to the one in Bayonne, at least they don't spit in your food.

yeah, definitely an eye-opener. I'd also recommend the "farenheit 9/11" movie as well should it come to your town. Directed by the same guy who did "Bowling for Columbine"

[rewing3]

have not seen any of these movies. I not seen a movie in a while actually. To busy now a days.

Re: "Supersize Me"

I'm a moron and eat poop McMuffins for breakfast. Is it possible to supersize those?

Not sure. But I'll email McDonald's for you and find out. Must be a local delicacy.

that's what i loved on american tv, one companies commercial tearing down another companies product. very entertaining

haha. how about politcal ads

[nbpgt]

I really want to see this, too. The fast food industry is evil, the food is just the icing on the cake as it were.

Not sure about other countries, but over here McDonalds have launched a TV ad campaign against the film.

i don't know if this film is out in Belgium but i do know that it is illegal to do an ad against something.

yeah there's a big commercial war going on between Budweiser and Miller right now....they're great!

ive heard it on the radio & saw print ads but never a tv commercial

In McDonald's Australia's defence they've put together some great arguments against the movie.

For starters the guy is deliberately eating twice his recommended daily calorie intake! And another thing, if you eat anything, say Spaghetti Bolognese, a nice home cooked meal for a month straight of course you're gonna get sick.

McDonald's isn't evil, it's just the excuse fat shits use who can't control their own stomachs.

I think you're missing the other side to the story though.

The fast food industry doesn't just produce shit food - it's all the things put together that lands the Big Mac on your tray, that is the problem. The teenage work force that are exploited, for example.

Read a book called Fast Food Nation, very interesting stuff.

one McD's meal in many cases is almost a day's intake in calores in and of itself!

But the system has gone to shite, and like many others one day will collapse onto itself if changes aren't made.

i now own "Bowling for Columbine" cuz i thought it was such a great documentary. i'm planning on renting "farenheit 9/11" soon. i love the type of controversy michael moore creates. I mean jeez, he got Charlton Heston to get up and walk away in disgust in the comfort of his own home with one little interview.. the guy is great!

Well, Charleton Heston has some sort of ailment (Alzheimer's?), so I feel kind of bad for him because Moore did portray him in a bad way like that at his home. Also, how can you rent Fahrenheit 9/11 when it hasn't even come out in theatres yet?

[Roderik_London]

I liked this movie...but I think the guy just tried to imitate of the "Fast food nation" book by Eric Schlosser, the bestseller form last year, which was far more in depth......(as is most of the times the case with books)

[charm]

It was a pretty good documentary. I've always known fast food was bad for you because its processed food and has very little vitamns. That guy was pretty brave for doing it for about a month, since he was a health freak to begin with. It did quite a bit of damage to his body.

Re: "Supersize Me"

Morgan Spurlock documents his month of eating nothing but McDonald's food. He has to try everything on the menu at least once, and he must super-size his order if asked. He made it . His health went down, His doctors had scared and worried about his future....
THis dude made a point for sure. There is the statistics:
Since 1997, the number supersized adult in the US had doubled!
From 2000, every other newborn baby will develop some type of diabetes in their future life.
Now you think twice, before drive in for a BigMac or to grab a Double-Double.
Actually we shouldn't grab the double-double, just go for the single.
...and by the way,you guys like Supersized chicks??? I dont think so.....

Say no to the fast food....grab an apple instead.

Re: "Supersize Me"

I saw this about a week ago at my girlfriend's house. If you watch it on DVD go to the extra scenes section...he does this experiment with burgers, a chicken sandwich, and Mickey D's fries...puts 'em all in separate jars and lets them sit for 4 months (I think it was 4)....everything but the fries were molding and liquifying...the fries remained the same...I'm sure they were hard as a rock but it makes you wonder what the hell they do to your body...YUMMY!!!

[Digger]

i saw the movie and im actually stop eating fast food for a while since then
