>There was literally no pushback to this other than one reviewer who watched it with him and noticed Spurlock drank four beers in the span of a 90 minute movie and was drunkenly rambled to in response I still can't get over how all you need to do to eat fast food daily and not suffer is skip the fries and don't drink a fifth of vodka daily.
>>223579694>four beers in the span of a 90 minute movieand?
>I like gummy bears>what if I eat nothing but gummy bears for a month?>what, this is bad for my health? we urgently need reform in the gummy bear industry
>>223579694>gets exposed as an alcoholic fraud with the fat head doc
>>223579694>ameribeasts are unironically enraged by the notion that eating McDonald's isn't good for you
>>223581983Dumb esl poster
>>223579694>we can no longer get super sized fries thanks to this alcoholic dickheadRest in piss asshole.
>>223579694Ebert gave it a thumbs up likely because fast food helped make him morbidly obese and caused his throat cancer which eventually killed him.Demonizing a fast food corporation was cathartic.
>>223581983Rentfree, Ahmed
This was just the leftist crusade at the time.The left goes after whoever has money and power they can take.They noticed the food industry and fast food hadn't been tapped. So they came up with a bunch of bullshit outrage against them, that resulted in a bunch of leftists making a bunch of money.Whenever the left is 'against' something, that is the reason. That is why they are anti AI right now. They want to shake the AI industry down. Same as how they were 'against' fossil fuels (shake the energy industry down) or whatever. They are basically the mafia. If you are making money or have power, and aren't giving leftists their cut, they will come along and organize a campaign to attack you.
>>223583988Yep
>>223583988It was the definition of a grift as they say nowadays
>>223579694>Spurlock claims he will eat a McDonalds for breakfast, lunch, and dinner>Spurlock claims he will eat everything on the menu at least once>Spurlock claims he will only supersize when asked>Spurlock claims this is resulting in him eating 5000 calories a day>No reviewer who loves supersize me and fellates spurlock bothers to look up the calorie count of McDonalds meals>They would realise there is no possible way Spurlock was eating as many calories as he claimed
>>223581983>ameribeasts are unironically enragedWho are you quoting?
>>223581983This was an extremely flawed experiment with nonsensical rules and a control subject that already had chronic health problems, but it was presented as a perfectly healthy man destroyed by one single thing. It was completely wrong. The scene where his doctor tells him his health is terrible is before he even started the experiment, he edited it to make it look like it happened after.
Haven't there been multiple examples of people who lost weight while only eating fast food?
>>223585137Not when you eat French fries with it, that's what's actually bad for you
>>223583988Good morning
>>223585149Wonder if that's due to the type of oil they use.
>>223585137Yes, Fat Head is probably the most notable one
>>223585181There is no way to make fried food healthy regardless of what it is fried in.
>>223585149Soda is far worse
>>223585149I suspect even [a small order of] fries would be good for you.The condiments that you dip the mcnuggets into, on the other hand...
>>223585208What about air frying?
>>223581983it unironically isn't so long as you watch your calories and supplement it with some fruits and veggies for vitamins.
>>223579694>there was no pushbackbut there was pushback
i quit maccas for two cheap macca years because of this lying alco grifter ginger faggit, i will never trust a fast food hating former mtv exec ever again
>>223583988>That is why they are anti AI right nowWe already know what they are after thanks to WGA strike - writers don't want to ban AI, they just want the union to have exclusive access to AI written scripts.
>>223584837Who cares? McDonald’s isn’t good for you.
>>223583988i remember Michelle Obama ruining school lunches because she wanted them to be "healthy". It was such a stupid time, and now kids are fatter than ever
>>223585977I'll decide what's good for me you neobolshevik reddit tranny.
>>223581983any food is fine as long as you watch your tdee and get the proper amount of fruits and veggies which mcd and other fast food places usually dont have. some nuts and big healthy dose of natural granola in the morning for fiber will make you feel amazing too. Honestly, a spicy mccrispy, take off half the bun, smother it in the sauce and some cheese, have some apple slices or a salad on the side and some water (or a zero cal soda if you just have to), and mcd really isnt a bad choice for lunch
>>223579694On one hand this guy was a complete fucking fraud. On the other it's kinda funny that once upon a time a random asshole (astroturfed by more influentual people, but still a random asshole on his own) could just make shit up and cause enormous PR damage to a major corporation from which it hasn't recovered to this day.
>>223585977So is oxygen. It's a carcinogen, you know.
>>223580028Everyone knows you can’t eat just candy and the candy industry doesn’t pretend it’s food. shit you let a kid eat as much candy as they want and they immediately learn not to do that ever again.
>>223584837except he didn’t have any “chronic health problems” before the month of McDonald’s and it ultimately resulted in him dying before 60
This doc really triggered fatties huh.
>>223584207Calorie counts weren’t punished when the documentary came out. They only published calorie counts after they changed all the portion sizes and recipes after the documentary dropped.
>>223586437If you get fat by eating fast food you're probably just a lazy bum
>>223585208Olive oil is healthy.
>>223586068enjoy your chalk enhanced spoiled milk
>>223585977McD is slop but you can do a lot worse. Hell, the documentary got them to switch from tallow to sneed oils which is even worse for your body
>>223586216>proper amount of fruits and veggiesWhy do you always word it so faggoty?
>>223585977I'd rather eat at Mcdonalds than at some Asian or Jeet restaurant which always makes me feel sick
>>223586487They switched to hydrogenated seed oils (which they themselves needed to lobby to be considered food) before the documentary. It being cheaper than tallow (because it wasn’t considered food until they lobbied for it to be considered food) is why supersize happened.
>>223586545Do not refute me again.
>>223586574It will happen again.
>>223579694>there was literally no pushback to thisYes, there was https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0EIAN1YcEUIAmericans are generally retarded tho
>>223586590wtf.....
>>223581983When you're shown this doc 5 separate times in school then yeah, I think people are going to start being annoyed at the legitimacy of the experiment. It's really hilarious how food was the first step into having political opinions for some children at this time, like >>223586004 said.
>>223584207Not even McDonald's disagreed with those numbers, you dunce.https://web.archive.org/web/20071012135323/http://mcdonalds.co.uk/pages/global/supersize.html
Isn't the quality of fast food also worse in America than in most other countries?
>>223586669Yes, but it tastes better (in fast food adjusted terms).
>>223586649There’s nothing political about food not being toxic.
>>223586669yes. Most countries don’t allow their food regulatory bodies to be lobbied.
>>223586703Spurlock and his wife were vegan. If you don't think that was even a minor reasoning to get this doc out then you're stupid. The Michelle Obama thing was literally a signed law. It's inherently political. You are a mouth breathing dipshit.
>>223579878Anon he himself admitted he drank heavily during the film.
>>223579694Question: Why is this getting spammed almost daily for a year now? Which YouTuber made a 2 hour video essay about it?
>>223586769>people who eat healthy take a stand against unhealthy (and actually toxic) food >DAS POLICIS!
>>223586833They want change to happen, they want policy to change. It is political.I'm sure you love the "everything is political" line until it doesn't work for your shitty argument you BlueCry faggot.
>mcd for lunch>just a grill chicken burger with lettuce and 2 slices of tomato >A small fries and ice green teaIf even you switch out the buns for 2 slice of bread, this meal has nothing you can claim to be unhealthy.
>>223586449They weren’t publicly available in flyers. They were absolutely published, anyone could get them. You think McDonald’s just started publishing the caloric content of their food in the 2,000s????? It’s required by law. Stop just reading shit online without questioning it.
>Because he only wanted to eat McDonald's food, Spurlock refused to take any medication at all.Boy I wonder if suddenly cutting out any and all medication your body might be used to might play a role in you feeling shitty.>>223586665Yeah, a defensive statement just after the movies release based entirely off Spurcocks claim means nothing. He never published what his actual intake was.
>>223586798Then why didn’t he have any health problems associated with alcoholism? oh? Is it because he wasn’t drinking and you treat a drunken off-hand tweet as gospel truth? Something you didn’t start pushing until after he was dead because you were afraid he’d prove he wasn’t drinking at the time?
>>223586330You are being disingenuous.
>>223586848Anon. Wanting the FDA to not just change policies based on the whims of the highest bidder isn’t political. Wanting a functional government isn’t politics.
>>223586938>Wanting a functional government isn’t politics.This is BlueCry education at it's peak.
>>223586487>the documentary got them to switch from tallow to sneed oils which is even worse for your bodyThat happened in the early 90’s.
>>223586804he died and some fatass angry he can’t get 5000 calories for $5 anymore thought “this is my moment.”
>>223579694He never released his raw data either, that's always a red flag
>>223586881It’s required by law now, as a result of supersize me.
>>223586951Politics happens after you have a functional government.
>>223586917>Then why didn’t he have any health problems associated with alcoholism?Other than the liver damage the doctor specifically discusses with him and is amazed at how it seemingly came out of nowhere?>Is it because he wasn’t drinking and you treat a drunken off-hand tweet as gospel truth?When someone says they've been a alcoholic for 30 years, I'm tempted to believe them>Something you didn’t start pushing until after he was dead because you were afraid he’d prove he wasn’t drinking at the time?You got me, I was quaking in my boots that he'd kick down by door and prove (somehow) he didn't drink for a month period 20 years ago.
>>223586917>uh yeah dude who cares that he himself said he wasn't sober for even a week for 30 years and that he had been drinking since age 13 uhhh yeah there was no alcoholism so uhhh yeah try to explain that
>>223586979He didn’t have any liver damage at the start of the documentary.
>>223586995Anon why didn’t you take this up with him while he was still alive? Oh, it’s because you were afraid of being refuted by him, himself.
>>223586954Kek, always trust in fatties to hold a grudge.
>>223586501because i fuck boys on the reg
>>223586278Only because he got propped up by the entire Machine. See >>223583988. Notice how nobody heard of any of the rebuttals, yet this was shown in every highschool for years after?
>>223587679Because none of the rebuttals held any weight.
>>223587746Bull shit. Some guy eating fast food every day for 20 years is just as much weight as this garbage held. It got propped up for the same reason global warming movies saying we would all be underwater by 2015 got propped up and none of their rebuttals were.
god i miss drinking
>>223587881He only ate the big mac. spurlock eats the entire menu. the big mac has undergone the least revisions of any of their "food."the guy also looks like the physical embodiment of processed food in how he only vaguely resembles a human being.
>>223587001Yes he did. He was an alcoholic.
>>223587746Yes they did. That’s why the film is now discredited and talked about as a propaganda tool than an educational one.
>>223588055Whether or not the Big Mac had the most revisions is of no relevance whatsoever, nor is the appearance of someone proving you wrong. You are desperate to defend the words of a charlatan
Morgan Spurlock has a crazy wikipedia
>>223588504>>223586545>They switched to hydrogenated seed oils (which they themselves needed to lobby to be considered food) before the documentary. It being cheaper than tallow (because it wasn’t considered food until they lobbied for it to be considered food) is why supersize happened.every time mcdonalds has "revised" their recipies its to replace expensive food products with cheaper non-food additives they lobbied to be considered food. So yes, "revisions" are entirely relevant. Not even mentioning how mcdonalds revised their entire menu and portion sizes in response to supersize me.
>>223588449The doctor directly states he has no health issues at the start of the documentary. Furthermore, even if you want to pretend the documentary was completely fraudulent because you're mad your slop doesn't cost $.001 per calorie anymore, people can (and quite frequently do) drink every day of their lives and suffer no adverse health effects.
>>223588481The film isn’t discredited at all though. If anything it’s been vindicated over time as we learned how toxic hydrogenated seed oils are. Oils McDonald’s immediately stopped using in response to the documentary.
