For those who haven’t heard of it:

A guy, a very, very fit guy, eats nothing but McDonald’s for 30 days. Within 2 weeks it actually POISINS him. His liver starts to fail: his liver chemistries go completely haywire. At one point they flash to his later lab tests and there are at least a dozen abnormals – prior to that, 3 doctors and an exercise physiologist pronounced him extraordinarily fit and healthy.

It’s astounding – the food actually is toxic – treats his liver like benzene would.

He shows passages during the movie from a McDonald’s court filing where they say, several times, that their food is bad for you – they plainly say you shouldn’t consume their product!

This is a must see – if only for it’s view of American culture.

Before you think this rave review is coming from a vegan Wayne’s size let me make one thing very clear – I’d have to lose 100 pounds to get the lead in The Jackie Gleason Story . No shit.

I eat this kind of crap all the time and I know that there’s only one way to get to be a fat bastard, you have to eat like a fat bastard. The point is that given my personal positive bias toward eating crap as a matter of course, I still find the story not only amazing but completely credible.

I'm sure fast food isn't much good for me, but I like it anyway. I wish there were more of 'em like Sonic, where you drove in and they brought it to your car.

Other must-see documentary is "The Corporation". I was amazed.
Though The Corporation is not in the video stores like Supersize Me,
you will never see big business the same again.

This show has been running in theaters longer than Fahrenheit 911.

It just came onto dvd after a theater run of a year-- April to April.

From one crap eating fat bastard to another.

In UK a similar situation-schools providing lunch for little kids, but not fruit and sandwiches but those fake foods,lollies and chips everyday,obesity in kids rising so their quickly changing over to the more expensive food caterers!

Here in NZ no state funded food in schools,but parents choose crap food alot of the time!
