  If you eat too much of anything it will be bad for you. I could eat nothing but McDonalds for a month and either stay the same weight or loose weight if I wanted to. And I'm not talking about eating off there healthy menu. If you eat 5 times a day, all small meals, you can pretty much eat what ever you want.

  How would you go about putting just maybe the first 10 minutes of this film in a powerpoint presentation if you do not have the video clip saved to your computer? This would make great material for my nutrition class.

  Sigh. A calorie is the ammount of enery it to raise the temperature of 1mL of water 1 kelvin, and a Calorie (the difference the capital C) is really a kCal. Her defination was not very clear. His girlfriend was driving me nuts with her obsession with organic foods holding what seemed to be a kindof religious zealotry. Of course you're going to go through pain, have health issues, etc. when you drasticly change your diet. I went from home-cooked meals to military food (which is much worse) and my stomach was torn up for over a month before it got used to it. What was this guy's diet before he started the McDumpsters diet? It didn't give the "other side" a fair shake at all. They gave Reason perhaps 2 minutes on a very limited scope of the issue. Reason is a good site, and I'm sure he would have provided more useful information. The entire documentry tried to pin the blame on the food industry. In every section it was victim vs. food industry setup. They used the same rhetoric that has been used for years: think about the children. Its not an arguement, its an appeal to emotion. Then after they think they've established the food industry as the bad guys, they present their main arguement. At this point, its easy to discredit whatever they say, because the audience already dislikes them. Its hillarious that they blame the food industry for these foods. I wonder if they realize that the so-called organic label has a broad defination (the same way a strawberry flavor can be considered natural if he was obtained from a bacteria) has tricked them into wasting more money on a product thats not any better.

  At the end of the film Spurlock asks "who do you want to see go first, you or them", and then he shows a tombstone for McDonalds. The years on the tombstone are 1954 to 2012. Why would Spurlock pick 2012 as the year of death for McDonalds ?

  I have to admit, this documentary was really interesting. My brother had to watch this for one of his college classes and he suggested it for me. This makes me never want to eat McDonalds again. My opinion is you should never eat it. It's slow suicide. -Nicole

  This was a very good documentary! I have to write a paper on it. I read 1/4 of the comments and got sick of seeing people say things like "I can do whatever the hell I wanna do!" or "This is BS, there is no proof this is real.". THE FREAKING POINT IS: IF YOU EAT TOO MUCH OF FAST FOOD YOU WILL END UP KILLING YOURSELF! It doesn't matter if you have a heart or liver disease in you family! AND I've been through what he did, I was having the same problems (except for the heart risk) and had to go to the hospital. I stop my habit after 1 week then went to start losing weight. It's a hassle at first. I went from 358 lbs. to 165 lbs. Don't say that this is a crap-load of BS! You have your oppinions! "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it at all." is what my mom used to say! Fast food an epidemic which will replace tobacco and alchohol! This was a very good movie. Very much enjoyed! :) -Micah

  @ Eric Most Fast foods are still bad and have negative effects on health. There are many researches done on that. Sure, Spurlock may have been a bit unfair to the fast food chain by not exercising but he was trying to give the fast food chain (in general) a bad impression- something of which they totally deserve. "It just re-proves the hypothesis that if you radically change your diet and stop exercising altogether, your health suffers." So, are you saying that if an obese young adult starts eating healthy foods (such as vegetables, etc.) and abandons the unhealthy foods he always eats (i.e. chips, grilled meat burgers, etc.) his health will suffer? the huge change may effect his stomach in the first few days, but it's all uphill from there! In this case, his health won't suffer. Fix your 'hypothesis'.

• Posted 12/18/10 by Frank
  I agree with the majority of the commenter's and the producer's own comments that this film was extreme. Still, it certainly is a wakeup call. Although, moderation is the key word, if I were to eliminate fast foods completely and eat only foods moderate in fats, low in salt and sugar these types of medical problems would not occur. So even in moderation, we have to be cautious about what we eat at all times. Thanks for the effort in making a great film.
• Posted 11/27/10 by Eric
  Yeah, I'm calling BS on this movie. The man was a vegan who exercised regularly before attempting his "experiment." He then (1)stopped exercising entirely and radically changed both (2)the content and (3)the volume of his diet. Not surprisingly, this had adverse effects on his health. Nothing about this movie proves anything bad about McDonalds. It just re-proves the hypothesis that if you radically change your diet and stop exercising altogether, your health suffers.

  @wrathster: Correct. McDonald's offers healthy [healthier anyway] chocies on their menu... today. At the time of this movie, however, they didn't offer much besides cheeseburgers and french fries. In large part, because of this movie, McDonald's no longer offers super sized french fries or sodas and they offer salads and fruit-yogurt parfaits and chicken wraps.

  Dumbest thing Ive ever heard of! It dont matter if you go to the supermarket or out to eat, if you dont eat healthy foods what do exspect to happen? You can go to Mc Donalds all month long,Doest mean you have to get the double Quarter Pounder everytime,They also sell salad! To put the blame on them because one doesnt care enough about thier own health to watch what they eat just isnt right. What about Pizza Hut, BurgerKing KFC etc etc super markets included! Because you can get the same kind of foods from there as well,So if you buy junk foods from the supermarket, is it thier fault because you wont buy healthy foods? Please! Man up for God sakes and use common sense,We should all know by now too much of anything can be bad for you.You can buy a case of beer,does that mean you have to drink them all in a night?Bad thing is there is some dumb ### out there saying YES!Time to stop blaming others and start taking responsibilty for the choices YOU make.No one makes you buy it,you choose to.If they tried to make it a law that you could only buy one Quarter Pounder a month, Most people would ##### that its thier right to be able to buy as many as they want ,when they want.Which in my mind is the way its suppose to be, But with that right of Freedom of Choice, comes the responsibity to know when to say no thx, I`ll have the salad tonight.

  After reading "Protocols of Zion" and the "Talmud" along with observing the America destroying actions of AIPAC, the SPLC, ADL, the zionist owned media and Federal Reserve Bank, we are close to transitioning from Republic to satellite of zionist led "world government". To control us, zionists prefer that our IQ's are significantly lowered, that we're fat & out of shape, our males feminized, our morals polluted, our wages and standard of living wrecked...resulting in a vicious divide between the super rich vs. masses of impoverished slaves. Rockefeller and Rothschilds sure weren't kidding when they told us back in the 70's that they embrace the "Chinese model" of running things. Guys like Ted Turner want the masses killed leaving only remnant of humanity to service the big shots.

  At approx. 1 hour and 23 minutes the lobbyist begins to repeatedly look up to his right and shake his head side to side in the no mannerism common in the US while trying to make positive affirmations. I paid attention to this because today I was told people will look up and to the right when they are thinking creatively, as in making up a lie, and down to the left when recalling a fact. My scientific verification of this is lacking but it is an interesting theory. The alternative school program in Wisconsin offers pragmatic examples as well, if they can feed hungry teens wholesome food for the same price as junk why doesn't everyone eat this way? My nieces cried when my Brother, thier step-dad brought home romaine lettuce instead of iceberg. They had never seen any lettuce that wasn't white, especially at school or Pizza hut where their mum and my Brother worked. As to McDonaldization of America, it is sometimes easier to choose a $1 mcdouble than to make a hamburger with organic grass fed beef and a multigrain bun. If you are wise you don't have to go broke eating well though, today the 7 grain bread and chicken sandwich with the bowl of Kashi hi protein cereal and store brand soymilk I ate to mitigate the junk I had for lunch because I over slept cost roughly $2, the same price as the coke and mcChicken I had earlier. Healthy food is more filling and gives the body more energy for less calories. Grow your own vegetables and make friends with people who do, and get veggies for almost free like the eggplant I will later be frying up in olive oil for late supper. The elephant in the room is definitely that people think organics are too expensive. On the pocket book in the short run they often are. I went to buy my 7grain bread from the freezer section and was taken aback at the price of $5.87 for a single serving frozen dinner of chicken teriyaki with rice and vegetables. My hearty sandwich of chicken with the coarse rich bread was $1 to make and more filling than white rice that was in the frozen meal. If more manufacturers followed the example of Full Circle brand organics with its reasonable value more people would buy organic goods.

  Poorly produced documentary with many flaws. Firstly Spurlock's calorie and fat counts don't add up and Spurlock's refusal to publish the Super Size Me food log. Thirdly there is no data that proves people are eating McDonald three times a day. Also the finding in the film would are common sense, if you consume anything in larges amounts it will be harmful. The last fact its always much are easier to blame someone else's for your problems then the take credit for your own mistakes. For instants : Professor James Painter, chair of Eastern Illinois University's School of Family and Consumer Sciences, made the documentary Portion Size Me. The film follows two graduate students, one a 254-pound male and the other a 108-pound female, as they ate a fast-food diet for a month but in portions appropriate for their size. Both students lost weight and their cholesterol improved by the end of the experimen

  Government has an obligation to inform and protect the public. Unfortunately, government first and foremost looks out for industry. Our legislators are endlessly pressured by slick lobbyists and are the recipients of billions of dollars in corporate campaign funds. (It will get much worse with the latest supreme court ruling on corporate campaign funds.) As we can see in “Supersize”, the average person doesn't even know what a calorie is. In poor neighborhoods you can’t find grocery stores (or fresh produce), but fast-food joints are everywhere. Does poverty and ignorance make it okay for corporate America to addict and poison its citizens, especially children?
• Posted 06/14/10 by Maestro Sierra
  To Kurt, Everyone knows that the fattest/ over-consuming people on the planet are conservatives. Also Hitler wasn't a liberal, but a conservative. "It isn’t McDonald’s fault that people are fat unless they are secretly adding some sort of addictive ingredient to their food that makes people uncontrollably crave more." Seriously, what planet are you from? Yes, food companies are adding tons of hormones, antibiotics and additives to increase the flavor and the cravings for that particular food. That's how they make their money. Increase the cravings, increase the demand, thus increase their profits. "Super Size Me" doesn't go into great detail on this but "Killer At Large" does. Do some thorough research and observations before posting. Anyways... I love this documentary. Though I don't love it as much as I do with "Killer At Large", it's a great introduction documentary on the topic. I just wish Spurlock went into discussion how government subsidizes food and forces farmers to grow more corn that are later processed and thus ends up in everything that we eat, including the meats (the animals eat this process corn). People need to understand that the foods, even the so-called healthy ones aren't as good as we like to think. We have been disconnected to our food source. I don't like to blame anyone or anything, but I think the "epidemic" has something to do with this disconnect. I found out, from my own experience, the closer I am with my food source the healthier I am (lighter too, 116 ibs), whereas the further I am (more likely to being exposed to additives and hormones) the sicker and heavier (130) I get. I concluded it was the food, because I don't exercise at all, yet the I closer I was to my food resource the lighter I was and when I was far away from it the heavier I got. I also noticed that the foods that were transported (additives and hormone pumped)I would get hungry again in just an hour later, whereas the healthy foods that were local I would feel fuller longer. Again not to blame anyone, but something is seriously going on with our food in the high end super markets, even the healthy ones. Even if people changed their habits and ate only the healthy kind of foods, they would still be exposed to unhealthy substances. People ought to, whenever possible, buy from local farmers. I know it can be difficult but not impossible. Plus local is cheaper (6 apples = $1). Thanks for loading this video up and blessed be

• Posted 02/16/10 by Graham
  Yes fresh healthy food costs more than fast food, but when you buy that freash, healthy food, you can make alot more meals with it. If you buy the healthy raw foods and make a meal at home, you're probably going to have leftovers. You can make 25 servings of chicken soup on a Sunday afternoon, and freeze it in individual containers, all for about $1 per serving. It's a lot up front, but you KNOW what you are eating, you KNOW that it's healthy.
• Posted 02/15/10 by Sam
  Chloe - Don't mind the pun here but you are " OUT TO LUNCH" on this. Corporations have a responsibility to make sure consumers are aware of the effects of their products and the health hazards. Science has proven that these types of products are not healthy - period. All Fast food corps have prayed upon people being misinformed about the effects of this type of food along with the marketing machine that shoves it down our throats at every flip of the TV channel. Slowly there is a change happening with more people becoming aware of what they are eating and hopefully our schools will help change the way children learn to eat because old habits die hard and we can't rely on the majority of parents to learn better habits. Its films like this that are needed more since we are being FED a pack of lies about our health!

  To say that the people who eat this food have a choice and are not forced to is to ignore the facts. Fresh healthy food costs more than fast food. So your ability to enjoy food that will not effect your health is directly connected to your income. Poor people eat fast food because it's cheep and easy. After working 40-60 hour weeks, would you want to have to cook? It is also interesting that the higher the caloric content of a food the less it costs? Calories are essentially ENERGY. So how can fast food, with calories in excess of 1000s be less than foods with lower calories cost more? What if this was applied to gas? Also the government is not here to enforce anything but the rights of the people. Are taxes a right? These movies are a bunch of lies packed together so tightly that people believe they are truth? Take a look around you . . . the government wants us to be so overwhelmed that we can't see the light at the end of the tunnel. The medical facts in the film were true. But maybe you should so this experiment for yourself and see where it gets you?

  When free healthy food costs more than fast food, if you're poor, you're obviously going to make choices based on budget. To claim that "they are not forced" to do it is an illogical argument. Did you know that the more calories an item has the less it costs to the public? Does that make any sense?

  Emilia, Amber: Please! Have mercy!! Have you NEVER been influenced to do something you know is risky/you shouldn't do? The fast food industry has spent millions of dollars to withhold and obfuscate information about how health-damaging their food is while they promote fast food addiction in children. Is it any wonder that many people don't fully understand what fast food can and will do to their health? Think of this: Since it would cost the same if McDonald's served good, clean healthy food - why don't they do it? I can't answer that question. Can you? They certainly could phase it in. And I don't mean "salads" that have more fat than a Big Mac! On the other hand, Emilia and Amber, you are free to choose to believe what you want to believe. By the way, how is YOUR health?

  OMG!!!!!!!!There is no coporate power. Please stop with lies. Oh come on McDonalds is not at fault here. It's the lazy asses who CHOSE to continue to eat only unhealthy foods. OH don’t forget EXERCISE!!!! My form of exercising is dancing NOT PROFESSIONAL just moving to music longer than 30 min or more and more than twice a day. WALK, WALK, WALK get off your fat ### and move. I love McDonalds, but LOVE spinach salads more. I love Chic-fil-A, but LOVE fish and salmon (everyday if I could) My son would second this choice. I love meat lovers Pizza Hut pizza, but really LOVE my homemade spinach pizza. I LOVE FRUITS lots of it. I love NUTS. I don't like sodas. And please greed (greedy) is a choice, you don’t need the super size because it there or it’s offered. If I choose to eat out I eat the appetizers most of the time because it’s smaller also it depends on the place. The truth is I love to cook……….. and I really, really, really, love my own cooking and so does my family. Remember choice WE (not the fast food places) WE (the ones stuffing our faces) all have to make the healthier choice more often.

  Typical liberals: blame the government, corporations, and capitalism for "enslaving" people and forcing them to eat fast food. You just can never take responsibility for your own actions. Always blame someone else. Kind of like Hitler did. It isn't McDonald's fault that people are fat unless they are secretly adding some sort of addictive ingredient to their food that makes people uncontrollably crave more. Grow up you stupid liberals and start taking responsiblity for your own pathetic lives.

  That was really good! Fat people are NOT to blame. These big corporations lure them in and make them faties. But people need to get the hell out of McDonalds and other fast food places. I know the corps are a biz, but they lie and trick people. That is totally NOT what a biz does! Corps have to stop lying and chose one of the following things that they should do: a) be transparent and tell people the honest truth b) make your food healthier, so it doesn't kill people c) all of the above The correct answer is c, but the other ones would be perfectly fine also.

  seriously such a great movie. i knew mcdonalds was bad for you but i didn't realize the government and even school food companies were in on it and only in it to make money. i should have known though. the big reasons most people eat stuff like mcdonalds all the time are a.) its usually only 5 mins away from them b.) its already made c.) it's cheaper than buying everything at specialty organic stores and way faster than cooking your own meal that you probably haven't tried cooking before. d.) you have that craving for chicken mcnuggets or whatever thats been there since the first time you ate them as a child. ugh its so ###### up..i wonder if people raised on farms with only homecooked meals to eat growing up succumb to eating mcdonalds/other fast food. this movie just makes me want to cook a homecooked meal. mmmm.

  WOW! It took 14 months to repair the damage one month of McDonalds did to his body! I think from now on I'll be indulging in an age-old tradition of cooking from scratch with fresh food! I knew that fast food was bad for you, but I had no idea it could toxify your liver that badly! If his girlfriend wants him to eat healthy, but he doesn't want to be vegan, then she could get grass-fed organic beef, organic cheese, organic tomatos, organic pickles, organic onions, organic ketchup, organic mustard, & organic whole grain wheat buns and make him an organic cheese-burger - now that's some delicious food right there!!

  "Are you eating to live or living to eat?" Just boycotting fast food places won't miraculously make you a healthy individual. A very important notion to consider is: Eat mindfully! Always know what goes in your body. Do research, the information is out there. Consult dietitians and ask how you can eat based upon you caloric intake.

  I watched Super Size Me after watching the documentary King Corn. These are two films everyone in America should watch. Highschools should definitely provide these as part of the curriculum. My family and I are quite healthy. We try to stay away from products containing High Fructose Corn Syrup, consume red meat sparingly, and buy organic when possible. After viewing these films I'll be taking extra measures to promote my families well being. I'm so grateful for the knowledge these films have to offer. I recently joined in the fight against McDonalds offering free Happy Meals to students who receive good report cards in school. Some of these free Happy Meal tickets were actually printed on the back of the report cards. The reality that our government is promoting a society of fat, dumb, and "happy" people sickens me. I worry about the wellbeing of my three beautiful children. I'll be telling everyone that I can about these films. The truth will set us free!

  you wonder if Mcdonalds saw this movie and if it changed things, I would certainly believe that they changed there menu to draw you back in to eat at mcdonalds. After people saw this movie I think they will rethink the food they eat a little better than before , I hope. Some people wont care though, just like people who smoke and cant quit, the people who believe its ok to eat a salad at mcdonalds and the calories are less than other menu items are sadly mistaken again. See they got people to come back and eat anyway. You have to remember one thing IT'S ALL ABOUT THE MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They could not care less about the peoples well being, it's about how much MONEY were going to make. save yourself from harm, eat at home.

  I've been wanting to watch this, and I am glad I did. I already try to eat heavy (I don't exercise at all either), and I have been an on-the-go American myself. While I didn't get "obese," I did notice a lot of the symptoms, like fatigue and depression, and chest aches and pressure, drop down dramatically. I still had no clue that eating fast food could be so dangerous. It's great that he cared enough to take the challenge. I effortlessly keep my weight by eating sugars, sweets, beef, veggies, and juice (mostly organic). I haven't lowered my intake, just selected different foods (organic, at home cooked or homemade when possible from the grocery, NO SODAS other than on occasion) and the change was obvious. This movie should be part of our children's school curriculum, as well as other "infomercials", books, and programs that would inform our young generation of what a calorie, and saturated fat, and minerals etc are (was shocked to see how many people didn't know this elementary information). Through years of societal conditioning through education, maybe Pavlov's theory will kick in and the nation will inadvertently boycott merchandises who don't live up to an unharmful food standard.

  He did exercise based on what the average American exercises.. which it alomst none, which makes it even more accurate for normal non-exercising on-the-go Americans.

  A little flawed in that he should have kept his same exercise routine that he was doing before the 30 day binge. Not a very scientific study at all.

  Why is this referring to AOL Video ? Dissapointing.
