Spurlock's movie was simply a way to illustrate the lie. Though I think the whole "Supersize Me" project was a dumb thing for him to do to himself, I do have to give the guy credit for being willing to be his own guinea pig. [addendum to Jon's...]

But as I understand it, MacD and others of its ilk have become the main sources of food for very significant numbers of people who don't have a lot of money, and whose neighbourhoods offer little, if anything, in the way of alternatives. So they almost <i>have</i> to eat fast food stuff. And they get sick. And fat. <i>Very</i> fat. Cheers! @ EPiPH0N3:

Morgan Spurlock is a douche bag...Stating the obvious with obvious methods is not 'science'. Yeah, if you eat fast food for every meal.....you're gonna get sick....duh. The things people fall for this days and how lazy they've become. Everybody wants to blame the corps for all their troubles instead of taking the responsibilty for themselves(sp?). What a joke. 1.
