That's one small step for Americans. It's just another corrupt institution in the Land of Freedom.
What made me so upset about Supsersize Me was that it was a big fat finger pointing at McDonalds. So many restaurants and companies lure youth with prizes and games to eat their shitty food. Kids menus at restaurants are full of foods loaded with nitrates and fat. Red Robin offers bottomless fries and has an arcade, there's Chuck E Cheese, Kids Meal Frozen dinners (which offer nothing of nutritional value), cereals loaded with sugar and free prizes, cartoon networks, Nick, and Disney channels market the absolute worst food to children. If you look in the grocery store almost all the lunch pack foods for kids are utter shit.
But everyone's really hating on McDonalds. I actually admire the company for being willing to change to adapt to their customers wishes, and respect their concerns by offering healthier options now, removing the supersize option, and changing their marketing (which could have been because of Supersize Me, but I remember them bringing in the healthier options long before the movie...but I dunno if thats the sole reason or not). I wish other companies would take note of McDonalds ability to transform as the times change.
Ousted Reviewed by Ousted on . Poll: How many of you eat Fast food? Not me, but i'm interested in seeing how many of you eat fast food. I don't eat it for the obvious reason, it's bad for you. Pretty much everything McDonalds sells, is chemical altered food, meat that's pumped with steroids, and ketchup that's mainly sugar. But there's another reason. The hell those animals go through is unbelievable. Rating: 5
