This was the worst documentary I've ever seen. The guy's an idiot. He was eating 5000 calories a day. At his bodyweight, you could eat 5000 calories of ANYTHING and you would gain the same amount of weight. Are people honestly this clueless about nutrition and the human body that they need a 2 hour special to show them this? You could eat 5000 calories worth of boneless, skinless chicken breast and you would gain just as much weight.

He ate shitty food, 5k in calories worth a day, didn't exersise at all, and he gained weight and had other health issues. What's the big fucking suprise?

hmm tadaa, there's more to it than that.

He did it to show people just how unhealthy it was to eat fast food on a normal basis. I highly doubt that eating 5,000 calories of boneless chicken will give someone all those complications with his liver like the fast food did. Chicken doesn't contain that insane amount of salt in most of mcdonald's food.

lol, always a downer huh.

The problems with his body were due to rapid weight gain, that causes all kinds of health issues. You can't get a bad liver in 30 days, lol, are you kidding me? If your liver was that easy to ruin if you got drunk a few times you'd have to have a transplant.

Eating foods rich in sodium isn't going to take a huge toll on your body after only 30 days. However, gaining 15lbs or however much he did with no exersise will.

well combining all that salt with the weight gain is what caused him problems, yes, but still, eating healthier food and gaining all that weight would still leave him in a better state of health than eating fast food.

he's be fat either way though.

I just never understood what the big suprise was, where's the revelation? He had a horrible diet consisting of only fast food and an average of 5000 calories a day, and he gained weight. Ok, where's the big suprise? Fast food isn't the greatest choice of food, noooo way? Gee, I thought it was great for your, especially eating it all day long. This movie shows how dumb most of the public is.

He did walk for exercise. He was a New Yorker and explained how how much the average New Yorker walks. But, I didn't pay enough attention to know if he did. I didn't pay attention until I saw his eyes when he was talking to the doctor, near Day 21.

I use to consume about 4-5 daily when I was getting most of my protein from chicken, it gets old real quick.

Beachguy - I'm pretty sure he said Texas was the fattest state in America, correct me if I'm wrong.

Tadaa - I don't mean this in a negative way whatsoever, but I think you're missing a few points of the movie. There is not just one, but a few.

I don't know about you, but I was cringing just halfway through the movie and FAR before we knew the effects of McDonalds on his body.

What about him showing kids pictures of Jesus and then Ronald and them ONLY knowing who the latter was?

He's more or less a warrior on a crusade against the evil McDonald tyrant in that movie. It's not just about the effects of the food on your body, but how often people are getting exercise, how obesity is obviously and has been an epidemic, how fast food is becoming more and more easy to get at more affordable prices causing more problems than ever, ect.

Tell me how other movies of this genre and type have showed up in theatres in your town that had such a widespread/largescale effect.

Common sense isn't all that common these days, you need to understand that. Yes it's wrong, yes American shouldn't have to be told what we're doing to our bodies is wrong, but that's the way it is my friend.

We're a dying breed, bro.

Of course, it will get old. It's not real meat. Poor chickens.
