Being in a mid-2000s High School Health class and they show you this on DVD
Didn’t that turn out to be a load of bullshit that no-one can replicate the results of to this day?
Yep! His results were faked, and the entire film was basically anti-McDonald’s scaremongering, “poor people are stupid” and “fat people don’t get any sex”. It’s also thanks to this asshat that McDonald’s can’t advertise fuckin’ Happy Meals anymore and had to get rid of all their characters and their super size option, particularly because he claimed without evidence that they have a kid-fattening agenda, don’t list their nutritional info anywhere and have a mission statement from their CEO to make people sick and unhealthy from eating there for every single meal. On top of this, he actually tried to claim in a bonus experiment that McDonald’s fries aren’t actually fries because they don’t rot when left in an airtight container for a long time but all the burgers do–which is thanks to the oil and salt they’re loaded with, not some big conspiracy where the fries, which are processed and supplied by McCain in Canada, aren’t actually goddamn chopped potatoes–and equated the containers to a human stomach. Yes, cause the human stomach is an airtight container that food sits in for months, right? Spurlock, did veganism turn your brain completely off or something? Hell, the fucker even tried to claim credit for McDonald’s having salads, falsely stating at one point they didn’t have any before he “exposed” their EVIL PLANS.
Yeah, that’s another thing to remember, he’s apparently a vegan. He didn’t let anyone know he’s one, of course, he only mentioned his girlfriend is one, because it would’ve made his vomiting after a single McDonald’s meal, something literally no one else on the planet has done, seem less ZOMG SCARY.
Want a good film of this nature? Try Tom Naughton’s Fat Head instead, a film where a guy actively proves Spurlock wrong by actually losing weight while eating nothing but fast food for a month. He accomplishes this by NOT fucking gorging himself on the unhealthiest food choices, eating more meals than he claims or cutting out his usual physical activity. While he’s at it, he also exposes exactly why Spurlock is a total fraud. In the process, he gets actual doctors and nutrition experts to help him explain why everything you know about healthy eating is probably wrong or half-true, inform us about good and bad cholesterol, expose the real reasons behind the so-called “obesity epidemic” and point out why fat =/= unhealthy by default. Yeah, Naughton encourages viewers to try the paleo diet in the end, but at least it comes off more as a suggestion and doesn’t demonize anyone in the process.
Wow, everything I know is now a lie.
Also I have a personal vendetta against this guy for the documentary called Rats. That was completely biased garbage that only added to the stigma against them without ever looking into the good side.
Oh my fucking GOD.
Spurlock also admitted to sexual misconduct
First Jared, now this guy? What is it with people who try to screw with McDonald’s being total creeps?
you can also watch electric Eric on YouTube . He’s a guy who suffered from anorexia and now eats competitively. Eats The craziest meals and just workouts out a lot to stay in shape.
Sounds like my kind of fitness plan. honestly.
You can thank this A-hole for not just making lies but also ruining business relationships with other companies like Disney, they didn’t want to be related with the fast food franchise so they cut ties over 10 years until 2018 that it seems both are in friendlier terms since they released toys of The Incredibles 2 and the upcoming Wreck it Ralph sequel but over those 10 years we didn’t get any disney toys to why we didn’t get to see toys like Phineas and Ferb, Gravity Falls and Star Vs….with the popularity Gravity Falls was getting back in the day, it’s surprising we didn’t get to see a Happy Meal based on the Mystery Shack, the only food franchise that released some merchandise was Subway but it was, ehh…
What makes you angrier the most, this douche was going to release a sequel
Youtube even bought the rights for the movie until….he admitting to a history of sexual misconduct…wow, big surprise coming from an A-hole who makes fake information to people so they can buy it.
So, shitty vegan propaganda, filled with lies and slander, made by an actual rapist. I swear, every time I hear about Super Size Me, it gets worse somehow.
So somehow this piece of absolute horseshit was shoehorned into every school curriculum and shown to students with little to no rebuttal or attempt to have people question the film. But don’t worry school boards don’t try to indoctrinate kids..nope not at all.
