The movie is crap. They took an inshape guy who was basiclally a vegan and put him on a mickey d's diet. of course he's gone get f'd up. I have lived on fast food in the past for many months and maintained a healthy weight. (healthy weight being under 200 lbs. at 6'2")

I don't eat McDonalds or even like them. But the movie is re diculous.

Eating 5,000 calories a day when your body only burns 2,000 IS GOING TO MAKE YOU FAT. I don't care what food group or restaurant you get it from.

It's as simple as that. This was nothing more than a slam at an easy target to make a quick buck.

the movie was not just about the fatness :roll:
the guy felt physically ill, his sex life tanked out, he felt addiction to the food, etc.

it was almost like he was on steriods.

Try this:

Eat 2.5 times the calories you normally do for a month while cutting out any forms of exercise that HIS BODY WAS USED TO.

Most of his problems were due to a change in routine and eating more than 2.5 times what his body needed. I dare ANYONE that regularly works out (like this guy did) and eats healthy to cut out exercise for a month and eat two and a half times more food than they really need. Report back to me how they feel.

This guy went for the most shock value as possible and played off the ignorant.

You people took it hook, line, and sinker.

Another thing is - this guy lived out of a hotel for half the movie traveling for work. I don't know if that's a normal thing or not, but traveling as much as this guy did if you aren't used to it can really drag you down as well.

There's so many factors that go into overall health. He just maximized every one of them to the extreme.

Okay end of disscussion. I mean c'mon if you do not know that burgers and fries are not good for you, you deserve to die. Nobody forces anyone to eat at mcdonald's. You choose to eat there an inordinate amount of times, you choose to get fat. Deal with it.

Can you really call it a documentary when the creator set out to prove a point? In my mind, a documentary is akin to films of lions eating zebras or something.
