That it makes you hungry
That it is just pointless
What a waste of time the Super Size Me 'movie' is.
So eating McDonald's three times a day for a month makes you fat - incredible, thanks for enlightening us.
It is indeed the 'distortion of reality' the fast food giant claims.
No one in there right mind - unless of course you wanted to make money off a lame documentary - eats it more than around three times a week, so for normal people it would take around 900 years for it to have the same effects on our body as Spurlock experienced.
The direction and script (if there were either) were just dreadful.
The more he ate the worse he felt - surprised anyone?
If he carried on doing it he would die said the doctor - I'm no expert and I could have told you that!
And the most tedious pieces of film ever? Spurlock telling his worried sick mother that he'd be OK, that he only had a few more days to go, as if he was some hero thrust into battle against a giant superpower, when in fact he was nothing more than an attention seeker inadvertently doing a phenomenal promotion campaign for the Golden Arches.
The whole experiment was frankly pointless, and showed us nothing we did not already know:
A - fast food makes you fat
B - Americans will go to strange and stupid lengths to be famous.
Important, please be aware that:
