Many of you people need to actually see the movie before you start preaching. His actions were more of a commentary. He did give many interesting, unaltered facts.

One of the best parts was when in the movie they were talking about how it was socially acceptable to tell people to stop smoking etc, but you can't do the same to fat people...

HEY STOP EATING YOU FAT PIG!

Rather than starting a new thread...

I just watched this movie. It's not that I didn't know the $hit was bad for you (Fast Food Nation is a great read) but actually seeing it work on this guy was pretty fvcked up. I suggest that all of you rent/buy this movie when it comes out as it's definately worth the time and money. Hey, it's about the same price to rent it as it will cost you to get the Quarter Pounder w/ Cheese value meal super sized to go along with it. ;)

The one thing I wish this movie had was another person on the All-McD's diet who actually exercised a bit. I'm not talking 4 hours a day, just the 30-40 min a few times a week that are the "recommended minimum" you always hear about. I'd be willing to bet that would have undone or at least staved off a great deal of the damage done by the fast food diet.

Not saying it's okay to eat this sh*t, just that inactivity is the greater culprit by far in the current obesity epedemic (IMHO).
