Did anyone see that movie?
I only saw the an extra on the DVD. It was interesting. They tested what happens to burgers and fries after eight weeks when left in sealed containers. The only thing that didn't decay or mold were the fries. They looked brand new. So I thought that was interesting.....

coooooool, plastic fries... Yeah, I saw it. It was pretty good; a fun documentary. It wasn't that well researched, just focusing mainly on Morgan Spurlock's McMonth. Also had some good bits about the appalling state of school cafeteria food The bits about Texas were really interesting, though (highest rate of supersize offers by staff + fattest state). I was so amazed by the size of a supersize fries and coke - we don't have the "supersize" containers in Australia. Is it true that they're no longer available in the US due to the movie?

Supersize Me was a very good documentary. It made me want to quit Wendy's.

I found the movie quite humourous honestly. I watched it twice and my friends and I ate McDonald's food the second time for the fun of it I must say, though, that overall, I didn't care for the movie. This is partially due to its lack of scientific methodology. Also, I felt the movie "proved" very little since everyone knows that fast food isn't healthy. The scenario was ridiculous since no one eats that much McDonald's in a month. Lastly, after watching the movie, I still felt that the consumer was responsible if he or she chose to eat that much fast food, not the company.

Yes, but it still says something pretty bad about a nation if there are enough dumb people who eat fast food to keep all those companies in business. It may not be the companies' fault, but it sure reflects poorly upon Americans.

I thought is was somewhat entertaining, but with slow/boring times (it was a documentary, after all). It was pretty scary though, and made me think twice about what I eat.
