So I watched the movie Supersize me!

I've been wanting to watch this movie, but can't seem to find it. My library doesn't have it and I checked BB, but no luck.

It seems interesting, although yes, it is far-fetched, eating 3x a day, every day, but I think a lot can be learned from it.

Me? Filet O Fish.

That's all I really can eat there. once in a long while I get an apple pie or something. The french fires have beef in them so I don't eat them, but I can eat the BK fries

the french fries have beef in them?? i had no clue

---

No, there's no beef IN their fries...however they are seasoned with 'natural flavorings' - which, after conducting studies, showed that those natural flavorings are beef - like broth, etc.

Didn't he interview people who said they ate at McD's more than once a day? Some people ate 2 meals and others ate all 3 meals there - just about every day.

He did his study for 30 days...you take someone who eats just 1 meal there a day for a year...I'd say you're polluting your body just the same.

I don't remember him asking people (who said yes) if they eat McDonalds 2 or 3 times a day. I remember him talking to the Don guy (mentioned above) who ate 1 or 2 big mac's a day.

---

There was a part where he was interviewing people on the street....Like 'hey guys, do you eat fast food? How many times a week would you say you eat it?'

I haven't seen it yet...But was the point really to get the attention of those who supposedly ate McDonald's three times a day everyday? I doubt it. (But I could be wrong...)

---

Then what was the point? All I saw and thought was 'but nobody eats McDonalds 3 times a day' Make a movie about 1,2 or even 3 times a week. Why don't the do a movie about the guy who eats a big mac everyday?

I don't know. I haven't seen it. I'm just saying that I think there might be more to it than it being geared towards people who eat McDonald's three times a day.

I think that it was to give anyone an awakening. I know a few people who gave up McDs because of that movie, and they barely ate it 2x/month!

He stated the point in the beginning of the movie - it was inspired by a court case that stated that McD's is not bad for you...after they were sued by some kids - or some such thing.

I think if you watched the movie again - not so late - you might see it a different way...

If you don't eat the fries bc of the stuff in the oil then you might want to check into the Filet O Fish.... I thought it was fried in oil. If so it might be fried in the same oil as the fries.
