[the_wizzard]

[mcdee]

[Andy]

load of shite imo

why the fook would u wanna eat processed crap for a month? Doesnt prove fuck all does it.

[dave208]

i saw this last year and if i remember correctly he was ordering 2 meals at times. hardly makes the 'experiment' fair if youre doin somethin like that. and like everyones said a million times before, if youre eating mcdonalds all day every day what do you expect?

[casio]

he was proving a point if i remember right something to do with some kids suing mcd's for being fat, and mcd's said that they could only be held responsable if they had only eaten mcd's and it made them ill but they did admit that its was dangerous to do so

No it was just 1 meal at a time, the only rule was if he was asked to supersize it, he had to say yes.

[casio]

i think they confusion came from the fact that they give 2 cheeseburgers and fries as one meal

It's a load of balls really, like me making a program of myself eating a stick of butter and injecting skag 3 times a day for a month and being like "OMG Lurpak is so EVIL!"

That's a good idea actually, does anyone own a TV company and want to buy some programs?

[CzarJunkie]

I think all you who eat the shite from McD's are just trying to find some comfort by slagging the program off. Lets not kid ourselves, people do eat diets that do contain the same amount of saturated fat and refined sugar that he was getting through everyday, just that most people don't buy it all at McD's.

have to agree there.

what was really scarey was the fact that this shite could actually be addictive!!

True, but the whole point of the program is that it's attacking McD's. If it were called fatten me, and about him just making himself fat, then it wouldn't get half of the attention it does because tbh it's a bit shoddily made and is frankly unremarkable. I actually skipped half an hour in the middle while watching it because I knew what they were going to say. Cue expert saying "McDonald's is... *makes hand gesture* ..unhealthy. And if people keep eating it, we, as a nation, are going to get fatter."

People seem to take a particular pleasure in slagging McDonald's off, when it's no worse than many other options, nutritionally at least.

McD's is the biggest and most well known, he's making a statement and the best way of getting that statement across was by attacking the most aggressive fast food producer in the world. And why shouldn't he attack McD's, do you think the way they target kids and the billions they spend every year convincing kids to eat their food is ethical?

[the_wizzard]

you know what? you only have to look around these day's to see what the like's of mcdonald's is doing to all the youth, also look at when they where introduced into china, they have never had a problem with obesity..now they do!

when i was at school(many year's ago) we had 1 fat kid there in the whole school. now every second kid is fat..and usually fookin lazy aswell. lot's of my friend's kid's are fat and guess what? they all love big mac's and burger king's.

this also has the supermarket's catering for there fast food junkie's also. i'm sure you have all seen the microwave burger's\fry's\kebab's\pizza's\ect.

at the end of the day it's all your own choice if you do or if you don't. i can't for the life of me see why people like the shite they churn out!!??

[eightpints]

this documentry obviously had an effect on mcd's as it withdrew the supersize option, but also it's now introducing salads and all other stuff to try and change it's fat fooker image.

[gallag]

you could also say that computers make kids fat to, 1 mcds a week will not do you any harm

[flumperino]

gotta admit, i wasn't that surprised or incredulous about the film.....what did get me was that mountain of sugar at the end, that they said he'd consumed :coffee

[Conkers]

lol lol lol did u see the size of the coke's ?????

A 1/2 gallon of coke !!!!!!! that's 2.5 litres !!!!!!!!!

with 48 spoons of sugar per serving....mmmmmmmmm.....uckdonalds !!

Only in the USA !!

i used to eat McDonalds 3 times a day every day for 5 years when I worked there. I weigh just over 10St now, and I've put weight on since then! Its a load of ball, wacth the whole filem his missus is more scary than McDoanlds will ever be.

[The Prodigy]

What an ignorant comment to make. How exactly do McD's damaged children? And the enviroment comment is a complete joke, do some reseach and you can either agree with me or lie on that point.

The film doesnt actually discredit McDonalds, only the American poeples actitude.
