[@yeahreally9185]

Food deserts are a huge systemic problem that requires huge systemic solutions - not individual blame. I feel like back in 2004 when this was filmed, we were so busy ragebaiting each other over "frivolous" lawsuits that nobody bothered with real solutions aside from "just put down the fork". State and local governments passed "hamburger laws" that prohibited people from pursuing big corporations, but they never discussed expanding access to food assistance or developing the infrastructure to make healthy foods more affordable. At least we're having the conversation today, even though the system is still failing so many individuals.

[@haveyouseenblue]

This exactly! Especially now as food prices and rent prices are skyrocketing with no matching raise in wages

[@FattyButterBits]

I've been broke my whole life, and always ate healthy. When I was homeless with my family in the car, I still went to the grocery store daily and fed my kid and myself healthy. Things are on sale. Veggies are not expensive. I have never had a savings...even beans and rice is healthier, which I lived on for a year. This is a misconception that fast food is cheaper.

[@yeahreally9185]

@@FattyButterBits Where do you live? I weathered half a dozen layoffs during the Great Recession, so I had to learn pretty quickly how to spread the family food budget. I found that going to local discount grocers and highway produce stands could yield me pounds of fresh, giant, beautiful produce for pennies on the dollar. The trade-off was that whole foods took a lot more time to prepare. But that worked out ok because we were unemployed and had the extra time anyway. But this was in Florida, where everything is always in season, and farmland and the migrants to work the fields were plentiful. I live in a northern area of the country now where I've found the complete opposite to be true. Fresh produce of any kind is much harder to come by even when it's in season, and is exorbitantly more expensive per pound than a fast food dollar menu. This goes back to the issue of food deserts. Some people can access plenty of whole foods at affordable prices, while many more cannot. I'm genuinely grateful that you were able to, but please don't judge others by assuming they're as lucky as you were in this area. The argument for beans and rice can still be made. But rice is just as much a simple carbohydrate as the bun of a fast food sandwich. And I'd call it cruel to expect a poor family to eat nothing but beans for every meal. Edit: considering the username and the fact that they supposedly had a kitchen in their car to prepare meals, I'm assuming this is a troll. I'm leaving my comment up in support of anyone going through a rough period. You don't need shame on top of stress, and your struggle is valid.

I'm a Program Manager for a substance abuse treatment outpatient program in California and have been in this field for around 8 years. The doctor talking about giving Naloxone (Narcan) to a "chocolate addict" is the most misleading thing said. The study the doctor is referring, is Naloxone being administered to Women who have been diagnosed with Bulimia and Obese women when eating Sweet and High Fat foods. It was shown to be 0% affective in reducing the obese women from eating but it stopped the Bulimic Women from binging. It concluded that Naloxone should be considered for treating Bulimia not obesity. This study was done in 1995.

His very methodology invalidated the documentary. The point was that McDonald's was unhealthy full stop. It's true but the documentary doesn't prove this at all. The documentary only concludes that eating the largest meals at McDonalds is unhealthy which is a far cry from the original point. The Supersize Me challenge isn't what McDonalds has never promoted and neither was it something that Americans did every day. The documentary's main target should have been convincing people like Warren Buffet that him eating his McDonalds every day was unhealthy not 3x his daily food intake in one meal.

[@monalisa-bs4zs]

Supersize is a massive benefit to the world. People who never have sofa or fast food are better off.

How though? If he was drinking prior, during, and after, then the experiment is still valid, as the drinking variable remained constant, right?

Instead of better benefits, McDonald’s always gave us a free meal whenever you worked. A small meal if you worked under 5 hours. A large meal if you worked over 5 hours.

Schools having healthier lunches is BS, At least from personal experience. I worked as a “lunch lady” for 5 years and while we offered a small “salad bar” (plain lettuce, 1 fruit and 1 veggie option) we mostly served meals such as pizza, chicken nuggets, hot dogs, etc (and ofc most stuff was pre-cooked and frozen) The kids were all meant to take at least 1 fruit and veg, but we couldn’t force them to and ofc most kids just wanted nuggets or pizza. For “snacks” we had different chips, pretzels, etc, but nothing like cookies, brownies, ice cream. That wasn’t allowed. At least not at the elementary school. BUT that was allowed and more (cinnamon buns, cupcakes, soda, etc) in the middle and high school cuz kids were deemed “old enough and responsible enough” to make their own food choices. You really think the 5th grader isn’t gonna go into 6th grade and splurge on all the junk food? I know it. I asked a 5th grader and he said he’ll go and get ice cream every day once in 6th grade.

Personally, I'd think that maybe healthier options should be way cheaper than unhealthy food options. Like, why shouldn't a salad be about a dollar or so, and have a Mcdonald's hamburgers be about 10 dollars or so? It isn't exactly Mcdonald's fault for people eating in their places, but everyone else's fault for just eating at a place that is completely unhealthy.

One glaring thing that I noticed about the documentary since I rewatched it recently is that the lawyer representing the two girls suing McDonald’s was only interviewed once and was never seen being interviewed again throughout the film (mind you, this lawyer and his case is the catalyst for the whole movie). The one and only interview that was shown of the lawyer wasn’t very flattering, as he was asked what was his other motivations for pursuing the case. His response was (paraphrasing here), “Besides monetary gain? Um…” and they cut to the next scene with another interviewee. No follow-up interviews later on, nothing. The lawyer must’ve said something so laughable and ridiculous that they had to cut out his answer, but I was shocked as to why that part wasn’t cut out altogether.

Almost any food consumption can be dangerous. Over the last probably 10 years I would estimate i eat 1.5 meals a day on average. Normally a meal either on the way home from work or at home and then occasionally id stop while traveling while on the clock for work(i would take drinks for work but almost never food). I usually would work 6 days a week. Usually the meal was on the way home and it was/is McDonalds. The food while on the clock would be usually McD but occasionally sheets/wawa/whatever gas station i drove past if i wasn't going right past a McD. Some days i may skip eating if Im not out traveling for whatever reason or may occasionally stop over a family members for dinner if they invite me(by invite i mean they mention they made dinner. Lol. I do enjoy home made meals). I would estimate at least half my meals and certainly a minimum of half my calories are McDonald's. I'm 31(? I think). I'm 6' tall and my weight is somewhere around 175-185(dressed, with boots). Fast food consumption isn't as bad as most make it out to be. Nothing is as healthy as some claim it to be.

I am not quite sure why they did that, but I guess it has to do with not advertising their unhealthy food as aggressively to children, to prevent obesity.

[@rollingfinn2044]

Funny enough it's the opposite it's marketing strategy. Mcdonalds changed their image to a little kids fast food place to a more "mature" "adult" restaurant. Mcdonalds now knows the current adult generation has more money and will buy more of their food then adults in their 30s or 40s buying for their children.

[@jerricaleonard2123]

They stopped doing it in the US too.

[@angrymario8259]

They want to loose the stigma of being a "fast food" place and seem more of a "regular" burger restaurant, like they did with the "signature burgers"

[@svetaspins]

We studied MacDonald’s advertising in Behaviour Science in my degree two decades ago. Red & yellow are the first two colours (primary colours) that a baby recognises/ responds to. It’s all strategic to capture an audience from birth.

[@NatsumiTakanawa]

Yeah McDonald's chnaged their esthetic all over. They're going with some modernized decor now.

[@notreallydavek7237]

It just shocked me that people needed a movie to tell them eating fast food every day is unhealthy.

[@ezaike335]

i had the same thought until i saw how massive the fast foods are in US

[@BrutalFelix82]

whats even more shocking is the fact the fast food market only continues to grow uncontrollably, at some point i do expect the governemnt to step in, the obesity epidemic is out of control, even more so than 20 years ago

[@johnnyparsnips7641]

I mean, it really doesn't make sense. I used to work at both bugerking and McDonald's... (Obviously excluding the soda and fried foods) Their burgers are actually most likely healthier than the average home-cooked burger lol

I can tell you this; I ate at a McDonald's in Paris and the food was the same. Mcdonald is Mcdonald; delicious but to be enjoyed sparingly.

[@michaelkaizer85]

The only difference is there are certain preservatives the EU has banned so they aren't used there... They are much more strict on food additives

[@marlo8528]

The food at McDonalds is different in Japan. Not necessarily healthier, but a menu tailored to local taste: like a shrimp burger.

In middle school when I was in culinary I already started to have an eating disorder, after they showed me that movie in school it launched my anorexia into the extremes, that movie ruined me and my relationship with food for 4 years. I don't fully put the blame on the movie but I know for a fact that that movie and the assignment where I had to count my calories for a week at the same time made me go from cutting breakfast and snacks to not eating until I absolutely had to

[@charlescannon2469]

The movie straight up has him saying he's ending all working out and reducing his step count down to less than 5k. So a highly active, healthy eating, vegan went to no excerise and an entire days worth of calories per meal. Three meals a day. And that's supposed to a reasonable representation?

Food companies and fastfood companies hire food scientists to find the most addictive combination of ingredients for the lowest cost possible.

[@tinytina5864]

I think that the core issue wasn't really addressed in the original doc. One of the core issues in general is vicious cycles. Most people my age that I know (I'm around 27) are stuck in a cycle of having too much stuff to do, often there is a lack of money and bills are just going up and up. Our parents didn't teach us life skills because they were too busy or had other stuff that mattered more to them at the time. My parents were low income, so they couldn't afford to put me in programs that allowed me to be active, when I did stuff at home to stay active, my parents would make fun of me. My parents didn't try and get me to try new foods. If I didn't like veggies? It wasn't worth the fight because my mom had two jobs and my dad wasn't a veggie person either. A large percent of people I know experienced the same kind of upbringing. It lead to a lot of us growing up feeling shame about our bodies, embarrassed to try and exercise because of that shame and fear of judgement. We self sooth, typically with unhealthy coping mechanisms, then feel like a failure.

[@thefirely1439]

It is still an interesting documentary. I saw the point he was trying to make but it was poorly excecuted. Supersize me 2 is actually pretty interesting though. The chicken industry is not what I expected it to be😂

Never cared too much for commentary channels but I’ve watched every video you’ve dropped on here for the last couple years now. Keep it up man, you’re a reasonable human who isn’t afraid to also make a joke. You have the serious talks but you know how to poke fun. I love it man. Don’t change x

[@iank472]

What I think is most important about Super Size Me is that it forced McDonald's to change a lot of their policies and menu. Even with all the exaggerated and outright false claims Morgan Spurlock made (which are obviously not ok in a documentary) fast food became somewhat less unhealthy with fruit in kids meals and salad options. It's still far from ideal but there's absolutely zero chance any fast food company would have made any changes without some sort of catalyst.

[@Willrocs]

That's what's docs are , one sided bs

[@TheReluctantVlogger]

Although it was extreme and not as educational as it could’ve been, the point he made was helpful overall. By stating the sheer amount of McDonalds there are plus eating there everyday is actually pretty relevant. My grandparents lived a couple miles down the road from a McDonalds and my uncle ate there pretty much everyday, and sometimes twice because he came to visit them daily. He wasn’t a healthy guy. It was also the reason my family and I went there often when I was young. Convenience. After I saw this film in the 11th grade, I stopped eating there. Now I hate McDonalds food and rarely eat fast food. It made its point and was generally a positive thing I think.

[@Nonyah123]

except mcdonalds today is far unhealthier than it was 20 or 30 years ago. It simply introduced the illusion of health

[@RHBR01]

​@@TheReluctantVlogger Lying and misleading the public when you *do not have to* is not a positive thing at all. Because when people figure out the truth, they'll now second-guess anything they hear about McDonalds being unhealthy because "well, what if it turns out this guy is making stuff up too?" Don't lie to make a point. Just tell the truth and let people make their own choices.

[@goatmanilla]

The only thing it did was eliminate the "super size" option and replace it with "large".

[@Cmoth040]

There was a response film made, "Fat Head". It was originally intended to be sarcasm, where a computer programmer/comedian decided to do the same thing, eat nothing but fast food. The twist, based on Spurloch's excessive calories, that he didn't track, was that the guy would pretend people were smart and wouldn't gorge themselves. It's pretty interesting.
