if you havn't it's about a man who is in really good health that desides to eat McDonalds for a month in order to get McDonalds in trouble for selling bad food. \n\nisn't it sick what we're all eating? i really think that there should be more choices for people my age (teens) to eat at that isn't expensive!!!\n\nand that clip about the cafeteria when the kids are eating HORRIBLE food--- THAT SHOULD BE CHANGED!!! PEOPLE'S TAXES GO INTO THAT FOOD, WHEN ALL IT'S DOING IS KILLING US!!!

Yes, I did. Scary, scary, scary, SCARY! I never was much for fast-food, but after that documentary, I avoid it even more. That man actually got VERY sick from just 30 days of nothing but fast food, breakfast, lunch, and dinner. He started out in perfect health, but gained something like 40 lbs, his blood pressure skyrocketed, his cholesterol was out of sight, he was developing pre-diabetes, shortness of breath, and irregular heartbeat. He couldn't sleep right, his thinking was fuzzy, and he was getting depressed. He was also addicted - he could not believe the powerful urge to get more Big Macs every day, even though he was feeling sick and lethargic - and even more disturbing was that he would start to feel better once he started eating another one! Like a drug!\n\nThis so-called Fast Food Nation is terrifying me, and I'm glad my kids don't care for fast-food besides the occasional (once a month or so) pizza night.

The problem is big money as talked about in the books.  What would happen to the dairy industry, meat industry, drug industry.  You get too popular explaining what really happens to the body when this crap is ingested, these industries will spend millions of dollars to make you look like a fool to keep their billions rolling in.  Sad but true.  Changing individuals is hard enough.  It's like asking someone to change the beliefs they were raised with.          Become the model of extreme health, then people will listen to you more.  GOOD LUCK!

What do I think?....\nI think if you are whining about this I would HATE to have you as one of my "Joes" \nI also think that if you think that waking up at 0400 to eat a soggy omlet, standing in line, waiting in a room of people to get seen by a doctor and then waiting 9 whole hours for a ride is bad....\n\nTry putting it into perspective, you are asking to join the Military!!! How about Not getting any sleep for 2-3 whole days, Not having anything to eat for 2 days, humpin your gear for 10-15 miles, then having to pull perimeter guard for 9 hours till a helicopter arrives to pick you up! Maybe you should go work at Wal-Mart or McDonalds instead? (Or you could stop bitching and think about what you are trying to get yourself into?)

I like the one where fat people sue McDonalds for making them fat....I've been forced into McDonalds by gunpoint and made to eat Big Macs, haven't you?  What a bunch of idiots.  And the lawyers who represent them are even worse.  In my class on Torts (civil suits), there are enough ridiculous cases to go around...an assault is an intentional harmful or offensive contact....and offensive can be what the reasonable person deems so.....so you can only imagine.

Muge, instead you should have asked these people if would they eat there own babies ( and many would ) you are asking your question to mostly ignorant people who have no understanding of these issues...who live on a diet of McD and KFC and whose brains are riddled with dormant mad cow virus.\n\nThey have no better understanding than Korean puppy torturers. If it's not human it's food. Post your question where more intelligent people might read it.....Carnivores are cruel.

Most intelligent people read Kennedy's investigative report on autisim and thimerosal.  As a parent, I paid attention.  While it is good to know what and how the USG is bilking and raping its citizens, we are getting too entrenched in the details.  Just like the Democraps, Repukelicans will take advantage as much as possible, especially when they sense the "tide is turning".  With the onslaught of their scandals amongst other reasons, the Repukelicans sensed their time was numbered, so they made the "hail mary" play and put as much "pork" into all bills as they could.  To pretend there is a difference between the two corrupted parties is bad enough.....to question why their greed and corruption has become so rampant, is to ignore the face looking at you in the mirror.  We allowed these scumbags to place their interests over those of America.  May your chosen diety have mecy on us all.  A response to the guy who won't sue in case of medical mistake:  while I wouldn't sue if my cast itched too much, I'd sue if they set the bone wrong, or put the cast on the wrong arm....The rights and welfare of the many does not outweigh the rights and welfare of the few....for securing individual rights inevitably secure the rights of society.

They SHOULDN`T!!! With all the food just wasted daily in this country,we could STOP any hunger the USA has,right now, and THAT is THE TRUTH.I believe it should be a CRIME for stores and restaurants to through away absolutely perfectly good food.I saw an expose` on television recently about it...it`s HORRENDOUS what gets wasted!  From my heart to yours......!  :)

Our society is quickly moving away from the "melting pot" to the "frying pan". Every group of people now feel that it is their profound duty and responsibility to take offense at every little thing that might make that group look silly or in some cases just a little funny. Whats funny about the article is that there is another chain restaurant called "Chi-Chi's" that also can be interpreted as a part (actually two parts) of a females anatomy. I guess if the food is really, really good, its OK.

Since poor diet causes just as much health problems as smoking does, should we also ban all high fat foods? Why don't we cut road deaths by fitting all cars with a speed limiter to 55mph? Why don't we ban dangerous and extreme sports, after all, they kill off quite a few people? Since violent imagery might set off one or two weirdos, let's ban all films that didn't get a U certificate, and any game with a rating that isn't 3+. \n\nThere, now, that's much safer for everyone, isn't it?

its  ridiculous and there's so many "news" shows with nothing but this crap. my theory is that the people who eat this  up like mothers milk are those same people who would gossip and be in everyones business in high school. it truly is a drug type release they get off it. and after the demise of the high school social structure its   HOLLYWOOD ta da.the prettiest people who's seeing who, oh there having a baby. \n the insults come because it sells,its so much easier to joke about somebody's fault than be positive.\n trying to stop it is just a beautiful dream ,our society is too diseased

That story has been told before,only it was against another fast food place,any fast food can be the dirtiest or cleanest in the world,it has nothing to do with the company or brand itself,it's up to the individual to check out if the place you like is a good place to eat,I've worked in expensive restaurants that are less cleaner than their cheaper counterparts

I would be glad if our schools went to something like that, at least I would know they were getting something healthy. Right now, if they want to eat a fried chicken sandwhich everyday they can, and when you are 6 years old it's a pretty yummy choice, I think that offerring the healthy versions of food will help kids get into the habit of eating things that are good for them which in the long run will help with weight issues. Kids should not be coming home to all out binge on whatever junk they want either, this type of eating can also lead to life long struggles with weight. There are also alot of kids out there that don't get healthy meals at home either, so at least now they will be getting 5 a week.

Haha I am not fat or tall so thank you for saying the word "majority."  We live in fast food nation.  There are a lot of lazy people out there who eat horrible meals and too large of portions.  They don't exercise and drink 6 Cokes per day.  They drive everywhere and they don't go see the doctor.  It's cheaper to go to the Dollar Menu at McDonald's than buy fruits, veggies and fish to have for dinner... and it is quicker!

As I remember, it's about a world that has become poisoned by pollution, over populated and underfed. It is a police state where information is forbidden and those sources are illegal. At least that world gave you the right to die in dignity but you weren't supposed to know you were about to become food. I'd have thought that Heston's politics would have different because of that movie. You might try seeing 1984 and Logan's Run as well. I still think we may well be headed in that direction if we don't do something about our own state of affairs very soon.

Why you shouldn't eat fast food. I did a speech on this last semester and my professor and peers loved it. You can use clips from the movie "Super Size Me" as a visual aid.

I agree. Along the same lines, people who drink alcohol, or have bad diets should therefore have to pay for their own health care as well. What a load of rubbish. I'm not a smoker but the advertising and all the hype about smoking really ticks me off. There's never been a fatal car accident when a smoker gets behind the wheel and drives after a few too many cigarettes.

Its all gotten way out of hand.  My favorite in a long time is the one that just came out in a government report on hunger in the US.  People are no longer suffering from hunger.  Its now "food insecurity."   Gimme a break!!!!
