Social Super Size Me scam

What was super sized is now a large.

The real problem with McDonalds is that their clients cannot afford their food.

The documentaries that get nominated for Academy Awards and that trend on Netflix or at the box office are always docudramas.

That's because, as TNT knows well, drama sells. It's primary aim isn't to inform. Unfortunately, the documentaries that probably have the greatest capacity to enlighten and improve society are the most detached, and thus usually the most boring. They typically offer few (if any) conclusions, and don't steer the viewer towards a conviction that there is something to be done about any particular problem associated with their primary topic.

People need to stop saying that, because it isn't true.

What I eat governs how much I eat, ghrelin and leptin are primordial triggers driven by what you put into your body.

No , it is true and what you're saying doesn't negate that in the slightest.

I remember doing this with you once before and you were particularly dense about the subject then too.

I did enjoy the sequel



As for the original, it should have stopped becoming a staple in health classes across the US after the many people tried to replicate Morgan's findings and just couldn't do it.

Yes, eating fast food is not healthy for you. But, if one person tries and experiment and the results are "x" and many other people conduct the same experiment and the results are "Y", then something is up.

You mean, like, anecdotes aren't worth a fuck? G'won.

Calories in vs calories out.

There was a documentary that came out shortly after super size me where the exact same experiment was run but the guy ended up losing weight because he equated for his calorie expenditure.

People need to start understanding the idea that there are no truly unhealthy foods, but unhealthy habits. What's healthy or unhealthy is relative.

That second last sentence is utter horseshit.

That isn't bro science dipshit. That's actual science.

You can't even begin to explain how your comment negates that.

I already did, you just don't understand it, the same way you don't understand caloric availability in different foods. Or the effects of insulin spikes on appetite.

You didn't explain anything. You're throwing around terms as if you produced an argument. None of what you said negates the idea of calories in vs out.

If you are in a deficit, you lose weight. Period.

It ALL does. The drive to eat is pushed by the factors I described which vary based on what you consume.

Of course calories in/out is important but it's more important to know how to control that. Obviously.

Really? Why?
It's not like you need to fake it to stack on weight if you're only eating McDonalds and always the largest serves.
I've heard there's salads and other token foods on the menu these days that aren't completely awful, and supposedly they even offer real coffee now (not sure if that was related to the bad publicity of their percolated coffee), but I assume the majority of it is still potatoes, fruit pies, battered fish and battered chicken deep fried in "shortening" along with burgers made from sweet bread, HFCS filled sauce, awful cheese and low quality beef?
Not to mention the thick shakes, soft drink, ice cream, sundaes, flurries and muffins of course.

If you eat 4500 calories a day of anything you're going to put on weight unless you drastically up your exercise.

That's really all it comes down to. Eat less, move more. People want it to be more complicated than that because eating less and moving more takes effort and dicipline.

He had a conclusion in mind before he began his "experiment". He wanted to show himself packing on the pounds due to the McDonald's diet. So, he cut weight to reach a point lower than his natural weight. That way, no matter what, he would be able to show a weight gain.

Other people have tried to replicate his findings by simply only eating McDonald's for a month, and they couldn't replicate it.

I'm not sure I would eat McDonald's salads. When the kids were little, I bought a couple of happy meals that came with the apple slices. The slices my kids didn't eat, I put in our backward composter. Those apple slices looked the same for nearly a week. They wouldn't decompose at the same rate of the other kitchen scraps. It was odd.

They're irradiated. There's a joke about that in 28 Days Later. All the other fruit is spoiled except the granny smith apples.

I eat once a day and get plenty of exercise. I eat clean, prepare all my own meals and never eat junk.

I don't say these things because I lack discipline, I say them because they're true.

Well sure, but their food has the sort of caloric density that you can easily eat thousands of calories without actually eating a lot of food.
It's not high quality, but it has a lot of fats, carbohydrates and sugars. 4500 calories is actually less than I'd expect from a grown man eating three meals a day given their current menu, and supposedly it's an improvement from what it used to be.

They may have been shady as hell in some instances, but they produced amazing material directly from the source. It would be a rare occasion where PV didn't share the truth.

I remember their baby parts video. They had nearly 4 hours of straight video, with only an edit for the bathroom break and the usual Leftists claimed it to be "highly edited" and dismissed it. They should have won a Pulitzer and perhaps a few others for their work. But, we know that award is now for Leftist propaganda only.

Not for nothing, but you do know that the "baby parts" video was complete nonsense, right? The one example of a "righteous" video was a crystal clear example of them editing to create a false narrative?

If you're someone who watched the unedited video you know this.

The things PV alleged were HIGHLY illegal. If the video was damning why did nothing happen? Are conservative lawmakers that incredibly useless?
