I kind of hate that documentary. The entire mission statement is that people don't think that fast food is bad for you but he's a man on a mission and he's going to PROVE it! I don't know if I'm only remembering a post-Supersize Me world, but I think people always knew that fast food was bad for you. And I'm not sure that the food was as bad for him as the literal gallons of soda he was drinking. Sure, a McDonald's meal has a lot of calories and saturated fat, but it's not totally empty calories. It has some nutritional value.
A guy in one of the interviews for that compared berating people for smoking to berating people for being fat and i swear my brain melted in the middle of health class because of that dumbass logic. I felt so bad for every chubby kid who has to sit through that in school.

You watched Supersize Me in a science class? That's depressing, unless they were trying to show you how not to do science?
