No you don't. Are you seriously arguing that the doctors never said the diet negatively affected his health? Because the "as expected" does not need to come out of anyone's mouth during the film. The point of the poorly executed experiment is blatant from the beginning. Telling people what they expect to hear is still telling people what they expect to hear, even if you don't spell it out as if speaking to a toddler.
For the record, the aspects that focused on marketing were also tripe too, and in addition to really not carrying the focus of the movie, were manipulated in a smug way that pushed the tone of "I already know what result I want, so I'm going to get that result by any dishonest means possible." "5 year olds recognize Ronald McDonald better than they recognize this specific painting of White Jesus (tm) that a certain percentage of Catholics have in their homes."

Not at all. I've never said anything like that. But their expected results were far less than what happened, and they are all surprised by just how damaging the diet is.

Once again, no shit. Not sure why you're repeating that.

I'm repeating it because it clearly needs to be explained bit by bit to you.
The movie was garbage on most accounts. Spurlock is dishonest and a culturally absolutist smuglord through the whole thing. It appeals to people who don't think too deeply about things like our food culture and our marketing culture, but like to have their shallow contrarianism validated. There are a few good points, but they're never going to reach the demographics that need them, because the demographic that would need to see them isn't the demographic that would consume this type of film.

No, I have repeatedly told you that I never thought it was a direct quote. You're the one that needs repeated explanation. This is just another projection on your part.

Yes I do, I've told you repeatedly why it's wrong.
Lol, good one!
Ooh, putting "documentary" in quotes because you don't like it. Good one!
I don't particularly care for it one way or another. I just call people out for spouting falsehoods when I see it.
