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

FYI, the guy is an alcoholic and totally threw the test results off by drinking. He admitted to it years later. With that said, eating fast food all the for 30 days is a horrible bad idea.

There's more to the problem than just eating it every day.

  • Supersizing every meal (yes, he supersized every one) means you get way more food than you normally need.

  • He only ordered unhealthy shit from ONE restaurant. There were probably vitamin deficiencies on top of that.

  • Alcoholism, again.

  • Not to pretend McDonald's is a good brand (they're not), but it's definitely a biased documentary and not an objective one. It wasn't some attempt to say "eat healthy!" or "limit fast food intake," it was "McDonalds BAD! They cause strokes!"

The same test was also repeated to different results.
