7. I agree about her attitude

though I agree in principle with her perspective.

I haven't touched 'food' from MacDonalds (or similar) for years, even more so since I watched that film. :puke:

3. There were some "less than appetizing moments"...

Yes...that scene when he has his first McDonald's meal was...ugh.

I felt sorry for Morgan Spurlock during "Super Size Me". Imagine living a healthy life like he did...and then suddenly eating crap 3 times a day.

One unintentional (for him) benefit (for me) during "Super Size Me"...those scenes when Morgan was getting weighed...and him wearing nothing but that skimpy bikini...well, hmmmmm. :-)

6. I'm not quite sure if Morgan Spurlock wanted people to remember...

those moments from the film. Of course, he COULD have worn gym shorts or something less...revealing. :-)

I remember the "weird feeling in my penis" comment, also. It seemed...well...an "interesting" comment. And no, MrsG, I've never gotten that feeling from eating a Big Mac, either. :-)

:hi:

5. After seeing that movie last year, I haven't eaten any

fast food.

Mind you, I've kinda grown out of "fast food", but seeing "Super Size Me" just reinforced it.

The thing that perplexes me though is I have a friend who buys her two younger kids nothing but McDonalds, Burger King, etc for lunch and dinner. She does this at least 3 times a week. Her youngest child, a beautiful 5 year old little girl, already has a weight problem and yet her mother still feeds her this crap.

8. If you have the DVD don't miss the experiment with the fries

He puts several McD items under a bell jar and watches what happens to them. Very interesting.
