Have you seen the news stories about the obesity epidemic? Did you see 'Super Size Me'? Then guess what ... You've been fed a load of bologna.

Comedian (and former health writer) Tom Naughton replies to the 'Super Size Me' crowd by losing weight on a fat-laden fast-food diet while demonstrating that nearly everything we've been told about obesity and healthy eating is wrong.

Along with some delicious parody of 'Super Size Me,' Naughton serves up plenty of no-bologna facts that will stun most viewers, such as: The obesity "epidemic" has been wildly exaggerated by the CDC. People the government classifies as "overweight" have longer lifespans than people classified as "normal weight." Having low cholesterol is unhealthy. Lowfat diets can lead to depression and type II diabetes. Saturated fat doesn't cause heart disease -- but sugars, starches and processed vegetable oils do.

@ kle0patr0s -- Sorry if I've created a family squabble, but glad you saw the film. There are plenty of research links on the blog if you need to arm yourself for future debates. No, I never got a reply on the food log. Spurlock will never make that public; it would be too embarrassing for him.

Just watched your movie (Documentary channel - NZ Sky Digital TV) - loved it and like Chem101NZ my wife had a WTF moment at the same point - LOL - I think she's kinda conflicted now about all the 'healthy' eating & cholesterol bs she's been fed over the years. Gonna have to show it to my health nut (low fat/high carb) daughter - fireworks may follow! I have a problem too now though thanks to you - I LOVE my pasta and potatoes - but I think you've convinced me to cut them down... a bit. Thanks ....I think.... ;)
Did you ever get any positive response to your request for a look at Spurlock's food log?????

@darthchaosofrspw1 -- yeah, there was so much I wanted to cover, but there were time limits. That was part of what motivated me to start the blog, so I could write more.

I liked the documentary. I do wish you had covered more things, but I realize that you can only put so much in a 100-minute documentary. But still yet, great documentary.....although I did have to make my Ubuntu installation technically illegal (libdvdcss2 is technically illegal) so I could watch the DVD on here LOL!

Guess I'll have to look for the Reason piece again. I couldn't find it before.

Reason Magazine (online) is how I found this movie, and I will be watching it in its entirety soon... looks great!

maddfurey -- That's great news about the diet. I believe you'll find yourself feeling a lot more energetic too, after the carb withdrawal. I thought Super Size Me was entertaining, but didn't think it provided much useful information ... other than 5,000 calories per day will make you fat.

i've watched the videos on youtube and i bought the movie yesterday and watched it. very entertaining. i was a giant carb eater a week ago. i cut it down to less than 100g a day. ate high fat everything so that i could get enough calories and i weighed myself after a week and i lost 3 1/2lbs. had to weigh myself two days in a row because i thought it was wrong. i was on a calorie counting diet for 5months and the most i lost in a week was 2lbs. it seems like every week i trust the government and the big businesses, that they represent, less. i liked spurlocks movie too but Fathead, i believe.

I didn't know Reason had mentioned the film. Can't find anything online. Must've just been in the print version ... ?
