the reason they make fast food so unhealthy is: #1-it tastes better #2-they inject addictive drugs in the food, making you want more and more. #3-so you'll have to pay for more medicine. you see, economically, its a good idea. but, physically, its just not worth the hassle.
I've actually put McDonald's food, (if you can call it that), in my mouth 3 and only 3 times in my entire life. Once when I was in grade school, once more in college and one final time in my early 30's, (I'm 46 now), and each time it was pure shit. I've never fed my kid that shit & I'll never eat it myself again. McDonald's is the nastiest fast food out there. If it weren't for impoverished people having no dietary sense at all McD's would go out of business.
@SpecialEdward121 i am proud to say i have never eaten at a McDonald's or had a fast food burger for that matter, even though i may not always have time to cook, i can find something fast and healthy at the store
i wouldnt mind eating mcdonalds for a month straight id probally go crazy and get diabetes or obese but oh well that what we americans are all about with our fast food these days ;]
me and my friend just startet making videos an we would be really happy if you could give us some feedback to our first vid ... and if you want of cause you can sub if you like it ... more to vids to come
ppl dont realize that walking to/from ur car and to/from the couch ISNT EXERCISE AND DOESNT DO A THING! they sit there watching TV and stuffing their faces with crap food like from mcdonalds and then wonder y theyre gaining weight. a few times a month should b just fine if u usually eat healthy and exercise on a regular basis. alot of ppl dont know that it takes 20 minutes b4 u actually start burning off the calories u consumed from food. less than 20 minutes will only shift the fat in ur blood.
no one else country has food like Italy. italian food is the best because there is a variety. we don't have just cheese, crepes or paella. we have much more.
@Riverlover68 McDonald's has delicious food that should not be abused. Many americans and people of other countries have abused all of this fast food, and that is why we have such a weight problem especially in the US. People just need to learn to control their appetites and the fast food giants have to give more warning of what the people are eating. So fuck you. :P
Mc Donalds is not food. There is no value to it even in small portions. You may as well eat dog poop in small portions. Such a chemical industry posing as food... is just an institution for the flavoring industry to unload their products. If you lost weight because of such a diet, that does not mean it was a healthy weight loss... It could be malnutrition. Did I read it correctly? You wer in japan and the best you could do was Mc Donald's? Shame.
Learn how to prepare healthy whole simple foods at home America. Use the Mediterranean diet as an inspiration. So funny, I see people waiting in what easily looks like 15 minute line waits at fast food windows---but will not take 5 minutes to get their lazy ass out of the car, walk into the nearest grocery store and seek a better alternative. Just sad pathetic state of people buying into the rubbish myth that it costs a lot to eat well..and takes too much time! See what Jamie Oliver says. Learn!
mcdonalds is good to have maybe...three or four times a month but people need to start eating more healthy food like A P P L E S and O T H E R F R U I T
oh and btb subway is waaaay not healthy because one woman walked in there who was alergic to meat bllod and the guy who made her sandwich had just been cutting meat and she had a massive allergic reaction. this was at the didcot one so NEVER got there for youre own safety O.K?
McD's aint the problem, its the lack of exercise. I moved to Japan, couldnt eat the food here, so I lived off McD's for a month and LOST 10 lbs. Its from more calories out than in. I walked a lot more because I didnt have a car.
Don't Care if people have a choice of what they eat. it's easy to NOT solve problems with eating. McDonald's IS destroying America and taking its Toll on the world
stop acting like obesity over the entire world is caused by mcdonalds. most people dont even eat mcdonalds but maybe once every few months, they go to better places. taco bell, sonic, pizza hut, kfc. its everything. obesity is a choice. people choose to eat fat food and not exercise
It's less of McDonalds and more of the fact the America's got a divey burger joint, or Chinese food place, or Taqueria, or fried chicken place, or pizza place, or some sort of fatty fast food place on literally almost EVERY corner of almost EVERY street. Most blocks have several independent fast food "restaurants" on their single block, and these places are always busy and full... It's something I've noticed within the last 3 years I've been in America. There're just too many fast food dives.
and there are muscular marines pointing guns at people to force them to order a triple king of calories with a caramel shake instead of a turkey salad with garlic yoghurt and a cramberry juice???
No.. we take a toll on the world for falling for it. It's a risk for the children who follow by our example. The same children that freak out and cry everytime they say the golden arches.
people can eat fast food its not the fast food industries fault for people being obese the people have a choice to eat what they want and exercise as much or as little as they want.
@JBluvr4alltime yeah and it's made with as cheap ingredients as possible. those buns they use for the burgers? They have sugar in them. SUGAR. who the hell needs sugar on bread. They're also made with BLEACHED wheat to make them look white. not kidding. The meat? Cheap meat pumped with antibiotics and rBGH hormones during when the animal was alive, to artificially cause it to get larger and grow more muscle for human consumption.
crazyboyxx when you said people are afraid to stop eating junkfood because they can't cook you couldn't be more wrong, the reason people eat junk food is so they won't have to eat any healthy garbage
It's ok to have fast food occasionally, but people should have healthy foods more and more. I mean check out Subway. Check out Jared. he lost all that weight from Subway. The food was good and he lost weight. Think about it......
Eh, I barely eat mcdonalds, It has a bad meaty taste. I like In n' Out Better, the Fries are Low-cal and stuff. My state also put a ban on new Fast food Restaurants, because 56% of adults are fat ._.
...If you travel to Europe, Asia, Africa, or South America, you don't see the extremely obese save for people with serious thyroid conditions or some other serious health anomaly.
america's obesity trend is starting to show up elsewhere. there are some newsweek articles on obese china kids, and yea these kids are also as obsesssed with fast food as their western counterparts.
even if you have a high metabolism rate, there is a limit to how much of sodium, fats (trans or saturated or not), calories and stuff that a person can take in a day. nobody can eat 3 meals a day at mcdonalds or any fast food chain and not get unhealthy.

...while the siblings can pig out on any and everything without gaining an ounce.
To say McDonald's makes you fat is overly simplistic. However, I agree with the movie maker that fast food and processed food (particularly American food) is devoid of nutrients and is making us sicker, fatter, weaker, and, perhaps, dumber!
This is a bit misleading...I know someone who still eats at McDonald's almost everyday. He is as skinny as a rail. He is not very healthy, but he is skinny and he eats nothing but fast food.
Metabolism is the big issue with obese people. That and usually a lack of consistent exercise. That said, I know plenty of "active" people who are a little "thick." Food affects different people differently. All of us know a family where 1 kid has to watch everything he or she eats...
From personal experience I was eating fast food everyday. My weight had ballooned to a whopping 282lbs of pure fat. I was eating Burger King, Taco Bell, KFC, and other restaurants on a daily basis.
I felt horrible about myself and decided to make a change. I started a consistent workout schedule, removed ALL fast food from my diet, removed ALL sodas from my diet, no candy, less carbs, more fruits and vegetables, veggy burgers, lots of water, and so forth.
Yes, I have. I was unhappy about my situation in life and eating fast food was easy and fast. I thought I could eat as much of that great as I wanted and wouldn't be affected by it.
How wrong I was. Fast food is just another way for people to get fat.
You shouldn't cut fast food out of your diet permanently if you have it every once in a while you'll be perfectly find because dieting 24/7 is how eating disorders start
I think banning the food is going a little too far. But then again they process the food. It's ok to eat it once and a while but everyday is like slowly killing yourself.
sjm8890: you IDIOT. I enjoy McDonalds every so often and I could kick your ass and run 10 miles after I did it! My pecs are rock hard and I'm in shape. You people are such fools - geez!
I just watched this documentary yesterday. Very good film. I did a Google search for legal chemicals in McDonald's food. Got nothing. Care to share some of the major ones?
BTW I remember the main character, Morgan Spurlock, actually FELT GOOD after eating McDonald's food. In other words he was ADDICTED to it! Scary.
babysittertube of course you didn't find legal chemicals in McDonalds food why the hell would people from McDonalds say they put chemicals in there food on the internet
This type of food has been proven to hold drug like addiction substance, and so should be banned. Theres a special ingredient that makes you want to have more of it.
People seem to forgett that homemade fast food like a self made bruger with fresh vegetables and not too much sauce and fats is acctually allright. But the thing bout fast food is that they put so many chemical stuff into the food that it produces things like addiction and of course health problem if u eat that rubbish everyday. Nobody died of eating fast food once a month. But you obviously cant get a six pack eating fast food. So fast food is ok once in a while but everyday is suicide
That's like a public information film, a warning; all the more poignant because no words are spoken. I really like the music as well. A little creepy at the end with the shot of the cemetery.
Ehehe, actually, all the images are taken from the film, including that one of the cementery!! A little apocalyptic, but not too far from reality. ^_^
The music is by our great Italian composer Nicola Piovani, and was used for a spot of Barilla spaghetti here in Italy: that's why I've chosen it... lol
good video, have a lady down the street looks lika any of those ppl, he van smells like mcy d's as she rolls by, but thats ok she getting gastric bypass so she doesnt have to improve her health to get smaller, think super size me 2 should be about over weight ppl getting sugery before nutrition and fitness
mengshukwaun if that lady doesn't diet or exercise after the bypass surgery or if she has a bad thyroid the gastric bypass operation would've been useless
I love it! Done with such up close where I want to eat it and seeing the effects of it and who and what are the causes in the matter of fast food. I will ever eat it again. I am choosing a healthy and vegan life. Why if you know..why do you do? Thank you for the video
You definately capture alot of people who are innocent victims of the nasty fast food... People such stop eatting or think about what they are doing to their precious body. My mind, body and soul is so important. Awesome Job! All the very best to you!
why did the people sue mcdonals?? its there funking fault they put that shit in there bodies whats mcdonalds have to blame? no one forced them to eat it. and everyone knows its bad for u
No shit! Why didnt they say "no" to fast food!! I think I might sue budweiser for my drinking habit, or sue Malboro for my lung cancer.... Fuckin idiots
Ok, but the point is that people has to be given the CULTURAL INSTRUMENTS to protect themselves, and have than the right to choose what's right for themselves.
This documentary was meant to INFORM people about the risk they run eating all that junk food.
Ignorance is dangerous, and it's important to give messages to people in this sense.
This is emotional...its sad how most of us treat our bodies...we would never hurt it, put a gun to it or deliberately kill ourselves, yet, thats what we are basically doing when we stuff ourselves with unhealthy food (if you wanna call it that) such as this.
It's true, some people's body adapt and get used to eating a whole bunch of junk food. Of course at firs they are very unhealthy, but a few years later, they adapt. Of course, this only happens to about 1 in 1000000 people, so if you want my advice stay away from fast food.
I read that a DoubleCheese Burger contains 750calories or something like that, DEFNITELY in the 700s, and that it would take 65-75 minutes on the treadmill to work it off!!
I'm passionate about healthy living and exercise; it beats being a chocoholic every time (I used to be one and I wasn't very happy). If you have any toning/definition tips that won't cost anything I'd be happy to hear them.
actually i feel so sad for being this way i am not too fat and too thin but still like McDonald's but not having a super size meal !! even having ther fries is a bad idea
you know that even in kuwait not just McDonald's ther is Bergur King KFC Hardies and so on its a really bad way to eat too much and in a daily way !! so u may eat whatever u want from these resturants but not everyday and not an XXL meals =)
Morgan no aumento considerablemente de peso, pero era muy evidente que estaba poniendo en riesgo su salud, asi que el problema no es si son gordos o no. el problema es cuando uno esta tan excedido de peso y no hace nada por mejorar su situacion.
thats not intierly acreate if u eat shit and exercise it will just cause a heartattack or somthing higher blood pressure higher cholestrol everything u get it will cause a heart attack or somthing if your over weight and exercise like a work out or running or a spot
mcdonalds is nothing but waste.

I just watched this documentary yesterday. Very good film. I did a Google search for legal chemicals in McDonald's food. Got nothing. Care to share some of the major ones?
BTW I remember the main character, Morgan Spurlock, actually FELT GOOD after eating McDonald's food. In other words he was ADDICTED to it! Scary.

babysittertube of course you didn't find legal chemicals in McDonalds food why the hell would people from McDonalds say they put chemicals in there food on the internet

This type of food has been proven to hold drug like addiction substance, and so should be banned. Theres a special ingredient that makes you want to have more of it.
luigi12356 3 years ago
People seem to forgett that homemade fast food like a self made bruger with fresh vegetables and not too much sauce and fats is acctually allright. But the thing bout fast food is that they put so many chemical stuff into the food that it produces things like addiction and of course health problem if u eat that rubbish everyday. Nobody died of eating fast food once a month. But you obviously cant get a six pack eating fast food. So fast food is ok once in a while but everyday is suicide

That's like a public information film, a warning; all the more poignant because no words are spoken. I really like the music as well. A little creepy at the end with the shot of the cemetery.
s0352mount 3 years ago
Ehehe, actually, all the images are taken from the film, including that one of the cementery!! A little apocalyptic, but not too far from reality. ^_^
The music is by our great Italian composer Nicola Piovani, and was used for a spot of Barilla spaghetti here in Italy: that's why I've chosen it... lol

Ok, but the point is that people has to be given the CULTURAL INSTRUMENTS to protect themselves, and have than the right to choose what's right for themselves.
This documentary was meant to INFORM people about the risk they run eating all that junk food.
Ignorance is dangerous, and it's important to give messages to people in this sense.

Yes, in a certain manner it's like that.
Let's hope people will realize it's so wrong to get accostumed to these bad ways of eating, and there are many ways to ruin themselves.

It's true, some people's body adapt and get used to eating a whole bunch of junk food. Of course at firs they are very unhealthy, but a few years later, they adapt. Of course, this only happens to about 1 in 1000000 people, so if you want my advice stay away from fast food.

I read that a DoubleCheese Burger contains 750calories or something like that, DEFNITELY in the 700s, and that it would take 65-75 minutes on the treadmill to work it off!!

es una cuestion de salud, no de estetica.
Morgan no aumento considerablemente de peso, pero era muy evidente que estaba poniendo en riesgo su salud, asi que el problema no es si son gordos o no. el problema es cuando uno esta tan excedido de peso y no hace nada por mejorar su situacion.
