A woman named Soso Whaley (no, that's not a Michael Moore alias!) is filming a "rebuttal" to "Super Size Me." She also ate at McDonald's exclusively for a month, only she did it in a more reasonable way. She varied her diet--sometimes eating hamburgers, sometimes eating chicken, sometimes salad--and she didn't force herself to eat every morsel and didn't follow some ridiculous "must take Super Size if offered" rule. In other words, she took a reasonable approach and didn't make a glutton of herself.

Her story can be found here, and her website is here.

I've heard the liberal marching orders to go see this movie. I actually tried to see it for free and it was "sold out". None of the recent previews I went to were anywhere near 60% full. This was an "important" film.

I won't pay to see this (even the critics admit it is heavy handed). I don't eat McDonald's (maybe I do 2 times a year on a long road trip, but no fries). I am not worried about being offended about fast food restaurants. This is an anti-meat film. Maybe Atkins Inc. needs to do an anti-Grain food pyramid film. All those carbs makes for fat Americans (and that was officially sanctioned by the government under Bubba).

I can't do "no carbs", I can't do "no sugar" (although if I were diabetic I could force myself to). I can do "moderation". I need to do "exercise" as well.

There are a lot of fat vegans. How is this if the food is so healthy?

I've heard about her. She brings up some good counterpoints and it's great to see that people are not letting Spurlock's film be the final word on the subject.
