For "Super Size Me," director Morgan Spurlock ate nothing but food from McDonald's restaurants over 30-day period, and if asked whether he wanted the larger, "supersize" meal, he always said yes.

Let's go over this real careful..morgan is an idiot..no one..not even myself at my most reckless young life ate at mcdonald's for 30 straight days and asked for the largest portions..I guess we could make a documentary showing people putting guns to their head and blasting their heads off and blaming the gunmakers..an idiot is an idiot..or in this case a morgan..

These people must be stopped..when idiots like morgan can make your choices of food, lifestyles, they will not stop until they have complete control of you...

I'm certain that before and during the 30 day period there was no doubt on how the film would look. There was no chance that the outcome would be less than hyperbole.

His girlfriend is vegan and he has largely given up meat. Draw your own conclusions.

Meanwhile, left leaning MTV does show "some" restraint. As I asked, aren't they worried about conservative sponsors?

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.
