Yeah, but if liberals were to admit that, then the responsibility on obesity would be on individuals, not the despised large corporations. Can't have that now, can we?
Great story...
He'll never teach in the Ivy League with that attitude.
Wow! More sanity on the net! If this keeps up, we may be on our way back toward a sane society.
Wonderful how this man is talking the talk and walking the walk. He is doing the same thing the early scientists did: Demonstrating objective reality.
His idea was good, but he lost me with the blood pressure drop ... duh, down two points?
You could take your blood pressure 5 times in a row and have way more variance than that.
I went to an afterhours clinic. I had to wait an hour an a half. The doctor was cranky and spoke with a heavy accent. I was worried about my condition. My blood pressure was 179...both the doctor and nurse warned me I was on the verge of sure death.
I assured them my blood pressure was fine.
As soon as I got home and saw my DP and my dog, I took my blood pressure. It was 118.
This statement gets the award for dumbest quote in the article. This is the only way that you can lose weight.
Of course, you'd still be healthier without the high-calorie, high-fat diet; and a little less excersize.
Well, yes, it was subjective.
I thought there was something wrong with the doctor used in the movie to explain the guy's medical results. He looked to me like he was hung over and seeking approval. But, that's just my opinion.
Same article by the same author [published in different paper] was posted yesterday: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1346285/posts
That may be, but their food is still not good for you. There's nothing wrong with eating there maybe once or twice a month, but you shouldn't eat that junk everyday. And I'm not talking about just McDonald's.
Well, no s**t, Sherlock! You just proved the point made in "Super Size Me."
SSSSHHHHHH! Don't let the secret out!
LOL THIS IS FUNNY AND BRILLIANT
McD's MAY (SHOULD) GIVE THIS GUY A GOOD $$$ TIP TOO!!!
"Some people are upset because they think I'm pandering to a huge, large corporation,"
No they're upset because he exposes the truth. "They" are the same kind of people who are afraid to put female penguins with so called "homosexual" penguins in a German zoo.
Good for him! Several of us watched this video with our homeschooled high school kids. It made for a great lesson in spotting propaganda, and the study of logic.
So very true.
Still, I'd get literally sick of McD's for longer than 2 or 3 days straight...
I don't believe these results. Exercise doesn't make that much difference in weight control. Not 13 lbs in 17 days worth. No way, no how. Maybe if he was swimming (fast) for 3-4 hours a day. Contrary to popular conception you can easily gain weight while working out hard. You don't have to starve to lose weight, but you can always eat enough crap to gain.
Fast food and no exercise will make a man fat. My hand to God, I know it's true.
Too many years Freeping with no exercise will also result in the chair-shaped ass.
West said Sayer is likely expending more energy than he's consuming.
Good thing she's registered by some government drone. Otherwise, nobody would believe such an outlandish statement.
Once again, my tagline is relevent.
this diet would work for me, since I hate McDonald's and would eat very little food if I could only eat from there. Breakfast, two chicken burritos (those are pretty good) and maybe a side of fries for dinner. And I'd guess I'd have an apple pie, even though they are not as good as they used to be.
And don't tell me to have salad. I don't like salad, I never have. But Rosie Radigan's in Jersey City, NJ makes a banging Chefs Salad and the (now) world famous Flamingo Cafe makes an equally good Greek Salad.
So, if you want salad, come to Exchange Place in Jersey City. Who'd'a thunk it?
"The main reason for doing this is because my students thought (Supersize Me) was an objective piece," the 39-year-old Sayer said yesterday.
Perhaps we're just interpreting it differently. I read the above statements in the article and I see the teacher saying, "Morgan Spurlock is full of crap. You CAN eat nothing but McDonald's and be perfectly fine." However, Spurlock modeled his lifestyle on your average sedentary adult, not an obvious fitness nut like Sayer.
I suppose you could argue the objectivity of "Super Size Me" depending on whether you exercise a lot. However, since most people are more like Spurlock than Sayer, I'd say Spurlock's interpretation is more apt to the environment than Sayer's.
