[Future Snake Eater]

All right, so let's go over it again:

1. McD's and most other fast food is not healthy
2. Most average Americans do not get near enough exercise
3. A bad diet can be offset by the right amount of exercise
4. The filmmaker behaved like most Americans, the teacher did not
5. The teacher claims "Super Size Me" is based on unrealistic, biased claims
6. The teacher is incorrect in his assumption that most Americans DO get enough exercise

Therefore, the teacher is wrong in his attack on the movie.

6. The teacher is incorrect in his assumption that most Americans DO get enough exercise

That is the one false statement, seeing as the teacher said this:

"It's not McDonald's food that's unhealthy. It's the lifestyle you lead."

1. McD's and most other fast food is not healthy

False

2. Most average Americans do not get near enough exercise

True

3. A bad diet can be offset by the right amount of exercise

Sometimes, to some extent. It is much more the *amount* of food consumed than the type that is important.

4. The filmmaker behaved like most Americans, the teacher did not

False. The filmmaker did not behave like most Americans either.

5. The teacher claims "Super Size Me" is based on unrealistic, biased claims

Kinda, sorta. He claimed that "Super Size Me" was subjective, not objective.

6. The teacher is incorrect in his assumption that most Americans DO get enough exercise

False. He explicitly did not make that assumption, but rather the opposite.

Therefore, the teacher is wrong in his attack on the movie.

False. The teacher was correct in what he stated, and in his basic premise.

You missed the POINT. The pig in the movie blames it all on McDonald's, not HIS OWN BEHAVIOR. Yes, many Americans have slipped into that kind of lifestyle - AND IT IS ALL THEIR OWN FAULT. McDonalds SELLS hamburgers; they do not MAKE anyone eat them.
