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.

>>
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.

So what's your point? Dirtboy and I came to that conclusion a while ago. Of course it's the individual's responsibility--my separation from the pack on this item was on who was more accurately portraying the realistic American lifestyle and its subsequent implications on health.
