I took this out on DVD today,and it is pretty funny and entertaining.Though the dude is kind of a dweeb.

i saw it a while ago and i enjoyed it as well. although i don't eat regularly at mcdonald's, etc. anyways, i've found i eat there even less since watching this.

i'm gonna probably watch it tonight. Hopefully it's decent

I already hated fast food, so this was just another reason. It was funny to watch McDonalds squirm when this came out.

I liked it

I hadn't eaten at McDonald's for over a year before I saw this movie. After watching it, I remembered how much I love their fries and Big Macs. Now I'm back to going there once every couple of weeks.
The Smoking Fry bonus scene was very disturbing though.

its a fun documentary. and ill have to say its been almost half a year since ive last had McDs. or any fast food for that matter.

yeah me too. i went back for the first time last week after seeing the movie. it had been many months and i only went cause it was 2am and id just gotten off work and was starving, and they were the only place open. i should've just gone right home .



That was probably the most shocking thing on the whole disc...and the fact that his liver almost failed

I enjoyed this documentary. I actually felt a little guilty when I got McDonald's the next day.

I think the entire world was stunned at the results and how quickly they occured. A good follow up is the book "Fast Food Nation" by Eric Schlosser, he's interviewed on the DVD special features. If you have a chance to check the book out, it's great.

Its not a new book BTW, but still very much relevant!

yeah ive been meaning to get that book for about 3 years now

I avoided McDonalds for a few weeks afterwards but one day I was feeling hungary and depressed and I decided to get a Big Mac and it tasted REAL good. It doesn't surprise me that a lot of people are grossed out by the place regardless of whether or not they've seen the movie. The movie is actually a much bigger comment on America, consumer culture, and obesity. Its very clever really, and as good as any of Michael Moore's flicks.

I like how they had a special moment showcasing the mcgriddle.. I love those things!!

I'm glad you mentioned the book...I really enjoyed it, too.

If you have plans to eat fast food ever again, you should read this book! You might rethink your dinner plans. I haven't seen the movie yet, but I plan to rent it soon. I never eat fast food, but I like the fact that someone is finally telling the truth about it. (Even if most people aren't listening!)

i eat fast food only once in the whole week

yeah as awful as mcdonalds food is...goddamn they make a heartstoppingly good breakfast. and the mcgriddle does kick ass. great hangover meal

Spurlock Speech Causes Stir at Pa. School Sun Mar 26, 10:48 AM ET



HORSHAM, Pa. - The filmmaker who ate nothing but McDonald's meals for a month for his Oscar-nominated film "Super Size Me" gave a profanity-laced, politically incorrect speech at a suburban Philadelphia high school, but not everyone was lovin' it.

Speaking at Hatboro-Horsham High School's first-ever health fair, Morgan Spurlock joked about the intelligence of McDonald's employees, about "retarded kids in the back wearing helmets" and teachers smoking pot in the balcony.

The special education students in the back row were led by teachers out of the hourlong presentation.

"If you put the whole package together, the use of the F-word and poking fun at teachers and the comments about special-needs students, it just wasn't appropriate," Superintendent William Lessa said.

Most of the 700 students laughed, gave him a standing ovation and mobbed him for autographs. A speech Spurlock was to make at the school later Friday night for community members was canceled.

Spurlock said he's never had a complaint after giving similar talks at other high schools and colleges. He said he had been told shortly before his appearance not to talk about McDonald's because a board member of the Hatboro-Horsham Education Foundation, which sponsored the appearance, owns a franchise.

The association's director did not return phone calls seeking comment.

"The greatest lesson those kids learned today was the importance of free speech," Spurlock said.

I'm all for free speech, but making fun of special-needs students at a speech in front of a school is out of line.

Im sure they didnt understand.
