Super Size Me

Did anyone else watch this in school?

rock and roll mcdonald’s was the best part

finding out this whole thing wasn’t factual later on in life made me mad bc why did we have to watch it then. he was an alcoholic and sexual harassed women. and the way he went about it was dumb bc you can meal plan at McDonalds but as a freshman in hs I enjoyed it

dont know how i’d feel about it now but i watched it when i was like 7 at home and i thought it was pretty entertaining then

When I was in high school watching this in health class we all thought if we didn’t change how we ate we were going to be dead by 30. Even the bigger guys in my class (who played football) thought they were goners much sooner than us averaged sized guys.

Watching this again I will say it is very interesting seeing all the stuff that goes into our bodies and how it really affects us. But I will say that when I was in school that when I was growing up the food portions got smaller so I would rely on junk food, maybe a small bag of chips or a candy bar to get me through the afternoon. So yes lunch may have gotten “healthier”, it wasn’t keeping us fuller as it should have. There was a small portion of kids that that may have been their only meal.

I didn’t agree with that guy whose uncle was 240 and died because he was so overweight. I’m close to that weight and I would say I am, for the most part, healthy…so just because you are a certain weight doesn’t mean you are doomed. Yes fast food probably isn’t the greatest for you, but it’s how you portion yourself and incorporate better foods…yada yada I’ll get off my soap box. I will say that you should check this out. Its very interesting

Sensational for its time but dulled with it.
