Just got back from seeing it. Its a great/funny/informative documentary about the causes of obesity the United States.

Morgan Spurlock informs his viewers about the motives behind the fast food corporations( mostly Mcdonalds) selling such salty, high fat foods with little regard for human health. While going on a 30 day binge in which he only eats Mcdonalds were he goes from being a healthy middle age man to a borderline diabetic.

40 days after this film premiered at Cannes, Mcdonalds announced that they were putting an end to there supersize slogan and intoduced a bunch of new salads.

Watch the Trailer

DEFINITELY worth watching
i gives it a 10 out of 10
 
I've wanted to see it. I probably will get to.

I hope the movie will help people realize that, although McDonalds is a seriously horrible company, its still your fault for eating the food.

I agree with most of what your saying, people should have the self discipline to not eat there but theres a reason I cant go on the net, turn on my tv, or walk to school without seeing Mcdonlads influence. Mcdonlads wouldn't be half as large as it is today if it wasn't constantly drilled into our heads that we should eat there.
 
Have you ever read Fast Food Nation? Because you should!

The things that are done in the way most fast food chains are run, and maintaned are just sick.
 
Man... When he puked out the window... I laughed so damn hard :E

I've read it. Unbelievable stuff.
 
Also the Corporation looks really good, I'll prolly see it tomorrow.
 
I know a guy who used to gut fish. Story goes they send the fish itself away to restaurants and crap, then the leftovers/entrails go to McDonalds. Wouldn't be surprised, and their Chicken nuggets taste like fecking paper =/

Will look out for a NZ release, otherwise I'll rent it out later on :P
 
I could care less about what the hell McDonalds (or any fastfood place for that matter) does unless it starts killing people directly. If it drives you nuts just eat elsewhere. :D
 
I thought I was the only person in the world that doesn't like mcdonalds. I swear those chicken nuggets make me want to throw up if I eat them more than once within like a year. They're so gross.

The only thing I liked about Mcdonalds was the pizza, then they stopped making it.

I heard Mcdonalds is stopping the Super Size anyways though...

A lot of people on these boards are euros, and don't realize how bad it is over here with people over-eating..it's so bad.

My generation is just grown up in the mentality that "it's only $0.49 extra for nearly twice as much fries/pop? Oh what the hell give er to me." (I don't know the exact figures)

I don't eat at mcdonalds or many fast food places like that very often. I do love pizza though...
 
Have you heard the new advert for the Chicken McNuggets (on british TV)?

'Now made with delicious chicken breast!' - Advert

What was it made from BEFORE?!
 
haha, chicken feet!

I know they say "Now made with white meat!"

They taste exactly the same to me....and that's not a good thing...
 
It's not that funny, I eat at McDonalds....

I like the McFlurries, but I feel like an idiot asking for one. And I always get the wiseguy cashier:

"I'd like a chicken sandwich, please"
"A what?"
"A chicken sandwich."
"I don't know what you mean."
*sigh* "A McChicken sandwich please."
"Ohhhh, a McChicken sandwich..."

I hate it when that happens. I feel like an idiot putting 'Mc' in front of every order.

Next time i'm going to get back at them, and order a McBigMac, with lage McFries and a McRegular coke. See how they like that!
 
It's funnier to order confusing items, or to take advantage of their robot mentality.

Last time I ordered a happy meal, when they asked what drink I said 'a large coke' (you're only allowed a regular drink!). He went and got it for me! No extra charge!

Ordering a 'small medium fries' or a 'large regular orange coke' is funny if you just want to get on their nerves. Watching them hunt for the button on the till for 'Orange Coke' just makes my day...
 
yeah you ppl should watch this, it was funny AND scary as hell
 
Yeah, the cashiers are idiots, half the time I go there they **** up my order, most of the time to my benefit so no complaints :)
 
I haven't had any trouble with my orders as of late at any place.

Then again, the only thing that's confusing is I get my chicken burger plain...
 
Last time I went to macDs she (typical spotty teenage mcdonalds cashier) f'cked up my order, but instead of givin me the fries I didn't want, she just threw em in the bin.... WHY?!?!?!
 
And by that do you mean....you got your order, brought it back to your table, and then said you didn't want them?

Because they're probably not allowed to serve food that was already served.
 
No I wasn't at the table, was at the till... I asked for a coke, 2 cheeseburgers and a mcflurry, and she went and got a coke, 2 cheeseburgers and some fries... So i said I dont want fries, i want a mcflurry!! so she says "aight sorry" and then chucks the fries in the bin.... and i'm like... errrr OK, there are people in the world that would have sold their mothers for them fries...
 
That's very weird...

She could of just saved them for the next person.

People almost always get fries with their order anyways...so it's not like they'd sit there for very long.

Kinda true, but most people want their fries fresh.. but McDonalds fries suck compared to Burger King..
 
Yeah, I love BK fries. I love BK milkshakes too, and BK burgers. Guess you pay for what you get, though. BK so expensive ;(
 
Well she could of just dumped them into that big bin of fries where they make them...that'd keep them warm.

Hurghhhhhhhhhh :x
 
Haha, Maddox owns! That site is flippin' hilarious.

**FYI, read his article on Garfield.
 
I hate McDonalds, but their fries are gorgeous. They're the only edible thing on the menu. I only eat there when there's no where else, but some of my friends go almost every night :x
 
Anyone who has an emotional bond with McDonald's, or anyone who can relate anything they love about life to a company that sells deep fried processed chicken meat should be stabbed in the face. The only bond this campaign is rekindling is that of my ass to the toilet. I'd rather have my skin sand blasted off than eat another pig rectum sandwich from McDonald's. -maddox


:thumbs: couldent have said it better.

it's funny how they got sued by hindus for saying they got rid of the animal fat oil when makeing them, but didnt change the fact that they season them with shredded cow. :thumbs:

red rooster + kfc all the way, your right bout maccas, not so bad in aus
