Was the documeentary "supersize me" fair to mcdonalds?

Answer 1

He was just showing people what could happen if you eat all of that junk food. I see nothing wrong with it. It was actually a good thing.

Answer 2

I don't know what a documeentary is. The documentary "Supersize Me" had a pretty strong onslaught against McDonalds, though.

Although, anyone who needed a documentary to figure out that fast food is unhealthy should be forced to only eat fast food until they die of a heart attack walking up the stairs for their own stupidity.

Answer 3

No. McDonald's has always made a concerted effort to offer relatively healthy foods and have changed parts of their operations to meet the health concerns of it's customers. They changed their frying oil to an oil that has no trans-fat, for example. They offer many salads including the fruit and walnut salad. How many other fast foods have a fruit selection? For a fast food restaurant, they make a better effort than any other in their industry. As in international company, they do a lot of things that other international companies dont do. They give back to the communities in which they operate. They fund programs at schools, libraries, boy and girl Scouts, help children with medical problems, and many other programs. Since they are the biggest of the international fast food companies, they tend to also be the biggest target. After 'Super-size me' came out, McD's stopped offering super-sized fries. They respond to criticizm and attempt to act responsibly. Can you say that about Burger King? Wal-Mart? McDonald's is truly one of the Good Guys.

Answer 4

I think this documentary was meant more for the people who eat that stuff all the time as oppose for it being a harsh criticism for McDonald's.
Think about it, he could have used any of the fast food places out there, but, he chosed McDonald's as the representative example of great, but fattening, foods and the effects of eating it for a month. There are people out there who cannot cook, to lazy to cook, or never really having the time to cook and they go to one of these places, not realizing that the more you eat this in a day, week, or month, the more it is going to affect your health. People feed their kids this crap up to two times a day!
So, he did not intentionally meant to hurt McDonald's, he was trying to make a point.

Answer 5

Yes and no,I say this because it showed the true facts about the lack of nutrional value,high cholesterol,saturated fat,and who knows what else.No because people make their own choices and should be aware of what is in the food they eat.You are what you eat,that is what I was always taught.The Mcdonalds corporation does many outstanding things for the community,I respect them for that.

Answer 6

A two-hour commercial featuring Ronald McDonald and friends? I don't think it hurt business for very long. I just didn't like the puking part.

Answer 7

It did target just one restaurant, but Mr. Spurlock was just trying to display an extreme fast food diet, and McDonald's is certainly the most popular fast food place.

Answer 8

It was never meant to make McDonalds look bad. People know that fast food id unhealthy and he just showed that if you keep eating unhealthy your body will blow its fuse. It's not like people think McDonalds is healthy.

Answer 9

McDonalds what a waste! It's all trash food ... even there salads are terrible for you! I am a general health food nut and let me tell ya I gained weight from there salads...and no I don't drink soda just water.

Answer 10

No it is a fake documentary.

If a person ate carrots for a month the would get sick, kidneys would shut down and there skin will begin to orange.

That idiot who made this "documentary" broke every rule in science and film making.

Answer 11

Yes
