People who are insistant that they need to monitor your personal diet happened. If I wanna friggin clog my own arteries, I damn well have the right to do it. Besides, if people want more fries, they just order them. Why stop the supersizing?

I think they did away with Super Sizing after that guy did the documentary where all he did was eat Super Sized meals at McDonald's and gained a bunch of weight.

The movie "SuperSize Me" happened.
The movie was about a dude who ate nothing but MickeyDs all three meals a day for a month. He was very healthy and a fit guy and after just a day or two, his cholesterol was through the roof and so was blood pressure.
He gained alot of weight, and had health concerns for a while.
After the movie, they got rid of the Supersize and went to a healthier menu option.

supposedly it was a knee-jerk reaction to the documentary "Super Size Me" It was McDonald's way to encourage a balance diet

They got hit with all the negative publicity, that they are making people obese.. so they got rid of it, to make them look like they care about people's health.. personally I don't go to McDonald's for their salad, I go for their double cheese burger and fries... and the McRibs are back!!

The movie "Super-Size Me" shamed them into discontinuing it.
I think that's awesome.
