I Think this movie is for people that really, want to say about McDonald's being terrible. [not saying if it is or isn't] Its in my opinion that not everyone eats McDonalds three times a day and if they do they truly need to rethink life, and what they are eating. Truly McDonalds lacks...but I don't think it teaches bad nutrition I mean come on if you decide to go eat at McDonald's thats on you. Its what you decide to scarf down. No one makes a person, come on people have to have self control and stop blaming it on the cereal company, or the milk company or McDonalds or Arby's or whoever...Yes America has an obesity problem but its because of a lack of self control, a person can cook themselves a burger and fries three times a day and become obese or gain a little weight. Honestly, it reminds me of those parents who sued a cereal company because they advertised on Nickelodeon, yes kids will want food that's shiny or sparkly or sweet but its your job as a parent to guide them and say no, especially if a kid is five or so...you help control their weight. Have a little self-control.
Discussion Points: 1.Should people have more self control and stop blaming it on companies?
It is called "selective blindness", so that is seeing what they want to see, having excusses like "it is just (checks dictionary, fails) "baby fat", he will get over it" or "she is just build heavily" or "that is muscles (though clearly fat)"...
Being away from home for so much of the year I really notice physical changes in the little uns when i get back. I ifnd it hard to see how a parent could think like that. Then again (thankfully) they are not fat, so i dont have that problem.
Might be bacause they would have to admit they are doing something wrong in their lives? Or have to admit they themselves have a problem with obesity? Donno, I myself seem to loose weight when I am not at home, which should not be a problem...
Yes its probably due to the psychological state of the parents. I think if the parents themsleves are obese, they could feel hypocritical for stopping their kids eating.
Yes, like at least one parent smoking or stuff like that. Though my mother have a habit of buying candy or stuff like that, and then eat it while she drives home (long ride), or in the evening, when my siblings are sleeping. She does share, but often (when I was living at home) she told us not to use our money on candy. I think that have changed, though. My brother have no money, because he buys candy for all of them > >....

Hehe.

Exactly. My mums side of the family all smoke (the greek side of course). My little brother got caught last year with ciggies she completely flipped and yet she smokes 20 a day. He still has to hide his smokes from her though.
I have no idea what my father would do if he found out I smoke (if I did). Somehow I have this feeling that he would punch me in the face for being stupid, but not quite sure. My mom would probably be disappointed... Oh well. Hmm, I think I should begin eating again...
Yup. I have had my share of slaps, so I think of myself as a reasonable near adult, capable of living alone, and taking care of myself. Besides I always end up with more money that I can use, so they must have taught me something right.

Indeed. My family had a great balance. On the one hand my dad was raised in Nigeria to treat kids like crap and slap them about and expect them to take care of themsleves. On the other hand my mum comes from a generation in Greece where children (especially males) are revered and never expected to do any work. I think it worked pretty well to be honest, on balance.
Not to just jump in here, but i agree with the first post, the majority of the time overweight people just lack self control in this aspect. But everyone has something they lack it in. Still I think we should have some sort of weight loss government program...
meh i mean i smoke cigars (not regularly just on occasion when im with a cpl friends just chillin)... they taste good smell good, and its pure tobacco... none of these extra nicotine and added junk to it... I mean cigarettes used to smell almost like cigars, but now they put all these chemicals in that make it nasty and make u want to throw up... Anyways i fully understand obese people.. You know the ones that are just a bit over weight... Because obese is a problem, they can't help having a low metabolism.. They could eat like 1 sandwich causing them to gain like a cpl pounds with out metabolizing any of it quickly. Its those people that are huge, and nasty, and people turn away in disgust due to there piggish nature, and size, and bad smell... HONESTLY STOP PUTTING FOOD IN YOUR MOUTH U FAT ASSES... sry bout that but its true. You may feel down and out, because u cant lose weight... but the reason u cant lose weight is cuz u scarf down like 20 burgers a day... I mean i never laugh at those people on those shows TRYING to lose weight. Yes they are fat and kinda not very attractive at the beginning of the show, but i got lots of respect for them. They're trying hard to lose weight....
As well stop blaming fast food resaurants for your problems. They provide a service for the people... Its up to u to go in and buy the food they serve... Most of these so called cases would get thrown out in Canada and pretty much every where else in the world because its retarded... Those people who sue for that kinda stuff are retarded and should get laughed outta court... Anyways u buy, u eat, ur problem, plz dont make us all involved in your dumb problem cuz we truely dont care...
