Other Crap

An entire blog dedicated entirely to mocking and debunking Morgan Spurlock. Morgan Spurlock Watch.

• I'm not sure whether I mentioned this before, but just in case you aren't already aware of it, Suoper Size Me is basically bunk. Oh, yeah, it's true, but meaningless, and draws the wrong conclusions. If you repeat Spurlock's experiment in every detail, but drink diet soft drinks instead, you will actually lose weight, as several journalists have already noted. What Super Size Me actually proves is this: no matter what you eat, even if you live off celery and vitamin pills, you will gain weight if you simply drink enough soft drinks to make your calorie intake greater than your calorie burn. If you take the apple and tuna fish diet that Christian Bale used to lose 60+ pounds for The Machinist, and add a dozen 16 oz bottles of Pepsi per day, you will actually gain weight.
