[Ian Meyer <ianmeyer AT mac.com>]

the simple fact that he knows someone who supposedly went on McD's only 
and lost 30 pounds and can run father completely invalidated the movie, 
durrr

nevermind that this was well documented with medical records, doctors, 
etc.

furthermore, nowhere in the talk about Supersize Me (I havent seen 
it...yet) have I seen that it points fingers at anyone but the public 
and McDonalds. And nothing about "Nanny State" needing to fix anything. 
More like the corporation is in it solely for the money, regardless of 
the consequences on their customers and the people need to realize how 
terrible the food is for them and stop eating so much shit.
