This movie is gross. "Really gross". But the reality of it is that it is also true. I admire Morgan Spurlock's bravery in undertaking this, and his determination even in the face of possibly permanent health risks. I'm not sure I could have done it... I know that he's taken a chunk out of McD's business, and a few others, which is totally awesome. It's a pity it wasn't as permanent as it should have been...
That being said, there was a little problem with his method...
I do not think he should have adjusted his exercise regimen from what it was normally. That would have isolated the variable to his diet. His results are thusly inflamed from what they would have been. I would like to know just how much of his health problems were related to the diet and how much was due to lack of exercise. Both are problems in our nation which need addressing; but it would have been good, from a scientific point of view, to have limited himself to one variable in order to draw more direct conclusions for that one variable.
That isn't to say his results are really wrong, per se. Just more indirect.
It is a movie that everyone should see. Since this is free, there is no real excuse not to (unless you don't watch any television and don't use the internet. In which case, you wouldn't be reading this. Not that anyone is anyway.)
