Nice find, love the low budget docs. I was always annoyed at the fact people acted like Supersize Me was this holy grail, eye opening experience, when it's premise pretty much states the obvious of what h appends when you eat foods high in fat and at the volume he was consuming it all.

Will watch while eating a quarter pounder and a large drink.

Eat over 4000 calories a day. Get really fat. Somehow impress people.

"Well, what's interesting is that Naughton shows that Spurlock couldn't have consumed the amount of calories he claimed to in Super Size Me. "

Oh? I've never actually seen Super Size Me. Should I watch that first to fully appreciate the thrashing that Naughton gives it or is "Fat Head" still good on it's own?

You'd have to eat ~24lb worth of apples to reach 5000 calories, that's close to impossible.

Fast food isn't inherently bad, but it allows people to consume amounts of calories that you just aren't able to reach with "normal" dietary habits. Whether you blame obesity on the individual being too stupid to choose a proper diet or on corporations/advertising/society for creating artificial motivators to eat more of this stuff will ultimately depend on your political leanings.

Just finished watching it, great film! I got it over bittorrent (btjunkie.org).

I watched about a half of the film and it's pretty awesome. I take back what I said about it not being a totally realistic scenario. I find the guy to be very honest and he begins to poke holes in Super Size me at which I never watched the movie myself but it's just awesome.

The fact he cuts some carbohydrates out of his diet isn't so bad but I kinda wish he'd just get a typical fast food meal to see if a person who eats at a fast food restaurant on a daily bases for a month can maintain good health; I suspect you can.

@Agent Matt their could be money made in this film if that guy got a few fast food restaurant to endorse and promote his film he could be seeing some serious cash. I just do not think a Fast food restaurant would at first risk there reputation on something that could potential backfire after seeing success I think they would be more willing to do such things. This would put that guy from Super Size me on the chopping block.

I think this guy that made Fat Head could seriously push farther into the fast food chain myth and possible make a longer film with the endorsement of fast food chains. I'm a big fan of this movie now.

Ez, was it Food, Inc? That movie is a load of shit.

That rings a bell Roxette, i think it was Food, Inc

They really play on the "if you knew how it was made, you wouldn't like it." Of course, people who don't automatically believe everything a movie tells them don't care and still eat meat.

I know how it's made. I even hunt, and process the meat I get. I like the taste of meat and I'm not going to stop eating meat just because someone says it's bad. Being a medical student I can tell you meat is perfectly ok to eat but of course like anything else in this world if you eat to much of something it can be harmful.

These Veg people think their on some higher plane because they don't eat meat but in fact they still kill plants to get their nutritional needs. Plants have feelings to! Plants just can't talk or cry when they are brutally slaughter by us evil humans!!!

If science comes up with a alternative way to produce meat that doesn't involve killing animals and it's economically feasible to do so I may try it out. I'm not going to give up hunting or anything but I'll try out synthetically grown meat if it ever comes out.
