Honestly, do we really need a film documenting the fact that if you eat McDonald's three-times a day you will get fat. Don't intelligent people know this already?

In the absence of real villains, the more ubiquitous vices are easy target for the wolf criers. No, but you need a documentary to scare lawmakers into “doing something” about the “fast food menace”.

Honestly, if the truth about commercial fast food was so well understood, there wouldn't be an obesity problem in the US (which is rapidly being exported around the world, with McDonald's leading the charge). While Super Size Me takes it to the extreme, in doing so it shows just how toxic the food is at McDonald's and peers. It’s a great concept for a documentary!

It is not McDonalds that is selling you defective products. It is your schools that are selling you a defective education. They must be, if they are turning out Americans too dumb to realise that eating lots of food makes one fat. Jeff, you’ve got it wrong. It is not McDonalds that is selling you defective products.

But I definitely disagree with Jeff's statement "you need a documentary to scare lawmakers into doing something about the fast food menace". The lawmakers have absolutely no role to play here. It is upto the people to make their own decision about their own lifestyle. I am even opposed to the government interfering with tobacco and liquor companies.

It is easy get trapped into the ease with which one can obtain cheap food. It applies to those poor who are working 2 jobs, busy single moms/dads to super-busy professionals. They don't have enough time to feed themselves the 'right' food. It is not only a stupid people problem. I think this documentary is a good eye-opener for everyone.

McDonald's does offer healthy, low-calorie food as the TCS review shows with examples. Parag, it is not a stupid-people problem, but a stupid-choices problem.

Swaraj Kaushal, the poor husband of Sushma Swaraj must be heaving multiple sighs of relief. Why? Because his courageous wife had threatened to “tonsure her head, drape herself in white sari, sleep on the floor and eat only roasted grams”…
