did Super Size Me changed fast food?

Pretty sure the Baconator came out after the doc, so no.

Absolutely. I think it truly opened some people's eyes and made them actually think about what they were putting in their bodies. It definitely helped Subway a ton.

I wish he'd have just eaten it once a day and continued to workout and do everything else normally to see what kind of effects it had. Of course if you only eat fast food and don't ever move off the couch except to get more fast food you're going to kill yourself.

Yep. Not to mention he was a die hard Vegitarian before the film. Of course his body rejected that sudden of a change in his diet, thats why he got sick on like the first or second day

healthier choices.

yes. theres a push to curb obesity and unhealthyness especially in children the last few years. Hard to do when you take away gym class and the ability to make fun of fat kids.

Just to be obnoxious.
Since 2004:
Wendy's Triple Baconator:


Burger King new "stack" options:


McDonald's double quarter pounder with cheese.


Sonic's footlong chilli cheese coney:

Documentary was proven tripe and outright lies. No evidence given when he was actually asked to verify independently everything he claimed.

in other words, he made it all up.

Go watch "Fathead" and see actual facts cited independently.

here's what one person had to say

quote:

As I reported at the time, an independent experiment was later conducted by Soso Whaley in response to ‘Super-Size Me!’. She doubled the duration of the experiment to 60 days, and ate exclusively at McDonald’s. She combined her McDonald’s diet with exercise three times a week, and – like Spurlock – ate everything on the menu including the salads and wraps, burgers and fries. She lost 18 pounds. ‘What?’, I hear you ask. ‘No gratuitous on-screen vomiting? No horrible bloating or weight gain? No nauseous babbling about how “the system is wrong”, “the system is wrong”? No doctors melodramatically telling her that she might die at any moment? What apostasy!

These have been around LONG before 2004.

I think it had a minor influence at best. Additions of healthier options at fast food restaurants were done to prepare for/hopefully head-off government lawsuits like the cigarette company lawsuits.

Attorney generals were grumbling about starting lawsuits to get money for state healthcare expenses they said were caused by burgers. So the fast food industry made healthy options available to show people have the option to eat better, healthier food.

I don't know if it's where I live now, or the fact that I am older, but I feel like the quality of food, particularly at McDonalds, has gone downhill a bunch. I think it may have something to do with the speed which McDonalds likes to showcase, instead of focusing on their quality. So I go to McDonalds almost never now.
