A story about this — 3 years ago
Totally unscientific and slanted. Spurlock’s approach is seriously flawed and he doesn’t seem to have a grasp on basic science. Um, putting McDonald’s food in glass jars will show us how it breaks down in our bodies? Even a first grader knows about stomach acid.
I also feel like he is preying on the same lack of general knowlege of nutrition, health and science that he blames the food industry for. Critical thinkers and those with even rudimentry health knowledge could rip his whole “experiment” apart.
Totally reactionary and without any solutions offered.
And are the people he says are most in danger even watching this? Can they afford the ticket?

I would encourage you to
read some of the other reviews to answer your last question.
Your opinions are completely valid.

The "food in the jar" thing...
I thought the point of that was to show how many preservatives and chemicals are in the food. I really don’t think he was saying “this is what is happening in your stomach.”
I agree with you on the unscientific experiment however. I think the “results” were really exaggerated.

re: food in the jar-he kept saying things like “if it does this in the jar, imagine what it is like in your body”, which to me, draws a clear comparison.
