* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: A number of critics compared the vomiting scene to the way heroin addicts often throw up when using their drug of choice. Spurlock seems to be saying that fast food is just as addictive as heroin.

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: A number of critics compared the vomiting scene to the way heroin addicts often throw up when using their drug of choice. Spurlock seems to be saying that fast food is just as addictive as heroin. (Although unless Spurlock was forcing himself to throw up, this was almost certainly unintentional. It's much more likely his body was just reacting to having food which was much more unhealthy than it was used to eating, given Spurlock was a rather strict vegan before filming this movie.)

''Super Size Me'' inspired a great deal of criticism from the scientific community, including several counter-documentaries (such as ''Film/FatHead'') which pointed out serious flaws with Spurlock's film, such as the fact that ''he'' was a vegan before the supposed experiment and not just his then-girlfriend like the film implies, thus explaining his more extreme reactions to suddenly eating several cheeseburgers a day, or that his then-undisclosed alcoholism likely contributed to his health problems during the experiment.

The following year, Spurlock released a reality show called ''30 Days'', which had a similar structure to the film and involved people living a different lifestyle to what they're accustomed to for 30 days. This included Spurlock living on minimum wage, a conservative Christian living with a Muslim family, a straight man living in a gay community, and a mom living the college binge drinking lifestyle. The show ran for three seasons.

* ManipulativeEditing: The film leaves out some important context that would help explain Spurlock’s visceral reaction to his new diet. The most obviously, even at the time, misleading element of the film is making it seem like only Alex was a vegan. Changing a diet so radically so quickly would make anyone sick. Spurlock’s later admission to a lifelong struggle with alcoholism also adds another wrinkle of context in hindsight. Especially because the doctor at the end even says his liver resembles an alcoholic’s.
