History YMMV / SuperSizeMe

** Also, the movie goes into detail on related problems, such as the relative lack of heatlhy food in school cafeterias (or the ease with which a student can have a lunch consisting of, say, an entire tray of french fries), or the difficulty that someone living in the city might have with actually buying significant quantities of healthy food if they can't afford to traavel far or lack much free time outside of work.

* SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped: While there's no real denying that this is a bit of a CaptainObviousAesop (excessive fast food is harmful to your health? Really?), a case can be made for this; the movie does spend a bit of time pointing out the reasons ''why'' this is the case, some of which are not entirely what you'd expect.

* {{Anvilicious}}: While Spurlock does demonstrate the dangers of eating too much fast food, the documentary arguably does not demonize fast-food companies or the people who eat their food.
* DesignatedVillain: The movie makes [=McDonald's=] out to be a villain, even though the protagonist purposefully ignores all health advice, consumes in excess of twice the recommended calories for a sedentary male, and by all accounts actually fudged (or is unwilling to elaborate upon) the pertinent details, possibly up to consuming additional meals (at [=McDonald=]'s, mind you) just to up the score.

* UnfortunateImplications: Early in the documentary, he interviews some kids, who instantly recognize one picture--Ronald [=McDonald=]--but most of them can't guess the second one. Spurlock turns that second pic to the camera and *gasp*, it's Jesus Christ! It is possible that maybe the kids weren't raised Christian.
** You'd think non-christians still at least know what Jesus supposedly looks like. And this is the southern states we're talking about so they likely ARE Christian.

** He's showing the kind of eating habits people all over America actively do.

*** Not to mention the huge hair he found in the parfait.

* UnfortunateImplications: Early in the documentary, he interviews some kids, who instantly recognize one picture--Ronald [=McDonald=]--but most of them can't guess the second one. Spurlock turns that second pic to the camera and *gasp*, it's Jesus Christ! Um, is it possible that maybe the kids weren't raised Christian?
** Even if they were, there are numerous depictions of Christ so it could have simply been one they weren't familiar with. Even then...what does mascot pop cultural consciousness have to do with weight? It's either UnfortunateImplications or another example of Spurlock's InsaneTrollLogic.
*** It has everything to do with the movie! It shows our kids are growing up knowing more about fast food mascots, thus attracting them to McDonalds more, then they do about Politics or Religion.
