* CaptainObviousAesop: Eating 5000 calories a day will make your health awful no matter what you're eating. The sum total of nutrients you're taking in are what affects your health, not whether or not those nutrients came in a burger.
* DontShootTheMessage: As pointed out by several reviews, most notably [[https://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/36515/fat-head/ this one]], whatever good points the film may have had become lost in its [[HolierThanThou condescending tone]], Tom Naughton's [[BiasSteamroller open hatred of Morgan Spurlock]], and several moments of hypocrisy[[note]]For example, Naughton accuses Spurlock of engaging in ManipulativeEditing, only to do it himself by omitting key bits of information, such as the fact that he increased his exercise level to several times that of the average American, dined at a wide variety of fast food franchises, and selected uncommon food options.[[/note]].
