Until further notice
If you see the NBC interview, Stage 2 of the experiment is cutting out fast food. Which invalidates the "experiment" component, but I'm fine with that as long as he keeps it up.
Not a substitute for a formal medical consultation.
Not according to the Scientific Method. During the experiment phase in the Method the variables may change or be substituted for something else to see all relevant results.
Until further notice
Should've phrased that a little better, I guess. Ah, whatever. You get the idea.
No I don't. Are you insinuating that somehow the experiment having different phases invalidates the first phase?
Hello, NSA!
That comes with the subject. After all, it is about someone trying to refute what they perceive as a cliché of fast food poisoning our society.
Fear the cinnamon sugar swirl. By the Gods, fear it, Laurence.
"Just as planned."
As Tape says, it's a thread about somebody losing weight eating food perceived to be unhealthy. It's going to happen.

"Did you expect somebody else?"
I'm freezing! Send help!
Well, loosing weigh is not always healthy.
Until further notice
Tom: Fine, I meant to say that if the goal of the original "experiment" was to see if it was the quantity of fast food, instead of the nature of the food, that resulted in Spurlock's results, then that part of the experiment is over. If phase 2 involves cutting out fast food, it's no longer comparing the same parameters that he intended to compare in the first place. (New experiment, perhaps, if you want to call "just eating normally and counting calories and exercising" an experiment.)

"Eating normally" would include fast food, I would think.
If you read the article, it's not nearly as dramatic as it sounds. It was a 2,000 calorie daily diet and didn't exceed recommended allowances, and he also exercised. He ate salad for lunch, and a couple eggs and some oatmeal for breakfast.
Hello, NSA!
No, the thread is a link to a news article, covered with a humorous comment.The thread can go either way from there: continue the humor in the discussion or complain about fat people being oppressed and whether the implication that fat is a choice is present.
This is a problem with link-discuss articles. Nobody knows where the discussion is supposed to go. Every single one of them created recently ends in a heated debate and one even got locked. They're not allowed in OTC, so I have no idea why they are allowed here

Expect autocorrect goof-ups and missing words.
That is actually a point. Link-Discuss threads are a forum-wide rule, so this should really have gone into the Article Dump
thread.
However, I must ask that people not play backseat moderator in this manner. If you feel a rule has been violated, holler it using the yellow exclamation mark button on the post in question, and we will investigate it.
Locking up.

"Yup. That tasted purple."
Cats, that's cruel. I don't want to kill the man.
Insert witty 'n clever quip here.
