* HardWorkFallacy: The 'tournament system' forced on chicken farmers. According to Big Chicken, it's a way for the farmers to compete fairly and rise to the top through hard work. However, it's not truly a meritocratic system since the farmer's success is subject to various random factors (right feed, faster-growing chickens, arbitrary regulations, etc.) that Big Chicken can manipulate for any or no reason. A true meritocracy would pay the farmers the market price times the amount of chicken meat they produce, i.e. what it used to be.

* BigBad: This time it's the National Chicken Council. Not only do they dictate the politics of the major chicken brands (collectively titled "Big Chicken"), but they also lock chicken farmers into a competitive system that only benefits the ones performing well.

* CallBack: Spurlock returns to [=McDonald=]'s to check out how they've supposedly changed. Not only does the [=McChicken=] tastes the same, but he has "[=McPTSD=]" from his infamous [=McDonald=]'s diet.

* IAteWhat: At Holy Chicken, a few patrons have this response when Spurlock shows a picture of the actual chicken he raised as opposed to the stock image that chicken manufacturers usually use.

* BlatantLies: In an addition to all the restaurants' marketing tactics and interior designs to creating the illusion of eating healthy, Spurlock watches an ad for Tyson where the chairman makes broad claims that the company treats their farmers with the uttermost care and respect. Cut to an ex-employee and a few chicken farmers claiming quite the opposite.

''Super Size Me 2: Holy Chicken!'' follows the making of the titular eatery as Spurlock consults with marketing and health experts on how many fast-food restaurants manipulate their customers into thinking that the food they're eating is healthy, raising the poultry himself with the help of a third-generation chicken farmer, craft a chicken sandwich that's supposedly grilled and fried (grilled chicken is much healthier than fried chicken but not as popular), and reveal dark secrets surrounding the major chicken manufacturers, all leading up to a fast-food experience that is not really healthy but transparent and honest as hell.
