Eat right, exercise daily, live clean, die anyway...

What does it matter if people don't eat well in the United States? You have to die of something...might as well as be happy.

Morgan Spurlock does not care about the obesity problem in America, and he doesn't care about any overweight person. He only cared about making a movie and performing a stupid, dangerous stunt to sell that movie.

Any jackass will become sick if they eat the same anything every day, three times a day, for one month. That's not an experiment, that's something out of Fear Factor, so please, Mr. Spurlock, don't try to scare the audience with your bogus stunt.

The reason why there is obesity in America is because we live sedentary lives. Most people used to be on their feet for 18 hours a day in a field, tending to crops. Ever read Laura Ingalls Wilder's "Farmer Boy?" Those people ate like pigs and didn't gain weight because they worked themselves to exhaustion everyday.

People eat fast food because our economy has become so inflated that women no longer stay at home and cook meals every day. Women must work, either to support a single parent household, or to divide the cost of living with their husband.

Oh, and that processed food? It sure seems to help all of those impoverished and malnourished people in the poverty-stricken nations the U.S. aids.

So, Mr. Spurlock, please don't sit on your high horse and judge people for what they eat. Why not use your ninety minutes of film to call attention to those who can't eat and must live on the street with no home or support? Now, that's a much worthier cause.
