"SuperMarket Me" - A documentary on my health problems from eating at
the supermarket. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Jan 27, 2004 I coducted a study of the effects of eating food only from American supermarkets. The piece is intended to reveal the nature of the problem of obesity in America. Over the thirty day period my health deteriorated rapidly. My cholesterol went up by 59 points, I had problems with my vision, I was depressed and vomiting, I lost confidence in myself, and I considered becoming a woman. The documentary reveals the source of the health problems in America: fatty foods, sugar-rich foods, insufficient vegetables, mentholyptus, and mints. The result of eating these foods caused my blood pressure to increase by 14 pounds per square inch. By the third day, the vomiting I endured was so frequent and spontaneous that people called me "projectile boy". I am submitting my 184 minute feature production to the Cannes Film Festival, in the hopes that it will get noticed big directors like Steven Speilberg, James Cameron, Raymond Martino, and Nacho Vidal. Oh by the way, I only ate corned beef, heavy cream, butter, kosher salt, and sudafed. But it was all purchased from American supermarkets. I call it "The American Supermarket Diet". Does it seem like crappy logic to anyone else? McDonalds has salads, parfaits, the mclean burger, and probably other stuff I don't know about because I never eat there myself. (I remember the salads were actually very good.) You can eat only mcdonalds for thirty days and end up looking even better than Jared. |

I just looked it up at usenet.com. It's where people make posts like "hitler was right!!" Funny that it's called "trolling"- I mean trolls are passively evil but doing something like that would is pretty active... |

The McLean burger was introduced in 1990 and discontinued in 1996, not because it was "cruddy," but because people didn't go to fast food outlets for low-fat food. I had one once. I expect the 2/3rds reduction of fat was that it had no mayonnaise-based sauce or cheese. |

And that's why, in spite of what's-his-name's contention that you can eat a healthy meal at McDonalds, the docu-editorial was valid. People don't go there to eat that kind of stuff, they go for the burgers and fries. Brian Rodenborn |

It is interesting to contrast what people eat today with what was the norm for my middle class family growing up: three meals a day, each with a protein, a veggie and some bread, and a snack before bed. Cake, pie, pizza, and any fast or restaurant food was a special treat with maybe a monthly appearance. -- Scott Johnson "Always with the excuses for small legs.

I think the film maker putting out 'Supersize Me' at the Canne's film
festival was actually trying to make a statement about society in general and the fact that many people don't really consider the health dangers of eating unhealthy everyday. Big Macs and Meatlover's pizza have become an every day part of life for many Americans and I think the documentary's bizarre experiment was designed to shed light on how we overlook the dangers of fast food because it has become so woven into our lifestyle. Drunk driving is not new but years ago, it was largely overlooked until awareness of the dangers became a national passion. Cigarette smoking was acceptable until public awareness increased about the dangers. Without spending any tax payer monies or putting anyone at risk but himself, the film maker is just exposing people who may not spend much time thinking about what they eat to the dangers of overdoing unhealthy food. I think it is a great film for kids, especially like my son who can eat anything and still lose weight. He may not get fat but who knows what his arteries look like or will look like when he hits middle age. Your parody, while most amusing, addresses individuals making choices and being accountable. Unless, of course, it isn't a parody and you are really considering becoming a woman. Now, that would make a really interesting documentary. j "mrbog" wrote in message om...
