"A classic case of a 'documentarian' whose answer came before his question. An all too common phenomenon these days. Boy gets idea- boy makes movie specifically designed to support his idea- boy calls movie documentary. Sad, and boring. In the first twentyfive minutes he is lolling about in his vehicle after a McDonald's meal, moaning and groaning. Who is surprised at the end that he is depressed and lethargic? Yes, people who eat McDonald's every meal, every day are fat and unhealthy. This statement is no shocker and the people interviewed on the streets in the early portion of this movie say as much. At that point he could have shut down production and said to himself 'yeah common sense prevails'. Alas he insists on proceeding with his asinine 'experiment'. 30 days later the man who didnt eat fast food prior (his girlfriend is a vegan chef, so its safe to say he isnt eating a lot of burgers) is heavier, and less healthy in almost every way. If thats a shocker you should enjoy the heck out of this waste of film. Or, if you are sitting there reading this enjoying a bowl of quinoa and tofu with acai berries, queue this one up and get high on a mega dose of self-satisfaction."
