...the Michael Moore remark. Morgan Spurlock is not full of himself, and the real target of his film is *not* McDonald's but the fast food way of life that's being trained into us. Moore is not that subtle. Not subtle at all! He wields a frying pan.Hey! Let's ask MM to make a docu on obesity, huh?

Follow Ups:
I found Spurlock to be too ingratiating. His agenda is just different than Moore's (and it's one that more people can agree with) so you don't feel he was too heavy handed because you agree with his ideals. Had you agreed with Moore's ideas, you wouldn't feel he was as heavy handed as you do.If his target was all fast food and not just McD's, why did he only eat McD's food 3 meals a day. Why not pizza, tacos, fish and chips or other just as bad for you foods?
Honestly, "subtle" is not a word I'd use to describe this movie.
I donīt.Regards
What they got instead was a good-natured (*not* like MM), wise and funny cine-essay on the modern origins of obesity -- in government schools!Had he diluted it with Dominoe's etc. it never would have drawn the expectant throngs.
