I've heard about this "documentary". It seems to be from the Michael Moore school of journalistic integrity.

While I'm certainly not in favor of a diet comprised only of fast food, who is forcing anyone to do it? Because someone is trying to sell something you have to buy it? Suppose I followed the same rules this filmmaker did and required that, for a month, I gambled every time I heard a commercial for a casino or a lottery game? What would my bank account look like? And who should I blame for it?

This is another pointless exercise in trying to hold an "evil" corporation responsible for an individual's personal failing. Nearly everything is bad for you if taken to excess.
