I am skeptical as to the notion that "we are helpless victims" to the FF industry. I agree that the influence of massive television advertising and the FF industry's heavy lobbying of the gov't has created a generation (maybe more than one) of folks who actually consider a somewhat regular regimine of this food to be harmless, or at least not un-healthy. But, you don't have to eat too many times at one of these places to realize that you don't feel too good after the meal. Plus if you can take a look in the kitchen while the "food" is being prepated, its pretty obvious that its toxic.I still look forward to seeing the movie though!
Follow Ups:
...alludes to "helpless victims." The point is made, however, that it is difficult for consumers to make choices when nutritional information is not provided to them. McDonald's claims it shares nutritional information with its customers, but "Super Size Me" shows that it is inconsistently distributed and very difficult to find in general.It is extremely difficult for children to make nutritional choices when fast-food companies run public school cafeterias.
Furthermore, the film makes it clear that there is a big difference between what fast food companies tell the public and what fast food companies say behind closed doors. The industry overall is very, very similar to the tobacco industry.
