My rant on some idiot who dismisses Gen Zers’ critique on Super Size Me

People like this guy infuriates me because they are so desperate into pulling a bunch of garbage out of their ***es just to dismiss criticism of a really bad film.

It's a legitimate criticism that the man who created the documentary was only using certain biases to prove that all fast food is bad. What Gen Zers were criticizing were several things: the mindset that certain foods are bad and others are good, the weight bias that center on white men, the ignorance of eating disorders and poverty, and the assumption that obesity equals laziness.

Of course this idiot keeps pulling a bunch of lazy arguments out of his *** relating to obesity and fast food industries. Honestly, it’s so tiring.

The only thing Morgan (the man in the documentary) has proven is that overeating can make you sick.

Anyway, that's my vent. Just need to get this off my chest. Sorry if it's lazy, as I'm tired as hell.

I agree and should be noted that Others have attempted the same challenge as Morgan with mixed or wildy different results. Morgan Also failed to mention that he was drinking heavily throughout the film behind the scenes and hia Sedentary lifestyle. I honestly miss the Super Size Mcdonalds Fries as it was a great deal. I think everyone knows Fast Food is not healthy and people like it for the convience and price.

That being said I hate the way someone is dismissed simply for their age and/or Generation. It seems to be a part of human nature though every Generation complains about the next. "The Greatest Genertion" often complained about Baby Boomers and Then Generation X, Boomers Started to Complain about Generation X and then Millenials, and Gen Z, The Gen X started to Complain about Millenials and Gen Z, Now I have seen some millenials complain about Gen Z and in a few years will likely complain about Gen Alpha as Gen Z will likely chime in on that. It goes the other way as well with critiques often levied at the Older Generations but that isn't as common as complaining about those younger. It is a sad fact of the world.

On another Note There's a Song About this callex What Is Truth By Johnny Cash which is about his Generations complaints about the Baby Boomers which of course is ironic now.

I remember watching this years ago, well sort of.

I remember the context, not so much the content

Didn't that documentary end up being debunked and the guy was drinking the whole time in addtion to eating Mcdonalds?

I remember Morgan died a year or so ago.

Yep, this is a very valid point.

I couldn’t remember the debunking part. Also I didn’t know that Morgan was an alcoholic during the time of this filming. Talk about lying to your viewers.
