We just finished watching the movie Fat Head. It was produced by Tom Naughton. From the Fat Head blog:
Comedian (and former health writer) Tom Naughton replies to the
blame-McDonald’s crowd by losing weight on a fat-laden fast-food diet while
demonstrating that nearly everything we’ve been told about obesity and healthy
eating is wrong. Along with some delicious parody of Super Size Me, Naughton
serves up plenty of no-bologna facts that will stun most viewers, such as: The
obesity “epidemic” has been wildly exaggerated by the CDC. People the
government classifies as “overweight” have longer lifespans than people
classified as “normal weight.” Having low cholesterol is unhealthy. Lowfat
diets can lead to depression and type II diabetes. Saturated fat doesn’t cause
heart disease — but sugars, starches and processed vegetable oils do.
Gotta tell you – this movie makes a lot of sense. And it sure points out what a fraud that Morgan Spurlock of Super Size Me fame is. I now consider Spurlock right up there with that evil fat bastard Michael Moore when it comes to purposely deceiving their audience.
Kudos to Mr. Naughton!
