I've never been "blue pilled". I was raised in a very traditional household, I sort of had a 1950s upbringing which I'm eternally grateful for.
So seeing the nuclear family and having a non feminist, stay at home mother, and a strong father, made it where I naturally despised feminism and these chip on their shoulder liberal female teachers as soon as I encountered them from early age.
But there was a moment I want to highlight as utterly retarded that made me realize that a large chunk of adults and people in general are profoundly stupid and it happened in 9th grade.
It was gym class and Supersize me had come out about 3 years prior, and the gym teacher, a man btw, has our gym class for that day be to watch that documentary.
I could not believe that anyone would be so dumb as to think that documentary was some sort of eye-opening revelation.
The second I knew the concept of it, the only thought was "duh".
Don't eat Mcdonalds every day, it's not good to do that. Where can I contact the Pulitzer prize people, because the brain trust behind that mind-blowing exposé needs to receive it retroactively.
I felt like I was in the Twilight Zone that a grown man would think that this documentary would be an exercise in anything but 1 hour of stating the obvious.
The fact that the documentary itself was incredibly pretentious didn't help either.
And then the dawning realization that it's not just a gym teacher showing this, and students watching it, but some studio actually paid money to get this made.
It really made me question the intelligence of mankind as a whole. Something everyone knows gets made into a documentary. (And yes I know the documentary was full of lies and fudging, but even without those lies, if you need a film to tell you not to eat Mcdonalds too frequently, then you're not long for this world).
Anyways, I just was baffled such a thing existed, and that teachers thought it would be eye-opening to students. I looked around thinking "is everyone morons"?
It would be years of further red-pilling until I finally got my answer...yes. The answer is yes.
And the most hilarious part is that the documentary was complete bullshit. The health problems he was dealing with had almost nothing to do with him eating McDonald's every day, and almost everything to do with him being a raging alcoholic and getting completely shitfaced every second he wasn't on camera.
It wasn't even that, he made up a rule that if they offered to "supersize" his meal then he had to do it. He was eating like 4000+ calories a day which is what his health problems came from (at that time).
The movie even shows a guy who was eating just a Quarter Pounder a day for decades and was healthy.
Moral of the movie is don't eat waaay too many calories every day for months on end.
Why would he not just you know, put some of that in the fridge and eat it another day? It's total nonsense.
I got shown that in school along with other stuff like Bowling for Columbine. I was glad I didn't have to do schoolwork in class for those days, but did not care for the movies.
TBF, the shelflife of McD's in terms of edibility is about 15 mins.
There's not much on their menu that would still be presentable after a night in the fridge.
And yet you can leave the food out for months and it won't rot
Such as?
because then he wouldn't get fat, and no one would care about the results because "i ate 30 days of mcdonalds and nothing happened" isn't newsworthy.
One of the big parts of the film was that his liver was suffering damage. It was statistically unlikely to be a result of unchecked McD consumption as opposed to the alcoholic intake he was doing at the time.

it was a combination. multiple people have gone on to do 30+ day mcdonalds only challenges and lost weight.
alcohol drastically reduces your ability to burn calories on anything other than processing the alcohol because your body views it as a poison.
add on 4k+ calories a day, and you'll absolutely get fucking fat.
reduce alcohol, have a caloric deficit, you'll lose plenty of weight, even eating shitty mcdonalds food.
What a nice piece of esoteric BS.
You can get fat drinking alchool because alchool is calories that your body is able to use as energy too.
It dosen't ''reduce your ability to burn calories''. It is extra calories and you are storing the excess calories as fat.
Of course it is also ''mildly'' toxic. But that part has nothing to do with weight gain.
nope. because the human body can't store alcohol calories but can store other calories, the body goes straight to storing the other stuff while processing the alcohol. your body doesn't do this with many other caloric sources. and alcohol calories are different in that they're a relatively high loss rate (lost as heat rather than glycogen synthesis). this drastically increases the likelihood of weight gain and retention.
The human body is perfectly capable to extract usable energy from alchool, at the rate of 7kCal per gram of alchool ( almost as much as the 9kCal from 1g of fat, and more than the 4kCals from carbonhydrates ) and this is part of your energy balance.
Even counting loss in heat from transformation ( that may or may not be a waste depending on room temperature and clothes insulation ), you're getting 5 to 6 avaliable Calories from each gram of alchool, which is still more than from carbonhydrates.
You've consumed an excess of calories. Alchool calories aren't magical. They ended-up contributing to your excess total in a very predictable manner based on grams consumed, and that excess counting all your food and drink intake was stored as fat. You would get the same result of weigh gain if you consumed the same excess energy in the form of buttered toast.
If you haven't consumed an excess of calories but consumed alchool ( for example, if you drank 500 kCals' worth of alchool but didn't exceed your caloric needs for the day ), you won't gain weight.
Fat Head was a fantastic counter movie. Punched holes in almost everything Spurlock claimed.
Look up fat head for a good rebuttal.
What I find more baffling is how passionate people get about diets but then turn a blind eye to alcohol.
Listen, I need something to blot out the horrors of living in the modern world.
Documentaries are generally entertainment. Like the news. They give the illusion of knowledge and understanding, and that's all people are after.
I finally admitted to myself today that the majority of the populace is too stupid to be anything other than farm equipment. I've known they were irredeemably stupid for a very very long time, but seeing the way people drive today just made something click into place. These are animals and they are not to be given rights or freedoms for they lack the cognitive capacity to be allowed either. They are subhumans meant for manual labor and nothing else. They must not be allowed to make decisions or wield any influence whatsoever over society at large. The very concept of slavery now makes sense to me. It is the ancient solution to the problem of people too stupid to be left to their own devices. Put them to a useful purpose and restrict them from doing harm to the wider populace, anything less is irresponsible. Unfortunately we've allowed ourselves to be utterly flooded with such bipedal refuse.
I'd say lack of moral capacity (ie most of the chink races) ought to be disqualifying as well. I wouldn't enslave them though. They're of no use in manual labor, and they'd be constantly trying to scam their way out of earning their food and shelter just like they do now. They'd make excellent kibble for the subhumans that are too stupid to cause that problem, however.
CS Lewis wrote about this. He said we can build statues and monuments but in the end they are just relics of knowledge gains and then lost in Man's endless quest to best God. In 100 years when America lies in ruins, the next society will look and wonder how it happened, as the parasites are rooting themselves into that society, thus beginning the cycle again.
Satan's game is to keep people focused on what is in front of them and not the massive failure that Man is every time he tries to make himself into God.
Someone countered that documentary by not eating like a fucking retard at McDonalds, and managed to lose weight and get healthier.
Basically, the made sure to count calories, keep sugar intake to a minimum, and request specifically healthier options and it improved his diet. Now, he did specifically mention that eating only McDonalds is still not a good choice because it limits your healthier options (particularly at the time), but it was still doable.
There's a reason Plato hated democracy
Supersize me was propaganda designed by the Judeo-Food Industry to use a leverage for why they should switch to cheaper vegetable based products and away from more expensive animal based products. The quality of fast food has gone down since supersize me and it was thanks to supersize for that it has.
2004 was already well into the seed oil era.
honestly prefered Fat Head, it was morr informative and entertaining
Similar "revelation" but it had the same effect on me.
The first time reading past the headline of "95% of dieters put the weight back on" to find that it actually meant that researchers found and published a sentence like "When dieters returned to their original diet after finishing their diet 95% of them returned to their original weight"
The first time clown world hits it almost hurts.
You mean that if you go back to smoking after you quit smoking, you smell like smoke again?
No way! You're supposed to quit smoking for 3 weeks and then go back to doing what you were doing before without the negative consequences of your past behavior!
If anyone mentions that doc in a school today, half a dozen landwhale teaching college graduates will be shrieking that it's Robert Kennedy-adjacent and they'll shave their heads if it's shown.
Didn't he also say he wouldn't workout at all during filming? So his plan was take in a bunch of calories and do as little as possible to work them off.
I remember most people's reactions were yeah it be bad, but were surprised by how bad it got and the speed at which he fell apart
Don't forget the daily alchool abuse off camera he forgot to mention ( but that his doctor accidentally noticed when his liver test results came back all fucked up like he was an alchoolic or something ).
Im not expert on this, but apparently if you stay away from the milkshakes, large fries, huge sodas and stick to reasonably sized burgers, McDs is not bad for you at all.
You'd also have to stay away from drinking alot of alchool every day.
Funny the guy forgot to mention his alchoolism during the documentary.
Staying away from soda and any sugary stuff alone would cut down a huge portion of any issues eating a McDonalds diet, I don’t think you even need to eliminate large fries in that case (though you probably should due to calorie amount).
That documentary was a fraud. The main guy was an alchoolic and ruined his health with that.
Now you know why his doctor was so baffled by his liver disease.
I think it’s less people are stupor and more that they don’t think. Something blocks them from really objectively thinking. If you were to turn the Covid shit into a movie the audience would immediately understand that the vaccine is experimental bullshit used to make companies billions of dollars AT BEST. But the herd mentality makes them unable to think objectively.
and then they took super size from us
That movie was so fucking stupid.
There's a whole rebuttal documentary called fathead, where a computer programmer debunks every point in the movie. At the same time, he eats nothing but McDonalds for a month, while losing weight and improving his blood work. Literally all he had to do was exercise and pick healthier options on the menu (no soda, etc).
