DEATH BY GOVERNMENT: GENOCIDE AND MASS MURDER

All told, governments killed more than 262 million people in the 20th century outside of wars, according to University of Hawaii political science professor R.J. Rummel. Just to give perspective on this incredible murder by government, if all these bodies were laid head to toe, with the average height being 5', then they would circle the earth ten times. Also, this democide murdered 6 times more people than died in combat in all the foreign and internal wars of the century. Finally, given popular estimates of the dead in a major nuclear war, this total democide is as though such a war did occur, but with its dead spread over a century

Genius documentary about how the big companies get us!

Super Size Me

Health13 Comments

Morgan Spurlock, the director of Super Size Me, came up with a great hook for his debut as a documentary filmmaker.

His experiment, to eat nothing but three McDonalds meals a day every day for 30 consecutive days, provides an entertaining and occasionally disturbing narrative thread that allows for informative and engaging tangents about American culture’s disturbing trend toward obesity.

Though the prose in his voice-overs occasionally reveals Spurlock’s amateurism, the editing and the quality of his interviews more than make up for it.

Spurlock has absorbed the work of Michael Moore and manages to achieve the same intricate balance between laughter, shock, and information that makes Moore’s films entertaining, although Spurlock is without any righteous anger.

tiny,

They may influence kids, but kids aren't driving to the restaurants and paying for the meals, the parents are. We should BLAME THE PARENTS for 1)Not teaching their kids proper nutrition and exercise, and 2) Refusing to tell their kids NO.

in the end it's both the corp. and the gov't responsibility to monitor the quality of food - for the same reason you can't sell e-coli burgers - people get sick. fast food shouldn't be as nasty as it is, it should be edible within reason without the risks of obesity and heart disease.

that said i also think people shouldn't eat it and have better access to good food.

We need to tax sugar and invest the money collected into healthy food education programs, farmer's markets, rebates on fruits and vegetables, etc.

Neither, McDonalds nor any other fast food restaurants are forcing consumers to buy their food.
.
While not forcing kids they influence kids in a major way into believing something false. Since kids cannot be asked to make healthy decisions which can effect the rest of their lives while being overwheight or diabetic. Kids could be protected from this, but that's not solving the problem. The aggresive mcdonalds marketing machine is to blame. Commercials which are glorifying candy etc. are partaking in the same idea.

Apr 2010 This doco has been around a while now and its the first time i've seen it. Wish I'd seen it earlier! Very informative, eye opening and a touch scary.
I had a friend a little older than me have a heart attack aged 47. He survived and they told him if he hadnt been playing football (thats soccer to you Yanks) until 5 years previously he probably wouldn't have survived it. His fitness saved his life! This brings home what's really important on top of the food is some kind of exercise. It's a drag and there is no way around it. We HAVE to move our bodies around alot more than we currently do in our urban lifestyles. The human body just wasn't evolved to sit around watching tv or working at desks every day.

A great documentary - truly innovative at the time. Morgan Spurlock is an engaging personality and the fact that he uses his own body in this experiment makes his point all the stronger.

This is a great documentary, very informative, which I enjoyed! I find it interesting that one can sue a company like McDonalds for "selling food that is not good for people", previously. That is ridiculous! Everyone should take personal responsibility for what they eat! Neither, McDonalds nor any other fast food restaurants are forcing consumers to buy their food. I think one should eat foods that suit one's lifestyle. The type of food served at McDonalds which are more high calorie type of foods are appropriate for people who do labour intensive jobs or have a lifestyle that needs that kind of high calorie foods. Of course one has to balance it with some vegetables and fruits and eat healthy portions according to one's size and not American portions. I have gone to an American restaurant called Billy Bombers and their serving for 1 person is equal to 2 persons, according to our standards. I generally can't finish my main meal (which I have to always give to my sister) and I don't order any soups, salads or desserts but only drink water. By the way, I am 5'9 so I am not a small size person. I think Americans should reduce the portions of their meals as it is just too large! Thus, the adverse results of eating at McDonalds for 3 meals for a month came as no surprise to me. Though, even if at all, I eat a McDonalds meal, it is because my sister buys from there which is about once a month. I have decided to not eat at fast foods from now on because I don't have the kind of profession or lifestyle that justifies eating such foods. I was a bit concern about what I have seen in this documentary and have concluded that fast food is not a healthy choice for me even if it is eaten for only once a month. I thank God I am thin but I don't want to feed my body with such foods in the future.
