Why would someone glorify Mc Donalds and fast food. He talks about weight the whole time but does he mention quality of life, heart attacks, etc. You don't get quality of life at Mc Donalds or any fast food place. He doesn't even discuss all the chemicals , GMOs , trans fat , gluten, that come with fast food that can harm your health. This movie is ridiculous. The only people who gave him good ratings are probably overweight unhealthy fast food lovers.

This 'documentary' is not worthwhile. It's not funny or informative, or even enjoyable as a snide rebuttal to Morgan Spurlock's Super Size Me. While both are ham-fisted and over-the-top at least Spurlock's was well produced.Naughton invokes a few straw men and takes poorly aimed shots. Initially he makes the point that maybe calories are more important than fat content, etc. in a reference to Spurlock eating 5000 calories a day. Daily intake of calories has been the yardstick of nutrition for about a century. One of the slides has the words 'rabid vegetarianism' which doesn't apply to Spurlock (he's not a vegetarian) or really anyone making the case that too many calories is bad.Tom Naughton is a comedian? He has no charisma, timing, or humor. He said something like 'I waited outside a McDonald's to see if someone would drag me in and force me to eat fast food. NO ONE DID.' Hurrr. Derp. The 'original music' in this film was funny, but not intentionally. It fit the rest of the production.

Fat head is a documentary that really aims to help us understand the problem of obesity. It does not take the easy route and blame the corporations, instead it looks at recent documentaries such as 'Super size me' and analysis the facts presented. Fat head also really digs into the science of foods, this enables us to understand the food markets and what the consequence of consuming certain foods have. Like other documentaries, he interviews a various amount of doctors and academics. This provides the audience with plenty of information about how our ancestors ate, and also why our diets changed so dramatically from then.

Mr. Naughton was not justifying his "obesety" with this film, nor is he on a crusade to inspire people to eat nothing but fast food from McDonald's. He was merely pointing out the fallacies inherent with the current standards of health and fitness in the United States as well as addressing the doom and gloom in regard to healthy eating. Essentially it came down to this; Eating out isn't the end of the world, Government regulation isn't the answer, and whichever path you choose to healthy living, just be satisfied with your choices and accept the consequences of your actions.In response to the review from dkinem regarding nutrition in human evolution: http://cast.uark.edu /local /icaes /conferences /wburg /posters /sboydeaton /eaton.htm (Delete space to follow the link) I genuinely think that most doctors have their patient's health in mind, but the best of intentions don't always equal what's best for people.Consider the fact that Veterinarians seem to be consistently at odds with holistic nutritionists. Veterinarians are told all throughout their training that Science Diet is an acceptable brand to feed your dog. However, that particular brand is nothing but corn meal and grain with beef flavoring; ingredients which Dogs are unable to digest and ingredients which have a deeply negative impact on the the overall health of the animal. Meanwhile holistic nutritionists consider canine evolution when suggesting dog food, which, from my experience has had a profoundly positive impact on the quality of my dog's health.It's not the fault of the veterinarians that they are unaware of the negative impact of science diet, as is it not the fault of doctors that they may not have considered taking human dietary evolution into account when they write guidelines on what is best for us. It just seems that while they haven't necessarily been fed false information, they haven't been properly conditioned to be as skeptical as they could be in regard to what constitutes a healthy diet.
