Fat Head


The production quality wasn't fantastic, it sounded more like a news piece than a movie, but it wasn't bad. I enjoyed it.
http://www.hulu.com/watch/196879/fat-head
you can watch it for free.
I would like to get a response. Does anyone know how credible the movie is?
It seems quite credible to me. 3 documentarians have done a 30 day fast food diet and lost weight just to prove supersize me wrong.
In this movie he points out that even eating a supersized meal 3 times a day does NOT equal 5 000 calories, as Morgan Spurlock's nutritionist said.
It starts out saying that "supersize me" was a load of crap and basically couldn't have happened the way Spurlock and his nutritionist said, so he called the representatives of Spurlock and they refused to show his food log. In fact they have /never/ released his food log to any media.

This documentarian does a 30 day fast food diet and loses weight
then after that he does a 30 day heavy saturated fat diet and his health actually improves
it's kind of funny.

On non-Mexican Hispanics


It kind of annoys me when Hispanics get upset when someone assumes they are Mexican.
I just watched a video in which it points out that there are 22+ Spanish speaking countries and only 1 is Mexico (obviously).
What they failed to mention is that Mexico is by FAR the most populated Spanish speaking country, so it's perfectly understandable to see why someone would assume that a Hispanic is Mexican.
Even if 112 million Spanish speakers isn't enough, in the US, the vast majority of Hispanics are Mexican, so once again, it's a completely valid assumption that a Hispanic might be Mexican.

However, let's forget all that and just move to decency. Just say "I'm not Mexican, I'm Guatemalan" or something and move on. Making a big deal out of it just kind of makes you look like a douche.


Darris over and out.
