The majority of people are dumb, can’t see the all the uncontrolled variables in his “experiment” and responded with “wooooooooooowwwwww.” That’s what needed to be done though. The people who were impressed by the movie are the same people who didn’t really get that fast food in large amounts is bad. > > IMO humans (not just Americans) in general, have no common sense. > > What he did was make it painfully clear to the masses who wouldn’t normally “get it” that eating a lot of fast food and not exercising is really really really bad for you. So you know exactly how trans fat, saturated fat, calories, sodium, sugars, etc. will affect your body? Can you even tell me what a calorie is without looking it up? I highly doubt it. So that means it is NOT common knowledge to know these things. Yeah, most people can see the fucking grease dripping off of a sandwich and realize it’s not the best thing to be eating. But knowing exactly what it is doing to your body is a little more involved than just seeing that. Even the doctors, before he started the diet, didn’t think it would be so life threatening. They were BLOWN away. So are you saying that physicians aren’t intelligent because they were so suprised? Wtf is it with engineers thinking they are the smartest shits out there? :roll: --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/super-size-me/16182)._
