I just watched this movie. Even though PowerGirl told me not to. It makes me angry/sick.

Anyone else seen this movie??

Skipped that one - just couldn't make myself watch it. Does it tell how long it took him to lose the weight he gained during the 30 days?

That movie was sick. I could never live off of fast food. I feel really bad for the guy who did. He had some really bad liver problems afterward. I had to fast forward twice during the movie because he threw up. I felt really sick just watching it I can't imagine what he was going through.

Yeah, it does. But I forgot...and I lost the remote to my DVD player so I can't skip to the end to tell you...maybe I can find it on the internet...

Here we go.

Took him a total of 14 months to lose 24½ pounds he gained from eating McDonalds.

Yeah, I had to watch it for Health class. It was disgusting.

It left such an imprint on me that whenever I see those fast food commercials I actually feel slightly nauseated.

I never really ate at fast food industries ever since I became a pescetarian, but this one just made me feel disgusting inside.

If you guys ever get the DVD, go to deleted scenes and check out "The Smoking Fry". It is gross, but not in a PG-13 way or anything. But it will want to make you NEVER EVER EVER eat McDonald's French fries AGAIN.

I really liked that movie. It really showed how much fast food impacted our world, today. But it was really disturbing, especially when Morgan threw up.

Yeah, it was good of him to make that movie, but it was really gross to watch, is all.

He might not be able to live very long.
