Chareva Naughton, Tom Naughton

Comedian and former health writer Tom Naughton dispenses with the false truths perpetuated in such documentaries as Morgan Spurlock's Super Size Me by demonstrating why nearly everything the public ha... read more read more...s been told about obesity and healthy eating is pure bologna. By losing weight on a high-fat, fast food diet comprised of such dreaded artery-hardeners as double Quarter Pounders and fried chicken, Naughton proves that it's entirely possible to maintain a healthy weight while not depriving ourselves of our favorite foods. Conversations with doctors, nutritionists, and political scientists back up Naughton's claim that government agencies, researchers, scientists, and alarmist documentaries have made Americans so frightened of food that we're losing our ability to enjoy what we eat. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    I found this to be an interesting rebuttal to Supersize Me. Although, like most of these documentaries, it sometimes tends to go a little overboard to get their point across. It does give a good, detailed scientific explaination about how blood sugars, carbs, cholesterol and fa... read moret work in our bodies; without becoming a borefest. It gives "food for thought" (pun intended). The biggest statement this movie makes is that neither government nor any other agency should tell people how to eat. I found it to be educationally fun.

    The movie/documentary is a bit long and low budget but it has a valid point. Fat Head debunks the Super Size Me movie but showing that you can eat fast food as long as you moderate how you do it and exercise. He doesn't advocate a diet of fast food, he's simply showing that Super... read more Size Me was biased. If you enjoy hearing "the other sides of a story" then you should take the time to watch it. If nothing else, you will learn that what you think about animal fats, government studies and government guidelines are wrong.

    its ok but far too long for the type of documentary it was, it was just feeding information with boring slideshow type images and people talking. Felt like something you'd be watching in a high school freshman class...and it actually got annoying as if he was talking down to you.... read more. I Think he also made some facts that aren't true.. some parts were just very annoying like where it says in some annoying voice "the guy from cspi" it was childish and stupid... and it seemed to happen alot... this movie sucks compared to supersize me

    If you liked 'super size me', you should really see this one. Exposes deceptive practices that use your personal health as currency.
