When Morgan is laying out his plans, he says he will not get any form of exercise, except for walking, yet it is later revealed that he has been having sex with his girlfriend - a form of exercise. [Morgan meant he would not do any extra physical activity that could result in weight loss. Although sex is a little exercise, it isn't regarded as a way of getting exercise or even losing weight. Furthermore, Alex, his girlfriend, says she is on top during sex which means Morgan is exerting himself that much less.]

The documentary shows a graphic showing the fattest cities in the U.S. If you look at Florida, Miami is spelled wrong. It is spelled "Maimi" instead of "Miami." [Miami is spelled correctly.]

During the interview with Marion Nestle, PhD and Chair of nutrition and food studies, she claims that a calorie is the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of one liter of water one degree Celsius. That is a very common mistake. She is talking about a kilocalorie (kcal) which is a thousand calories. One calorie is the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water one degree Celsius. That is 4.1868 joule of energy. [Actually, the submission is the common mistake: A calorie (small c) is the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of a gram of water one degree Celsius. A Calorie (capital c) is the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of a liter of water one degree. A Calorie (capital c) and a kilocalorie are the same thing, and when we're referring to food, we're just about ALWAYS talking about Calories (even though, in common usage, we don't capitalize it). I know it's confusing, but a quick Google search of "what is a calorie" will verify this correction.]
