Factual error: Morgan says that french fries are one of the seven items on McDonalds menu that doesn't contain sugar. French fries, in fact, do contain dextrose - a form of sugar. This is mentioned on DVD commentary.

-80/10. One of the most dangerous documentary movies ever made up there with Bowling For Columbine and Fahrenheit 9/11. What's the point here? That eating too much fast food is bad for you? Wow, what a killer idea by Joe Spurlock. He's truly an idiot for doing this.

Morgan Spurlock: I consumed over thirty pounds of sugar. That's an average of a pound of sugar a day.
Question: Is there a list somewhere of exactly what Morgan Spurlock ate on each day? It seems that on several days, he ate more than a standard meal (you often see multiple sodas visible on desks, or he carries bags larger than a typical McDonalds' meal bag), which rather hurts the point he's trying to make.
Chosen answer: If you were going to eat at McDonald's three meals a day for 30 days, would you actually make 90 separate trips to the restaurant? I'm sure there were times that he got 2 or 3 (or more) meals at the same time and simply reheated them. As for the cups, I know lots of people with old soda cups on their desk and tons of them in their car. The crew may have had food too.
