Everything's bigger in America,

00:01:34.440 --> 00:01:35.942
we've got the biggest cars,

00:01:35.943 --> 00:01:37.193
the biggest houses,

00:01:37.194 --> 00:01:38.444
the biggest companies,

00:01:38.945 --> 00:01:39.945
the biggest food,

00:01:39.946 --> 00:01:42.448
and, finally,
the biggest people.

00:01:42.949 --> 00:01:46.452
America has now become
the fattest nation in the world.

00:01:46.453 --> 00:01:48.453
Congratulations.

00:01:48.454 --> 00:01:50.957
Nearly 100 million Americans
are today either overweight

00:01:50.958 --> 00:01:51.958
or obese.

00:01:52.458 --> 00:01:55.461
That's more
than 60% of all U.S. adults.

00:01:55.462 --> 00:01:56.962
Since 1980,

00:01:56.963 --> 00:02:00.466
the total number of overweight
and obese Americans has doubled,

00:02:00.467 --> 00:02:02.467
with twice as many
overweight children

00:02:02.467 --> 00:02:04.971
and three times as many
overweight adolescents.

00:02:04.972 --> 00:02:06.472
The fattest state in America?

00:02:06.973 --> 00:02:10.977
Mississippi -- where one
in four people are obese.

00:02:10.978 --> 00:02:12.477
I grew up in west Virginia,

00:02:12.478 --> 00:02:15.480
currently the third-fattest
state in America.

00:02:15.481 --> 00:02:18.985
When I was growing up, my mother
cooked dinner every single day.

00:02:18.986 --> 00:02:21.988
Almost all my memories of her
are in the kitchen.

00:02:21.989 --> 00:02:23.488
And we never ate out,

00:02:23.489 --> 00:02:25.992
only on those few, rare
special occasions.

00:02:25.993 --> 00:02:27.993
Today, families do it
all the time,

00:02:27.994 --> 00:02:30.997
and they're paying for it --
not only with their wallets,

00:02:31.497 --> 00:02:32.999
but with their waistlines.

00:02:33.499 --> 00:02:35.500
Obesity is now
second only to smoking

00:02:35.501 --> 00:02:38.004
as a major cause
of preventable death in America,

00:02:38.005 --> 00:02:40.256
with more
than 400,000 deaths per year

00:02:40.257 --> 00:02:42.507
associated
with related illnesses.

00:02:42.508 --> 00:02:47.013
In 2002, a few Americans
got fed up with being overweight

00:02:47.014 --> 00:02:49.015
and did what we do best.

00:02:49.016 --> 00:02:51.016
They sued the bastards.

00:02:51.017 --> 00:02:53.018
taking aim
at the fast-food companies

00:02:53.019 --> 00:02:55.520
and blaming them
for their obesity and illnesses,

00:02:55.521 --> 00:02:58.524
a lawsuit was filed in New York
on behalf of two teenage girls,

00:02:58.525 --> 00:03:04.030
one who was 14 years old,
4'10", and 170 pounds,

00:03:04.031 --> 00:03:08.284
the other, 19 years old,
5'6", and 270 pounds.

00:03:08.285 --> 00:03:12.537
The unthinkable
had suddenly become reality.

00:03:12.538 --> 00:03:15.791
People were suing the golden
arches for selling them food

00:03:15.792 --> 00:03:19.045
that most of us know isn't
good for you to begin with

00:03:19.046 --> 00:03:21.547
yet each day,
one in four Americans

00:03:21.548 --> 00:03:24.049
visits a fast-food restaurant.

00:03:24.050 --> 00:03:27.553
And this hunger for fast food
isn't just in America.

00:03:27.554 --> 00:03:30.055
it's happening
on a global basis.

00:03:30.056 --> 00:03:32.558
McDonald’s alone operates
more than 30,000 joints

00:03:33.059 --> 00:03:35.060
in over 100 countries
on 6 continents

00:03:35.061 --> 00:03:39.565
and feeds more than 46 million
people worldwide every day.

00:03:39.566 --> 00:03:42.568
That's more than
the entire population of Spain.

00:03:43.069 --> 00:03:44.569
In the United States alone,

00:03:44.570 --> 00:03:47.823
McDonald’s accounts for 43 %
of the total fast-food market.

00:03:47.824 --> 00:03:51.077
They're everywhere --
Wal-Mart's, airports, rest stops,

00:03:51.078 --> 00:03:53.578
gas stations, train stations,
shopping malls,

00:03:53.579 --> 00:03:57.083
department stores,
amusement parts, even hospitals.

00:03:57.084 --> 00:03:59.084
That's right -- hospitals.

00:03:59.085 --> 00:04:02.088
At least you're close
when the coronary kicks in.

00:04:02.089 --> 00:04:05.090
Lawyers for McDonald's
called the suits "frivolous",

00:04:05.091 --> 00:04:07.593
stating that the dangers of
its food are universally known

00:04:08.094 --> 00:04:10.596
and that these kids can't show
that their weight problems

00:04:10.596 --> 00:04:13.599
and health woes were caused
solely by their McDiets.

00:04:13.600 --> 00:04:15.100
The judge states, however,

00:04:15.101 --> 00:04:17.602
that if lawyers
for the teens can show

00:04:17.603 --> 00:04:20.606
that McDonald's intends
for people to eat its food

00:04:20.607 --> 00:04:22.107
for every meal of every day

00:04:22.108 --> 00:04:25.111
and that doing so would be
unreasonably dangerous,

00:04:25.112 --> 00:04:27.112
they may be able
to state a claim.

00:04:27.113 --> 00:04:30.616
Are the food companies solely
to blame for this epidemic?

00:04:30.617 --> 00:04:33.119
Where does personal
responsibility stop

00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:35.371

begin?

really that bad for you?

Would I suddenly be
on the fast track

00:04:44.631 --> 00:04:46.132
to becoming an obese American?

00:04:46.632 --> 00:04:49.135
Would it be
unreasonably dangerous?

So, the reason
we have you fasting

00:07:51.317 --> 00:07:53.819
is the true cholesterol
and glucose number is fasting.

00:07:54.320 --> 00:07:56.322
So, if you had, like,
a bacon, egg, and cheese

00:07:56.822 --> 00:07:58.324
your cholesterol
would be way high,

00:07:58.724 --> 00:08:01.294

were all your electrolytes

your liver function.

I think
the worst-case scenario

00:08:46.839 --> 00:08:49.342
is that you increase
your triglycerides

00:08:49.343 --> 00:08:50.842
and your cholesterol level,

00:08:50.843 --> 00:08:53.846

you're putting
your heart at risk.

00:08:57.850 --> 00:09:01.354
I expect to see an increase
in your triglycerides,

00:09:01.355 --> 00:09:03.355

There might be
some minor variations,

but the body
is extremely adaptable,

00:09:16.869 --> 00:09:19.872
and the kidneys will handle
any extra salt you're taking in,

00:09:19.873 --> 00:09:22.875
and your liver will be able
to metabolize additional fats.

00:09:22.876 --> 00:09:26.878
As far as you gaining weight,
you probably will.

00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:31.384

I’m 6'2".

00:09:50.403 --> 00:09:52.904
I weight about 185.

00:09:52.905 --> 00:09:54.907
For your height,
this is a healthy weight.

00:09:54.908 --> 00:09:56.409
I can tell you that
right now.

00:09:56.909 --> 00:09:58.910
Your BMI,
which is the body mass index,

00:09:58.911 --> 00:10:01.414
is within normal limits,
which means you're not obese.

00:10:01.415 --> 00:10:03.415
You're actually
at the correct weight.

00:10:03.416 --> 00:10:06.419
So, I should keep a checklist
of the things that I eat

00:10:06.420 --> 00:10:07.920
for breakfast, lunch, and dinner?

00:10:08.421 --> 00:10:09.922
Your calorie needs
are gonna be averaging

00:10:10.423 --> 00:10:12.424
about 2,500 calories a day.

00:10:12.425 --> 00:10:14.926
As far as fat goes,
for 2,500 calories,

00:10:14.927 --> 00:10:18.430
you're gonna want about
80 grams of total fat in a day.

00:10:18.431 --> 00:10:21.934
The saturated fat, which is
a component of total fat,

00:10:21.935 --> 00:10:24.437
you want to have
less than 25 grams a day.

00:10:24.438 --> 00:10:26.939
Don't try to overindulge
too much.

00:10:26.940 --> 00:10:28.440
Good luck, Morgan.

00:10:28.441 --> 00:10:31.944
Hi, there. I'm Eric Rowley,
our exercise physiologist.

00:10:31.945 --> 00:10:32.944
Great.

00:10:32.945 --> 00:10:35.448
Rowley:
the official weigh-in...

00:10:37.950 --> 00:10:39.951
1851/2.

00:10:39.952 --> 00:10:42.455
We'll go through
the cardiovascular assessment,

00:10:42.456 --> 00:10:44.956
and then I'll be able
to calculate

00:10:44.957 --> 00:10:46.959
how much oxygen
your muscles can utilize,

00:10:46.960 --> 00:10:48.460
and that's also an indicator

00:10:48.461 --> 00:10:51.464
of what type of condition your
cardiovascular system is in.

00:10:51.465 --> 00:10:54.467
All right, good work.

00:10:54.967 --> 00:10:57.470
I’m gonna use
these skinfold calipers

00:10:57.471 --> 00:10:59.472
to estimate
your body density.

00:10:59.972 --> 00:11:01.974
You're 11% body fat.
that's great.

00:11:01.975 --> 00:11:03.975
We're gonna
measure your flexibility

00:11:03.976 --> 00:11:06.479
of your hamstrings, your hips,
and your lower back.

00:11:06.480 --> 00:11:08.480
Good, good.
very nice.

00:11:08.481 --> 00:11:10.733
38 centimeters
was your best.

00:11:10.734 --> 00:11:12.984
There's a basic
old-school test

00:11:12.985 --> 00:11:15.488
for muscular strength
and endurance.

00:11:15.489 --> 00:11:16.488
36. Good job.

00:11:16.489 --> 00:11:17.990
You're above average

00:11:18.491 --> 00:11:20.492
above average fitness
for your age group,

00:11:20.493 --> 00:11:23.746
definitely, I'd say
you're at a good spot right now.

00:11:23.747 --> 00:11:26.999
More than 60% of Americans
get no form of exercise,

00:11:27.000 --> 00:11:30.002
so for the next 30 days,
neither will I.

00:11:30.003 --> 00:11:32.004
But I'll still have to walk.

00:11:32.505 --> 00:11:34.757
How much does the average
American walk a day?

00:11:34.758 --> 00:11:37.009
We have these pedometers
that we put on people,

00:11:37.010 --> 00:11:38.510
step counters.

00:11:38.511 --> 00:11:41.514
You could very roughly
estimate at about 2,000 steps,

00:11:41.515 --> 00:11:43.014
because 2,000
would make a mile.

00:11:43.015 --> 00:11:45.518
And we know that people
that work in office settings,

00:11:45.519 --> 00:11:47.519
who drive a car
to and from work,

00:11:47.520 --> 00:11:50.022
who take an elevator
up to that office,

00:11:50.023 --> 00:11:52.525
may take as little
as 2,500 or 3,000 steps

00:11:52.526 --> 00:11:54.025
in their entire day.

00:11:54.026 --> 00:11:57.029
If you wanted to feel physically
like a lot of Americans do,

00:11:57.030 --> 00:12:00.032
then you'd limit yourself
to about 5,000 steps a day.

00:12:00.533 --> 00:12:04.035
Us New Yorkers --
we walk everywhere.

00:12:04.036 --> 00:12:06.539
We walk to work,
to the park, to the store.

00:12:06.540 --> 00:12:08.040
Most of us don't even own cars.

00:12:08.541 --> 00:12:11.544
The average New Yorker will walk
four to five miles a day --

00:12:11.545 --> 00:12:12.545
a day!

00:12:13.045 --> 00:12:14.546
That's a lot of walking.

of being close to a food source

And like I was saying,

00:17:01.633 --> 00:17:04.636
if these fast-food places
can put their signs up,

00:17:04.637 --> 00:17:07.638
if I can walk by them
and just totally ignore them

00:17:08.140 --> 00:17:10.142

I don't need this,"

00:17:10.642 --> 00:17:12.143
they can do it, too.

00:17:12.144 --> 00:17:14.646
We don't have to go there.
We don't have to shop with them.

we can easily go in McDonald's

Now, if the McDonald's
refused them service,

they'd be in court again saying,
"we were refused service."

00:18:15.207 --> 00:18:18.210
it's fair to point
the big gun at McDonald's.

00:18:18.211 --> 00:18:20.711
McDonald’s is
one of the biggest

00:18:20.712 --> 00:18:24.215
but, more importantly,
it is the one which,

00:18:24.216 --> 00:18:27.719
far more than all the others,
lures in young children.

00:18:28.220 --> 00:18:32.224
They have the playgrounds,
the closed, indoor playgrounds.

00:18:32.225 --> 00:18:34.226
Many places,
there are no other playgrounds.

00:18:34.227 --> 00:18:35.727
You've got to
take your kid there.

00:18:36.228 --> 00:18:37.728
So even at 2 and 3 and 4,

00:18:37.729 --> 00:18:40.731
those kids are being
lured into there.

00:18:40.732 --> 00:18:42.984
McDonald’s is very heavy
on birthday parties.

00:18:42.985 --> 00:18:45.237
They, of course,
pioneered the happy meals,

00:18:45.238 --> 00:18:46.737
now the mighty kids' meals also

00:18:46.738 --> 00:18:49.241
with those little
"gotta have 'em" toys.

00:18:49.242 --> 00:18:50.741
So they get the kids in.

00:18:50.742 --> 00:18:53.745
And, of course, the whole clown.
McDonald's has the clown.

00:18:53.746 --> 00:18:56.248
A lot of those ads
appeal primarily to kids.

00:18:56.249 --> 00:18:59.001
There's a cartoon on TV
which features him.

00:18:59.002 --> 00:19:01.752
So they, more than others,
lure the kids in.

00:19:01.753 --> 00:19:05.257
I think all of us are far more
concerned about the kids.

00:19:05.258 --> 00:19:07.259
MORGAN: Another man
who is worried about the kids

00:19:07.260 --> 00:19:08.760
is Samuel Hirsch.

00:19:09.261 --> 00:19:12.264
He represents the two girls
who are suing McDonald's,

00:19:12.265 --> 00:19:15.267
with much advisement
coming from professor Banzhaf.

00:19:15.268 --> 00:19:18.771
Why are you suing
the fast-food establishment?

00:19:18.772 --> 00:19:22.274
You mean motives besides
monetary recompensation?

00:19:22.275 --> 00:19:25.277
You mean you want
to hear a noble cause?

00:19:25.278 --> 00:19:26.778
Is that it?

00:19:28.280 --> 00:19:29.780
Um...

00:19:29.781 --> 00:19:31.282
I think that fast foods

00:19:31.283 --> 00:19:34.286
are a major contributor
to this epidemic.

00:19:34.786 --> 00:19:36.287
MORGAN: In 2000,
Dr. David Satcher

00:19:36.288 --> 00:19:37.788
became the first surgeon general

00:19:37.789 --> 00:19:39.791
to draw attention
to the obesity crisis,

00:19:40.292 --> 00:19:41.793
declaring it
a national epidemic.

00:19:42.294 --> 00:19:46.298
Now, remember,
we're super-sizing everything.

00:19:46.798 --> 00:19:49.300
You go to any fast food store,

00:19:49.301 --> 00:19:52.804
and they're trained to tell you
to buy a bigger size.

00:19:52.805 --> 00:19:55.807
For five cents more,
you can get the super size.

00:19:55.808 --> 00:19:58.560
Federal government
will define a piece of meat,

00:19:58.561 --> 00:20:01.313
three ounces of meat,
as a sensible portion,

00:20:01.314 --> 00:20:03.315
and that looks like
a deck of cards.

00:20:03.815 --> 00:20:06.318
Few people would be able
to find this deck of cards

00:20:06.818 --> 00:20:09.321
if they were served a piece of
meat, a steak, in a restaurant.

00:20:09.322 --> 00:20:11.823
It would probably be about
four or five times this size.

00:20:12.324 --> 00:20:14.326
One typical bagel
that one is eating

00:20:14.327 --> 00:20:16.827
that looks something like this

00:20:16.828 --> 00:20:19.831
is going to comprise
five servings of bread.

00:20:19.832 --> 00:20:22.334
When fast food companies
first opened,

00:20:22.335 --> 00:20:24.837
they generally
introduced one size.

00:20:24.838 --> 00:20:27.338
For example,
one size French fries

00:20:27.339 --> 00:20:30.842
when McDonald's first opened,
called "fries."

00:20:30.843 --> 00:20:33.845
that size fries
is now called "small."

00:20:33.846 --> 00:20:37.849
Medium, large, and super size.

00:20:38.350 --> 00:20:40.852
That original size
is still here.

00:20:40.853 --> 00:20:42.354
It's got about 200 calories.

00:20:42.854 --> 00:20:45.857
but the super size is gonna
pack in over 600 calories.

00:20:45.858 --> 00:20:47.858
When Burger King first opened,

00:20:47.859 --> 00:20:51.363
they had a 12-ounce small
and a 16-ounce large.

00:20:51.364 --> 00:20:52.864
This 12-ounce is now kiddy.

00:20:53.365 --> 00:20:55.867
The 16-ounce is now the small...

00:20:55.868 --> 00:20:58.370
the medium, the 32, and the 42

00:20:58.870 --> 00:21:01.373
and this is across the board
with all fast-food places.

00:21:01.873 --> 00:21:04.376
Cars have introduced
larger cup holders

00:21:04.876 --> 00:21:09.381

7-eleven double gulps,

00:21:09.382 --> 00:21:11.383

a half gallon,

from 600 to 800 calories,

00:27:23.189 --> 00:27:24.689
to hector smokers --

00:27:25.190 --> 00:27:28.193
but the other one
isn't quite yet.

00:27:28.194 --> 00:27:29.194
So the question is,

00:27:29.694 --> 00:27:31.696
at what point
will it become acceptable

00:27:31.697 --> 00:27:34.698
to publicly hector fat people

00:27:34.699 --> 00:27:38.703

A secret study
by one of the tobacco companies

00:27:42.708 --> 00:27:46.210
had the ominous title --
something like,

00:27:46.211 --> 00:27:50.215
"brand imprinting
for later actuation in life."

00:27:50.216 --> 00:27:53.718
They would buy
the little toy cigarettes,

00:27:54.219 --> 00:27:57.222
and they'd start
play-smoking them

00:27:57.223 --> 00:27:58.222
at 4 or 5 or 6.

00:27:58.223 --> 00:28:00.724

notice the pack.

00:28:00.725 --> 00:28:02.727
If you asked them
what pack it was,

they wouldn't notice it,

00:28:04.229 --> 00:28:06.731
but the theory was that
somewhere, it's buried in here,

00:28:07.232 --> 00:28:09.734
and then when they get to
the age where they're smoking,

00:28:10.235 --> 00:28:11.235
without even realizing it,

00:28:11.236 --> 00:28:13.738
they're going for that pack
that they recognize

00:28:13.739 --> 00:28:16.241

about one

If the diabetes starts
before the age of 15,

00:30:18.863 --> 00:30:25.370
you lose somewhere between
17 and 27 years of life-span.

00:30:30.376 --> 00:30:31.875

where we're
biopsying these children

actually look like

ever lived on this planet.

the product was hurting anybody,

to the death

00:54:26.427 --> 00:54:29.178
providing USDA reimbursable
meals to the students,

00:54:29.179 --> 00:54:32.432
most of which are reheated,
reconstituted packaged foods.

00:54:32.433 --> 00:54:35.685
Some days the amount of calories
in each meal tops 1,000.

00:54:35.686 --> 00:54:38.188
MORGAN: So, the USDA
sends this food

00:54:38.189 --> 00:54:39.689
for you
to prepare for kids.

00:54:40.190 --> 00:54:42.191
GLOVER: Right.
Well, not all of it, now.

00:54:42.192 --> 00:54:47.697
You've got sloppy Joe
bar-b-que sauce with pork.

00:54:47.797 --> 00:54:48.864
From the government.

00:54:48.865 --> 00:54:51.366
Whatever happened to cooks
actually cooking?

00:54:51.367 --> 00:54:53.870
I don't know what happened.
Too many whiny people.

00:54:54.370 --> 00:54:55.871
They don't want
to work hard.

00:54:55.872 --> 00:54:57.372
It's easy to come in here.

00:54:57.373 --> 00:54:59.876
This is the best tool
we got right here --

00:54:59.877 --> 00:55:01.376
box opener.

00:55:01.377 --> 00:55:03.879
That's your chef's tool,
the box cutter.

00:55:03.880 --> 00:55:06.381
Open up a box, serve it,
give it to them.

00:55:06.382 --> 00:55:08.885
Let's look at the things
that are actually cooked.

00:55:08.886 --> 00:55:10.387
Here's a menu.

00:55:10.388 --> 00:55:11.887
Mashed potatoes.

00:55:11.888 --> 00:55:13.389
Ham.
Chili will be homemade.

00:55:13.890 --> 00:55:15.641
The chili
will be homemade.

00:55:15.642 --> 00:55:17.393
What about
the tomato soup?

00:55:17.394 --> 00:55:18.394
Campbell’s.

00:55:18.895 --> 00:55:19.895
Meatballs?

00:55:19.896 --> 00:55:21.897
Comes in a box.
You heat it up.

00:55:21.898 --> 00:55:23.900
Out of the course
of an entire month,

00:55:23.901 --> 00:55:26.402
6 out of 36.

00:55:26.903 --> 00:55:29.655
You're only cooking
6 out of 36 meals?

00:55:29.656 --> 00:55:32.408
Appleton central
alternative high school

00:55:32.909 --> 00:55:35.912
is filled with students who have
truancy and behavioral problems.

00:55:35.913 --> 00:55:37.913
But they've turned
things around --

00:55:37.914 --> 00:55:40.666
not through discipline,
but through diet.

00:55:40.667 --> 00:55:43.418
We were fortunate
to kind of stumble across

00:55:43.419 --> 00:55:47.173
this healthy program
as a result of some contact

00:55:47.174 --> 00:55:50.927
with natural oven and bakery
of Manitowoc Wisconsin,

00:55:51.427 --> 00:55:54.931
and they believe
in low-fat, low-sugar,

00:55:54.932 --> 00:55:57.433
non-chemically processed foods

00:55:57.934 --> 00:56:00.937
that are free of dyes
and preservatives,

00:56:00.938 --> 00:56:02.939
full of whole grains,

00:56:03.439 --> 00:56:05.942
a lot of fresh fruits
and vegetables.

00:56:06.442 --> 00:56:07.443
We do no beef here at all,

00:56:07.944 --> 00:56:09.946
and then it's the method
of preparation,

00:56:09.947 --> 00:56:11.446
where we don't fry.

00:56:11.447 --> 00:56:14.450
A lot of baking
and then just fresh preparation,

00:56:14.451 --> 00:56:15.952
as opposed to opening cans

00:56:16.452 --> 00:56:18.453
or thawing things out
from the box.

00:56:18.454 --> 00:56:21.456
We got rid of candy machines,
soda machines,

00:56:21.457 --> 00:56:24.460
brought in bottled water,
and it was just a situation

00:56:24.461 --> 00:56:26.963
where we saw a major change in the kids.

00:56:27.463 --> 00:56:29.965
If you walk through these halls,
and you're here,

00:56:29.966 --> 00:56:32.468
these do not look like at-risk,
out-of-control kids.

00:56:32.969 --> 00:56:34.971
Their behaviors are better.

00:56:34.972 --> 00:56:36.973
They seem to be more focused.

00:56:36.974 --> 00:56:38.473
Teachers will tell you

00:56:38.474 --> 00:56:41.476
that they get more
out of them in the class.

00:56:41.477 --> 00:56:43.979
MORGAN: Keep in mind,
this is not a private school.

00:56:43.980 --> 00:56:47.483
These are the "trouble kids"
of the public school system

00:56:47.484 --> 00:56:50.486
in Appleton, Wisconsin,
that are eating so well.

00:56:50.487 --> 00:56:51.987
and it costs about the same

00:56:51.988 --> 00:56:54.489
as any other
school lunch program.

00:56:54.490 --> 00:56:56.993
So my question is --
why isn't everyone doing this?

00:56:57.493 --> 00:56:59.495
There's an awful lot
of resistance

00:56:59.496 --> 00:57:01.997
from the junk food companies

00:57:01.998 --> 00:57:04.500
that make huge profits off
schools at the present time.

00:57:04.501 --> 00:57:07.503
They don't want to get kicked
out of the school system.

00:57:07.504 --> 00:57:10.506
They want to be there
to addict the children for life.

00:57:11.007 --> 00:57:13.009
The soft drink companies,
especially, boast about

00:57:13.010 --> 00:57:15.011
how they're contributing
to America's education,

00:57:15.511 --> 00:57:16.512
but, in fact, what they're doing

00:57:17.013 --> 00:57:18.514
is they're draining money
from the community

00:57:19.015 --> 00:57:21.017
rather than contributing money
to the community

00:57:21.018 --> 00:57:22.517
because the soft drink companies

00:57:22.518 --> 00:57:24.520
aren't pumping those dollars
into the machines.

00:57:24.521 --> 00:57:26.521
It's the children
in the community

00:57:26.522 --> 00:57:28.523
who are getting the money
from their parents,

00:57:28.524 --> 00:57:31.027
and instead of that money
going directly to education,

00:57:31.028 --> 00:57:33.529
the soft drink companies
are taking a cut of it

00:57:33.530 --> 00:57:36.282
and walking away rich
as a consequence.

00:57:36.283 --> 00:57:39.035
We just banned soda
in our school district,

00:57:39.535 --> 00:57:44.040
and the sugar here shows you how
much sugar a student will drink

00:57:44.041 --> 00:57:46.041
in a week of just soda.

00:57:46.042 --> 00:57:48.043
Forget about
the rest of the food they eat.

00:57:48.044 --> 00:57:52.548
And some of these companies
are really opposing the ban

00:57:52.549 --> 00:57:56.052
for reasons of
that we would lose revenue.

00:57:56.053 --> 00:57:57.554
And it's not about money.

00:57:57.555 --> 00:57:59.055
It's not about economics.

00:57:59.555 --> 00:58:00.556
It's about health.

00:58:03.559 --> 00:58:04.559
Ooh.

00:58:04.560 --> 00:58:09.565
The McDonald's
Texas home-style burger meal.

00:58:09.566 --> 00:58:12.068
That's a --
that's a local specialty.

00:58:12.069 --> 00:58:14.569
So it's kind of like
a big 'n' tasty?

00:58:14.570 --> 00:58:17.573
Yes, except the big 'n' tasty
comes with mayonnaise.

00:58:17.574 --> 00:58:18.573
Oh, then, you know what?

00:58:18.574 --> 00:58:22.578
I need the McDonald's Texas
homestyle burger meal, please.

00:58:22.579 --> 00:58:25.581
Would you like
to super-size it today?

00:58:25.582 --> 00:58:27.082
Oh, yes, I would.

00:58:27.083 --> 00:58:29.085
Do a lot of people
super-size it?

00:58:29.086 --> 00:58:30.585
Yes.

00:58:30.586 --> 00:58:33.589
Say you asked five people.
How many of those five do it?

00:58:33.590 --> 00:58:35.590
Actually,
I get mostly all of them.

00:58:35.591 --> 00:58:38.594
Mostly all of them?
So you're batting about 100%?

00:58:38.595 --> 00:58:40.095
I guess.

00:58:40.096 --> 00:58:42.098
See that?
She's that good.

00:58:42.598 --> 00:58:43.598
Deborah’s that good.

00:58:43.599 --> 00:58:46.102
First meal inside the restaurant
that I went in to get,

00:58:46.103 --> 00:58:48.104
and they asked me
to super-size it.

00:58:48.105 --> 00:58:49.604
We're gonna keep a little tabs,

00:58:49.605 --> 00:58:53.108
see how many times they ask me
to super-size it here in Texas,

00:58:53.109 --> 00:58:56.612
'cause Texas, out of the top 1
5 fattest cities in America,

00:58:56.613 --> 00:58:58.614
Texas has five.

00:59:10.626 --> 00:59:14.130
Here we are -- Houston, Texas,
fattest city in America,

00:59:14.630 --> 00:59:17.133
getting my first breakfast.

00:59:20.136 --> 00:59:21.636
Hi, can I help you, sir?

00:59:21.637 --> 00:59:23.639
When it comes
to the topic of obesity,

00:59:23.640 --> 00:59:25.641
many people are quick
to point the finger

00:59:25.642 --> 00:59:27.642
at various foods
and food companies,

00:59:27.643 --> 00:59:29.645
but the grocery manufacturers
of America,

00:59:29.646 --> 00:59:31.647
a Washington, D.C.-based
lobby group,

00:59:32.148 --> 00:59:34.149
whose mission
is to advance the interests

00:59:34.150 --> 00:59:36.152
of the food, beverage,
and consumer products industry,

00:59:36.652 --> 00:59:38.153
are quick
to shift the focus away

00:59:38.154 --> 00:59:39.654
from the companies
they represent

00:59:39.655 --> 00:59:42.658
and to remind everyone
that there's more at work here

00:59:42.659 --> 00:59:44.159
than just eating poorly.

00:59:44.160 --> 00:59:47.163
GRABOWSKI: We believe
very strongly in our industry,

00:59:47.164 --> 00:59:49.665
and in other industries,
I think you'll find

00:59:49.666 --> 00:59:51.166
there's a growing consensus

00:59:51.167 --> 00:59:53.169
that the solution
lies in good education.

00:59:53.170 --> 00:59:55.171
We have to get good information
to parents

00:59:55.172 --> 00:59:57.173
so that they can
teach their children

00:59:57.174 --> 00:59:59.175
better exercise
and nutrition habits

00:59:59.675 --> 01:00:01.677
and so they can lead
the healthy lifestyles.

01:00:02.178 --> 01:00:05.181
We don't teach physical
education in schools anymore.

01:00:05.182 --> 01:00:07.682
MORGAN:
In the U.S., only one state

01:00:07.683 --> 01:00:10.686
requires mandatory physical
education for grades k-12.

01:00:10.687 --> 01:00:13.189
It's also one of the fattest -- Illinois.

01:00:13.689 --> 01:00:14.689
You got a heart rate?

01:00:14.690 --> 01:00:16.691
Phil Lawler
is the phys ed teacher

01:00:16.692 --> 01:00:20.196
at Madison junior high school,
home of the soaring war hawks,

01:00:20.696 --> 01:00:23.199
the snack-ridden school lunches
we saw earlier,

01:00:23.200 --> 01:00:25.200
and one of the most
well-executed

01:00:25.201 --> 01:00:27.203
physical education programs
in the country.

01:00:27.703 --> 01:00:30.206
Supported mostly by fundraising
and parent involvement,

01:00:30.207 --> 01:00:32.708
Lawler has created a role model
for instructors

01:00:32.709 --> 01:00:34.709
and school districts nationwide.

01:00:34.710 --> 01:00:37.713
LAWLER: When's the last time you
ever heard of a science class

01:00:37.714 --> 01:00:39.214
fundraising to get their labs?

01:00:39.215 --> 01:00:41.717
eventually, society
has to step up to the plate

01:00:41.718 --> 01:00:43.218
and say, "This is important.

01:00:43.219 --> 01:00:45.221
"We should have
daily physical education

01:00:45.222 --> 01:00:46.721
and equip it properly."

01:00:46.722 --> 01:00:48.224
We have to say,
"Our greatest strength

01:00:48.724 --> 01:00:50.226
is the resource
of our young people."

01:00:50.227 --> 01:00:52.728
That's our future,

01:00:53.229 --> 01:00:55.981
and the way we're treating
our resources right now,

01:00:55.982 --> 01:00:58.733
we're running into some
serious problems with that.

01:00:58.734 --> 01:01:01.237
I’ve always said we've never
had healthcare in this country.

01:01:01.238 --> 01:01:02.738
we've only had "sick care."

01:01:03.239 --> 01:01:05.741
I think daily physical education
is the only place out there

01:01:05.742 --> 01:01:08.744
that's really
offering a solution.

01:01:08.745 --> 01:01:11.746
PHILLIPS:
When I start the music,

01:01:11.747 --> 01:01:14.750
you are gonna begin traveling
through general space.

01:01:14.751 --> 01:01:16.502
You will go back to your spot,

01:01:16.503 --> 01:01:18.254
and I will tell you
a body shape.

01:01:18.255 --> 01:01:19.755
Watch out for other...

01:01:20.256 --> 01:01:21.757
People!
People! People!

01:01:22.258 --> 01:01:24.760
[ UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYS ]

01:01:24.761 --> 01:01:26.262
Round!

01:01:27.763 --> 01:01:28.763
Good job.

01:01:28.764 --> 01:01:29.765
MORGAN: How many days a week

01:01:30.266 --> 01:01:32.768
do the kids here at this school
get to go to gym?

01:01:32.769 --> 01:01:36.272
Once. One day a week.
For 45 minutes.

01:01:36.273 --> 01:01:37.774
Is that enough?

01:01:37.775 --> 01:01:39.274
No. Nowhere close.

01:01:39.275 --> 01:01:42.278
Not when the surgeon general
recommends that, at minimum,

01:01:42.279 --> 01:01:44.781
you need 30 minutes
of physical activity a day

01:01:44.782 --> 01:01:47.283
to maintain your weight
and a healthy well-being.

01:01:47.783 --> 01:01:49.784
So, once a week
is nowhere close.

01:01:49.785 --> 01:01:53.289
MORGAN: In 2001, president Bush
announced his presidency

01:01:53.290 --> 01:01:54.791
with sweeping education reform.

01:01:54.792 --> 01:01:56.292
The "no child left behind" act

01:01:56.293 --> 01:01:57.793
would now hold states
accountable

01:01:58.294 --> 01:02:01.046
for not having students who met
minimum education requirements.

01:02:01.047 --> 01:02:03.799
Apparently, we were not only
the fattest nation in the world,

01:02:03.800 --> 01:02:05.800
but we were quickly
becoming the stupidest.

01:02:05.801 --> 01:02:08.304
It may be sending a very
difficult message for schools.

01:02:08.305 --> 01:02:10.556
One of the reasons
recess is being cut back

01:02:10.557 --> 01:02:12.807
in elementary schools,
as I said earlier --

01:02:12.808 --> 01:02:15.311
that's being cut out so
they can prepare for the tests.

01:02:15.312 --> 01:02:17.812
and something I've said
to a couple of groups --

01:02:17.813 --> 01:02:20.816
we could end up with youngsters
who can read but who are fat.

01:02:20.817 --> 01:02:22.817
So we have "fat readers."

01:02:22.818 --> 01:02:25.321
The more and more
we put mandates on the school,

01:02:25.322 --> 01:02:26.821
to be very myopic
in their focus,

01:02:26.822 --> 01:02:28.658
we mitigate against
all of these other areas

01:02:29.158 --> 01:02:31.160
where they should be
devoting time and energy,

01:02:31.161 --> 01:02:32.912

[ INDISTINCT TALKING ]

What's a calorie?

01:02:53.684 --> 01:02:54.683
Oh, Jesus.

01:02:54.684 --> 01:02:57.687
A calorie is
an increment of, um...

01:02:57.688 --> 01:02:59.187
Ugh.

01:02:59.188 --> 01:03:01.690
Um, that's a good question.

01:03:01.691 --> 01:03:04.193
Most of us know
what a calorie actually is.

01:03:04.194 --> 01:03:05.695
I don't know.

01:03:05.696 --> 01:03:07.195
Oh, wait.

01:03:07.196 --> 01:03:11.701
Is a calorie some part of fat?

01:03:11.702 --> 01:03:13.702
Uh...

01:03:13.703 --> 01:03:16.706
It's something that builds
up the fat in your body.

01:03:16.707 --> 01:03:17.707
Calories are not good

01:03:18.207 --> 01:03:19.208
It's the amount of --

01:03:19.209 --> 01:03:20.209
See, I don't know.

I want to say it's the amount
of calories in a calorie.

01:03:23.714 --> 01:03:26.216
I never pay no mind
to what calories are.

01:03:26.217 --> 01:03:28.718
I just eat when I'm hungry,
and that's it.

01:03:29.218 --> 01:03:31.720
If you can tell me
what a calorie is, go ahead.

01:03:31.721 --> 01:03:36.225
A calorie is a measure
of the energy content of food,

01:03:36.226 --> 01:03:39.979
and a calorie,
the kind that you usually see

01:03:39.980 --> 01:03:43.733
when you see the caloric content
on food labels,

01:03:43.734 --> 01:03:46.735
one calorie
is the amount of energy

01:03:46.736 --> 01:03:50.740
that's needed to raise the
temperature of a liter of water

01:03:51.240 --> 01:03:52.742

I’m not saying you should do it
because I want you to.

01:04:35.285 --> 01:04:37.286
I’m saying you need
to think about

01:04:37.287 --> 01:04:39.287
what you believe
is a system

01:04:39.288 --> 01:04:42.291
that it is corrupt and immoral

are not the same thing.

All the vitamins

vitamin e, thiamin,
riboflavin, niacin, and so on --

01:06:41.410 --> 01:06:43.912
are all under 50%
of what you need.

You're getting
quite a lot of carbohydrates,

01:06:46.415 --> 01:06:50.669
and I know, clearly, that those
are all refined carbohydrates

01:06:50.670 --> 01:06:54.924
because those are coming from
the buns, biscuits, hashbrowns.

refined carbohydrate of all,

but they're probably not.

01:08:13.502 --> 01:08:16.505
They're probably
related to blood sugar.

01:08:16.506 --> 01:08:19.508
You might be in
this hyperinsulinemic state.

01:08:19.509 --> 01:08:22.511

Now it's 225.

01:08:29.018 --> 01:08:33.022
A liver that's inflamed
in any way or sick in any way

01:08:33.023 --> 01:08:37.026
will leak some of its enzymes
out to the blood.

01:08:37.027 --> 01:08:39.529
So this
is very nonspecific,

01:08:39.529 --> 01:08:42.029
but it means
the liver is sick,

01:08:42.031 --> 01:08:44.533
and the most likely cause
of your liver sickness

01:08:44.533 --> 01:08:46.533
is a fatty liver.

01:08:46.535 --> 01:08:49.287

If you're

you'll feel
lethargic with this,

01:09:12.437 --> 01:09:14.562
you'll feel
run-down with this.

01:09:14.563 --> 01:09:17.316
If somebody were doing this
to their liver with alcohol,

01:09:17.317 --> 01:09:20.069
they could theoretically
wipe out all the liver cells

01:09:20.569 --> 01:09:22.569
and they'd be
in liver failure.

01:09:22.571 --> 01:09:26.325
I’ve never heard of anybody
doing this to their liver

01:09:37.087 --> 01:09:38.086
Wow.

01:09:38.087 --> 01:09:41.590
And I won't wipe out my liver
in two more weeks?

01:09:41.591 --> 01:09:43.843
I would think
it would be unlikely.

01:09:43.844 --> 01:09:46.094
I don't want to tell you
you wouldn't.

01:09:46.095 --> 01:09:49.098
My advice to you is
to stop doing what you're doing,

01:09:49.099 --> 01:09:50.598
because it's hurting you.

01:09:50.599 --> 01:09:53.102
You're sick,
and you're making yourself sick,

01:09:53.103 --> 01:09:55.104
and you can
make yourself unsick

01:09:55.604 --> 01:09:57.856
by stopping doing
what you're doing.

01:09:57.857 --> 01:10:00.109
I’m just afraid
there will be something

01:10:00.609 --> 01:10:02.111
that's totally irreversible,

01:10:02.611 --> 01:10:05.614
that there will be
some damage done that...

01:10:05.615 --> 01:10:08.116
- Yeah.
- I don't know.

01:10:08.117 --> 01:10:12.121
So, do they think that
once you change your habits

01:10:12.122 --> 01:10:15.123
that that's
going to correct itself.

01:10:15.124 --> 01:10:18.627
They think that everything
should get back on track

01:10:19.128 --> 01:10:20.128
once this is done.

01:10:20.129 --> 01:10:22.630
Your liver -- I've been
doing some reading - -

01:10:22.631 --> 01:10:26.635
your liver is very resilient,
and your liver heals itself.

01:10:27.136 --> 01:10:31.140
Well, if you need a portion
of my liver, honey,

01:10:31.141 --> 01:10:32.141
you can have it.

01:10:32.641 --> 01:10:35.144
I’ll give up part
of my liver for you.

01:10:35.145 --> 01:10:37.479
Thanks, mom.
Thanks.

01:10:43.986 --> 01:10:46.989
There's a drug that is used in
emergency rooms called Naloxone.

01:10:46.990 --> 01:10:48.990
It's used for heroin overdose.

01:10:48.991 --> 01:10:51.493
A guy comes in
overdosed on heroin, comatose.

01:10:51.994 --> 01:10:52.994
He's gonna die.

01:10:52.995 --> 01:10:54.996
You inject him with this drug,

01:10:54.997 --> 01:10:57.499
and it blocks the opiate
receptors in the brain.

01:10:58.000 --> 01:11:00.002
Heroin doesn't work.
He wakes up.

01:11:00.502 --> 01:11:04.506
If I give that same drug
to a real chocolate addict,

01:11:04.507 --> 01:11:06.507
a person just shoveling it in,

01:11:06.508 --> 01:11:08.010
you find
the most amazing thing --

01:11:08.510 --> 01:11:10.512
they lose much of their interest
in chocolate.

01:11:10.513 --> 01:11:13.014
They take a bite,
they set it back down.

01:11:13.015 --> 01:11:15.517
In other words,
it's not taste and mouth feel.

01:11:15.518 --> 01:11:18.020
it's a drug effect of the food
within the brain

01:11:18.021 --> 01:11:20.022
that keeps us coming back
again and again.

01:11:20.023 --> 01:11:22.024
You're saying
that your mood goes up

01:11:22.025 --> 01:11:23.524
once you start eating.

01:11:23.525 --> 01:11:26.528
Lately, every time I eat,
I feel 100% better.

01:11:26.529 --> 01:11:28.530
So it seems
like you're starting

01:30:33.975 --> 01:30:35.476
The two girls failed to show

01:30:35.977 --> 01:30:38.980
that eating McDonald's food
was what caused their injuries.

01:30:38.981 --> 01:30:40.480
Interesting.

01:30:40.481 --> 01:30:42.984
In only 30 days of eating
nothing but McDonald's,

01:30:43.484 --> 01:30:46.487
I gained 241/2 pounds,
my liver turned to fat,

01:30:46.488 --> 01:30:49.489
and my cholesterol
shot up 65 points.

01:30:49.490 --> 01:30:52.493
My body-fat percentage
went from 11% to 18%,

01:30:52.994 --> 01:30:53.995
still below the national average

01:30:54.495 --> 01:30:56.496
of 22% for men
and 30% for women.

01:30:56.497 --> 01:30:59.500
I nearly doubled my risk
of coronary heart disease,

01:30:59.501 --> 01:31:02.253
making myself twice as likely
to have heart failure.

01:31:02.254 --> 01:31:05.005
I felt depressed and exhausted
most of the time.

01:31:05.006 --> 01:31:09.010
My moods swung on a dime,
and my sex life was nonexistent.

01:31:09.011 --> 01:31:12.513
I craved this food more and more
when I ate it

01:31:12.514 --> 01:31:15.016
and got massive headaches
when I didn't.

01:31:15.017 --> 01:31:16.017
In my final blood test,

01:31:16.517 --> 01:31:19.520
many of my body functions
showed signs of improvement,

01:31:19.521 --> 01:31:23.024
but the doctors
were less than optimistic.

01:31:23.025 --> 01:31:24.524
I would very, very much doubt

01:31:24.525 --> 01:31:26.527
that these numbers
will return to normal.

01:31:26.528 --> 01:31:29.030
Although it did drop,
it was a small drop.

01:31:29.031 --> 01:31:31.531
If you kept on the diet,
you'd definitely --

01:31:31.532 --> 01:31:35.036
I know that you'd probably
develop coronary artery disease.

01:31:35.037 --> 01:31:38.539
...inflammation
and hardening of the liver.

01:31:38.540 --> 01:31:40.041
Should people
eat fast food?

01:31:40.274 --> 01:31:41.841
No.

01:31:41.842 --> 01:31:44.344
You know, the answer's no.

01:31:44.345 --> 01:31:47.097
It certainly needs
to be very restricted

01:31:47.098 --> 01:31:49.850
and balanced with,
overall, a healthy diet

01:31:50.351 --> 01:31:52.102
and, overall, a lot of exercise.

01:31:52.103 --> 01:31:53.853
And there's no reason whatsoever

01:31:53.854 --> 01:31:56.857
why fast food
has to be so disgusting.

01:31:56.858 --> 01:31:58.609
Fast food can be nutritious.

01:31:58.610 --> 01:32:00.360
It's a cheap form of food,

01:32:00.361 --> 01:32:02.363
and it does keep you
full for a while,

01:32:02.364 --> 01:32:04.364
so you get your money's worth.

01:32:04.365 --> 01:32:07.368
But unfortunately, you cause
some major harm to your heart,

01:32:07.369 --> 01:32:08.368
your liver, your blood.

01:32:08.369 --> 01:32:10.371
I wouldn't suggest
you continue the diet

01:32:10.871 --> 01:32:11.871
for a year to check this out.

01:32:11.872 --> 01:32:13.874
I don't think
it's appropriate or healthy,

01:32:14.375 --> 01:32:16.627
especially with
what showed up with your liver.

01:32:16.628 --> 01:32:18.879
MORGAN: So I shouldn't eat
this food for a year?

01:32:18.880 --> 01:32:20.380
No, I don't think so.

01:32:20.381 --> 01:32:23.384
We see people
who go on an alcohol binge,

01:32:23.385 --> 01:32:25.386
and their numbers
go up like crazy,

01:32:25.886 --> 01:32:29.389
but to go on a Mac attack...

01:32:29.390 --> 01:32:33.394
and they've got numbers to show
that it attacks your liver, too.

01:32:33.395 --> 01:32:36.397
Honestly, I wouldn't have
even thought about this.

01:32:36.897 --> 01:32:38.398
But it makes sense.

01:32:38.399 --> 01:32:41.652
Now that we have the data,
it definitely makes sense.

01:32:41.653 --> 01:32:44.905
MORGAN: Still, the impact
of this initial lawsuit

01:32:44.906 --> 01:32:46.406
is being seen far and wide.

01:32:46.407 --> 01:32:49.910
School districts in new York,
Texas, and San Francisco

01:32:49.911 --> 01:32:52.412
have banned sugary soft drinks
in schools,

01:32:52.413 --> 01:32:55.416
and all-natural, healthy options
are popping up everywhere.

01:32:55.916 --> 01:32:58.168
McDonald’s joined right in,
sponsoring events

01:32:58.169 --> 01:33:00.546
that showed how health-conscious
they'd become

01:33:00.547 --> 01:33:02.922
and creating a new line
of premium salads.

01:33:02.923 --> 01:33:05.926
At the same time, however,
they also masterminded

01:33:05.927 --> 01:33:08.429
one of their fattest
sandwiches to date --

01:33:08.430 --> 01:33:10.931
the McGriddle,
a pancake-wrapped creation

01:33:10.932 --> 01:33:12.432
that won my heart in Texas

01:33:12.433 --> 01:33:14.435
but can pack as much fat
as a Big Mac

01:33:14.935 --> 01:33:17.688
and have more sugar than a pack
of McDonaldland cookies.

01:33:17.689 --> 01:33:20.441
in fact, their new premium ranch
chicken salad with dressing

01:33:20.442 --> 01:33:22.443
delivers more calories
than a Big Mac

01:33:22.444 --> 01:33:24.444
and 51 grams of fat --

01:33:24.445 --> 01:33:26.947
79% of your daily fat intake.

01:33:26.948 --> 01:33:29.450
Over the course of my McDiet,

01:33:29.950 --> 01:33:32.453
I consumed 30 pounds of sugar
from their food.

01:33:32.953 --> 01:33:33.953
That's a pound a day.

01:33:33.954 --> 01:33:36.957
On top of that,
I also took in 12 pounds of fat.

01:33:37.458 --> 01:33:38.959
Now, I know what you're saying.

01:33:39.460 --> 01:33:42.463
You're saying "nobody's
supposed to eat this food

01:33:42.464 --> 01:33:43.463
"three times a day.

01:33:43.464 --> 01:33:45.966
No wonder all this stuff
happened to you."

01:33:45.967 --> 01:33:47.467
But the scary part is,

01:33:47.468 --> 01:33:50.471
there are people
who eat this food regularly.

01:33:50.472 --> 01:33:52.472
Some people
even eat it every day.

01:33:52.473 --> 01:33:55.476
So while my experiment
may have been a little extreme,

01:33:55.477 --> 01:33:56.977
it's not that crazy.

01:33:57.478 --> 01:33:59.479
But here is a crazy idea --

01:33:59.480 --> 01:34:02.482
why not do away
with your super size options?

01:34:02.483 --> 01:34:05.986
Who needs 42 ounces of coke,
a half-pound of fries?

01:34:06.487 --> 01:34:08.488
and why not give me a choice

01:34:08.489 --> 01:34:10.991
besides French fries
or French fries?

01:34:10.992 --> 01:34:12.492
that would be a great start.

01:34:12.493 --> 01:34:14.995
But why should these companies
want to change?

01:34:15.496 --> 01:34:17.998
Their loyalty isn't to you.
It's to the stockholders.

01:34:17.999 --> 01:34:20.501
The bottom line --
they're a business,

01:34:20.502 --> 01:34:22.001
no matter what they say.

01:34:22.002 --> 01:34:26.006
And by selling you unhealthy
food, they make millions,

01:34:26.007 --> 01:34:28.508
and no company
wants to stop doing that.

01:34:28.509 --> 01:34:31.011
If this ever-growing paradigm
is going to shift,

01:34:31.012 --> 01:34:32.512
it's up to you.

01:34:32.513 --> 01:34:35.516
But if you decide to keep
living this way, go ahead.

01:34:36.016 --> 01:34:39.019
Over time, you may find yourself
getting as sick as I did,

01:34:39.020 --> 01:34:40.521
and you may wind up here...

01:34:40.522 --> 01:34:41.522
or here.

01:34:42.022 --> 01:34:44.023
I guess the big question is --

01:34:44.024 --> 01:34:48.529
who do you want to see go first,
you or them?

01:34:57.037 --> 01:35:00.290
Right now, you have the urge
to eat something.

01:35:00.291 --> 01:35:03.544
When it's through,
if you still want to eat,

01:35:03.545 --> 01:35:06.046
then you're probably
really hungry.

01:35:06.047 --> 01:35:07.548
Think about what I'm saying.

01:35:08.048 --> 01:35:09.800
# F.a.c., that is me

01:35:09.801 --> 01:35:11.552
# But I didn't use to be

01:35:12.052 --> 01:35:13.553
# I was hot, I was hungry

01:35:13.554 --> 01:35:15.305
# I was loose, I was free

01:35:15.306 --> 01:35:17.056
# Then I waited in the line

01:35:17.057 --> 01:35:18.559
# For some burgers
and some fries

01:35:18.560 --> 01:35:20.560
# Super size, that'd be nice

01:35:20.561 --> 01:35:22.062
# Take a bite
and close your eyes

01:35:22.063 --> 01:35:23.564
# Round two, what do I do?

01:35:24.064 --> 01:35:25.565
# I can barely walk around

01:35:25.566 --> 01:35:27.317
# Jenny Craig, Richard Simmons

01:35:27.318 --> 01:35:28.944
# But I still love to pound

01:35:28.945 --> 01:35:30.570
# Hamburgers, coca-cola,

01:35:30.571 --> 01:35:32.072
# Getting gas
from too much soda

01:35:32.573 --> 01:35:34.324
# Double double chunky chunky

01:35:34.325 --> 01:35:36.076
# Hope this meal is never over

01:35:36.077 --> 01:35:37.578
# The world is round

01:35:37.579 --> 01:35:39.078
# And so am I

01:35:39.079 --> 01:35:40.831
# Big boys, big girls

01:35:40.832 --> 01:35:42.582
# With real big thighs

01:35:42.583 --> 01:35:45.586
# Super size, super size,
the American way

01:35:46.086 --> 01:35:49.089
# Throw it down, throw it down,
all day, every day

01:35:49.590 --> 01:35:52.593
# Super size, super size,
the American way

01:35:52.594 --> 01:35:54.845
# Getting fat, getting broke

01:35:54.846 --> 01:35:57.097
# Either way, you're gonna pay

01:35:57.598 --> 01:36:00.851
# Super-size me

01:36:00.852 --> 01:36:04.230
# Super-size me

01:36:04.231 --> 01:36:06.920
# Super-size me

01:36:06.921 --> 01:36:09.609
# Super-size me

01:36:09.610 --> 01:36:11.111
# Now I can't get out of bed

01:36:11.612 --> 01:36:13.113
# So I have to order in

01:36:13.114 --> 01:36:14.615
# I'm a triple-fat fatty

01:36:15.115 --> 01:36:16.616
# And I have a triple chin

01:36:16.617 --> 01:36:19.870
# Who's to blame for the lawyer
tried to settle out of court?

01:36:19.871 --> 01:36:23.123
# Get some cash, spend it fast
'cause I'm staring at my port

01:36:23.624 --> 01:36:25.125
# 'Cause it's sad
and it's lonely

01:36:25.126 --> 01:36:26.627
# Ham and cheese with bologna

01:36:26.628 --> 01:36:28.379
# Large pie, stuffed crust

01:36:28.380 --> 01:36:30.006
# A doggy bag is for a phony

01:36:30.007 --> 01:36:31.632
# I have lost the motivation

01:36:32.132 --> 01:36:33.633
# To inhibit the sensation

01:36:33.634 --> 01:36:35.134
# By the luck of frustration

01:36:35.135 --> 01:36:36.853
# Birthday cake,
I stick my face in

01:36:36.854 --> 01:36:38.714
# Turkey club
with double bacon

01:36:38.715 --> 01:36:40.574
# It's got
healthy connotations

01:36:40.575 --> 01:36:42.075
# Fast food is overtakin'

01:36:42.076 --> 01:36:43.577
# And it's super-sized
the nation

01:36:44.078 --> 01:36:47.080
# Super size, super size,
the American way

01:36:47.081 --> 01:36:50.584
# Throw it down, throw it down,
all day, every day

01:36:50.585 --> 01:36:54.088
# Super size, super size,
the American way

01:36:54.089 --> 01:36:56.340
# Getting fat, getting broke

01:36:56.341 --> 01:36:58.592
# Either way,
you're gonna pay

01:36:58.593 --> 01:37:02.096
# Super-size me

01:37:02.097 --> 01:37:05.600
# Super-size me

01:37:05.601 --> 01:37:08.353
# Super-size me

01:37:08.354 --> 01:37:11.104
# Super-size me

01:37:11.105 --> 01:37:12.606
if I can keep up this progress,

01:37:13.107 --> 01:37:16.110
I’ll have 25 pounds --
25 pounds.

01:37:16.111 --> 01:37:17.862
That's a lot of weight.

01:37:17.863 --> 01:37:19.489
# Kentucky fried just right

01:37:19.490 --> 01:37:21.053
# Chicken nugget, dip it twice

01:37:21.054 --> 01:37:22.616
# Biggie fries, enchilada,

01:37:23.117 --> 01:37:24.618
# Philly cheese,
drive-through diet

01:37:24.619 --> 01:37:26.370
# Pack on weight, party yak

01:37:26.371 --> 01:37:27.997
# Heart attack, back on track

01:37:27.998 --> 01:37:29.811
# Still so fat, slim fast

01:37:29.812 --> 01:37:31.624
# Slim slow, touch your toes

01:37:31.625 --> 01:37:33.377
# Finger-licking,
hit the border

01:37:33.378 --> 01:37:35.129
# Pull right up
and place your order

01:37:35.130 --> 01:37:36.631
# It's your way right away

01:37:36.632 --> 01:37:38.131
# You deserve a break today

01:37:38.132 --> 01:37:41.634
# Super size, super size,
the American way

01:37:41.635 --> 01:37:45.139
# Throw it down, throw it down,
all day, every day

01:37:45.140 --> 01:37:48.142
# Super size, super size,
the American way

01:37:48.642 --> 01:37:50.894
# Getting fat, getting broke

01:37:50.895 --> 01:37:53.147
# Either way, you're gonna pay

01:37:53.148 --> 01:37:55.399
# Super-size me

01:37:55.400 --> 01:37:57.650
# Super-size me

01:37:57.651 --> 01:37:59.653
put something in your mouth.

01:37:59.654 --> 01:38:01.154
# Super-size me

01:38:01.155 --> 01:38:03.157
can I get extra cheese
with that?

01:38:03.657 --> 01:38:04.657
# Super-size me

01:38:04.658 --> 01:38:06.660
what do you mean,
50 cents for extra cheese?

01:38:06.661 --> 01:38:08.161
# Super-size me

01:38:08.162 --> 01:38:10.164
I come here all the time!
hook a brother up!

01:38:10.165 --> 01:38:11.666
# Super-size me

01:38:11.667 --> 01:38:13.167
ooh! A buffet!

01:38:13.667 --> 01:38:15.168
# Super-size me

01:38:15.169 --> 01:38:17.171
all you can eat, all day.

01:38:17.172 --> 01:38:18.171
# Super-size me

01:38:18.172 --> 01:38:20.174
is that the biggest size
you got?

01:38:20.175 --> 01:38:21.674
# Super-size me

01:38:21.675 --> 01:38:23.677
I said I want it super sized.

01:38:23.678 --> 01:38:25.178
