"SuperMarket Me" - A documentary on my health problems from eating supermarket food
"SuperMarket Me" - A documentary on my health problems from eating at
the supermarket. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Jan 27, 2004 I coducted a study of the effects of eating food only from American supermarkets. The piece is intended to reveal the nature of the problem of obesity in America. Over the thirty day period my health deteriorated rapidly. My cholesterol went up by 59 points, I had problems with my vision, I was depressed and vomiting, I lost confidence in myself, and I considered becoming a woman. The documentary reveals the source of the health problems in America: fatty foods, sugar-rich foods, insufficient vegetables, mentholyptus, and mints. The result of eating these foods caused my blood pressure to increase by 14 pounds per square inch. By the third day, the vomiting I endured was so frequent and spontaneous that people called me "projectile boy". I am submitting my 184 minute feature production to the Cannes Film Festival, in the hopes that it will get noticed big directors like Steven Speilberg, James Cameron, Raymond Martino, and Nacho Vidal. Oh by the way, I only ate corned beef, heavy cream, butter, kosher salt, and sudafed. But it was all purchased from American supermarkets. I call it "The American Supermarket Diet". Does it seem like crappy logic to anyone else? McDonalds has salads, parfaits, the mclean burger, and probably other stuff I don't know about because I never eat there myself. (I remember the salads were actually very good.) You can eat only mcdonalds for thirty days and end up looking even better than Jared. |

I just looked it up at usenet.com. It's where people make posts like "hitler was right!!" Funny that it's called "trolling"- I mean trolls are passively evil but doing something like that would is pretty active... |

Funny that it's called "trolling"- I mean trolls are passively evil but doing something like that would is pretty active... Wrong metaphor. Trolling is a type of fishing that involves running a boat at low speed while trailing a baited hook through the water. In the Usenet sense, trolling means "fishing" for emotional responses. Your "mythical beings who live under bridges and waylay hapless travelers" interpretation is a common misunder- standing. It's what causes so many people to erroneously refer to people who troll as "trolls." The correct term is *troller.* A troll is a provocative article posted by a troller, just as a hack is an ingenious stunt performed by a hacker.

"SuperMarket Me" - A documentary on my health problems from eating supermarket food

I think the film maker putting out 'Supersize Me' at the Canne's film festival was actually trying to make a statement about society in general and the fact that many people don't really consider the health dangers of eating unhealthy everyday. Big Macs and Meatlover's pizza have become an every day part of life for many Americans and I think the documentary's bizarre experiment was designed to shed light on how we overlook the dangers of fast food because it has become so woven into our lifestyle. It is interesting to contrast what people eat today with what was the norm for my middle class family growing up: three meals a day, each with a protein, a veggie and some bread, and a snack before bed. Cake, pie, pizza, and any fast or restaurant food was a special treat with maybe a monthly appearance. -- Scott Johnson "Always with the excuses for small legs.
