No, Supersize Me! [1]
Submitted by Diane Farsetta [2] on
As McDonald's unveiled its latest marketing ploy - healthier menu options, including "Go Active!" Adult Happy Meals - one free enterprise and "personal freedom" activist is trying to prove that the fast food giant's current menu isn't so bad. Soso Whaley [3], an adjunct fellow with the Competitive Enterprise Institute [4], an animal trainer and the host of the "Camo Country Outdoors Show," has placed herself on a month-long McDonald's-only diet. She's also making a film about her experience, in direct response to Morgan Spurlock's unflattering documentary "Super Size Me [5]." Whaley called Spurlock's film "anti-corporate," "anti-fast food" and "junk science." McDonald's has not endorsed Whaley's project.
