Over the time of the movie there were a few press releases, informing consumers on the distortion of real facts.  Angered that the “big tobacco” companies are held at a stronger public standard then unhealthy food according to the American council of Science and Health (ACSH).  After the ACSH felt a need to stand in another company called Tech Central Station took the public policy to inform the consumer again on the dangers of obesity. Our mission: to provide visitors with the facts and science-based information on obesity and nutrition to balance this film's 'gross-out' performance art." Basing all their information on facts and science. The third one came from another person creating her own documentary on McDonald’s eating and 30 day limit. Sosa Whaley stated: “She responded, "Well, everyone has to have someone to speak out for them. And, you know, I don't know why we want to demonize corporations so much. I mean, let's face it, we hear about the bad ones – and it's really bad when you get an Enron or a WorldCom or whatever – but most of the corporations out there are just trying to provide people with what they want." In the entire movie Supersize me was pointing blame at these huge conglomerate business that are out to make a buck.  People might be surprised to learn that on the whole we agree with Super Size Me’s message - that it’s important to have a balanced diet and take exercise – something we’ve been saying for a long time. This was a quote from McDonald’s UK position on ‘Super Size Me’ UK Press Releases, August, 2004
I think fast is okay but in moderations, no one really eats breakfast lunch and dinner from one place.  Incorporating a healthy diet is key.  The representatives from you the UK I strongly agree with.
