There's literally a section in the documentary where his doc is like 'You're getting liver damage from this diet. I don't believe it. I've only ever seen this from alcoholics.'

So in other words, the documentary was so successful in decrying the rampant hyperconsumption that was accepted in its time, that such rampant is no longer considered acceptable or normal. And on that basis, you consider it to be facile, obvious... "problematic"?

No. It was based off of a lie and people don't mention that. But sure, invent whatever you want.

Literally nobody references Supersize Me as a "study". It isn't, and it hasn't ever claimed to be

I was literally shown it in school as a teenager while the entire time it was referred to as a study. I've also had numerous conversations with people who call it a study. Moreover, my post claimed that people TREAT it as a study. So, yes. People do claim it to be but I never even claimed that they did. You are not an infinite font of knowledge, you don't know everything.

Whenever you come up with similarly hot takes, the comments always end up being filled with a you offering litany of obtuse bad reasoning.

You've made one comment on one of my posts. A post where I said I didn't like chocolate plugs being introduced at the bottom of ice-cream cones that otherwise have no chocolate there-in. Both you and everyone else in that thread had a fucking meltdown at the concept of an ice-cream cone that had no chocolate anywhere else other than the plug. They exist. I live in Canada. While the meme was talking about Cornettos specifically, I was just generally talking about ice-cream cones. You, however, refused to accept this as possibility. Instead, you acted like your own failed understanding of what was being said as the reality of what was being said. Much like in the comment I'm replying to now, you projected fucking hard and got angry at me over it. It's boring and a waste of my time.

Your failed grasp at what is being said does not equate to reality. Reply to this or don't. I don't care. I'll never see it.
