I saw this last night. Some reactions:
  • More graphic than I expected. I don't watch myself giving blood, and I didn't expect to see anyone else do it. And a somewhat more invasive procedure, as well.
  • This guy started out in great shape, and even the doctors were surprised at how fast things changed. Sure, he's just one guy, not everyone has the same reactions, etc, but wow. (And that guy in wherever-it-was who's eaten more than 19,000 Big Macs and has 140 cholesterol... nice genes, man.)
  • I knew some of the information shown (from Fast Food Nation, mostly), but the interviews with people... I hadn't realized how many people have so little information.
  • It seemed odd at times how some people's eyes or faces were blocked out. I couldn't figure out a pattern, though there were definitely more obese people that this happened to.
  • I was impressed to see where he went for interviews and information. Not only doctors and nutritionists, but gym teachers, school kids (from Worcester!), people on the street.

Definitely worth seeing.
