You hit the nail right on the head, BBS. There is much more to these types of documentaries than whats on the surface. The whole gimmick of eating McDonalds for a month was really just to add to the arguement and create an interesitng angle.
Documentaries aren't going to change many people's minds anyway, they are just another resource. Someone could make a similar documentary regarding smoking, and it probably wouldn't change many smokers minds about their habits.
