Supersize This

Well, we read two articles on Super Size Me. Honestly, I feel that the one that was more critical about SSM based its entire argument on the Straw man Fallacy. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strawman. Morgans position in SSM was that fast food was not good for you. That was the entire point of his experiment. However, the article critical of his production never addressed this point. Instead, it talked about irrelivant facts and set up a straw man argument that fast food was not the only thing leading to the obesity epidemic (Other factors that are adding to this epidemic are actually addressed in SSM).
