Counter-Claims sub-section is of horrendous quality

Goodness, these sources are flimsy. The second paragraph is the opinions of some random person named Soso Whaley but does not explain who she is or why we should value her opinion. A cursory internet search implies the only thing she is notable for is releasing a movie that contradicts the film in question. The third paragraph talks about the experience of a high school teacher and is not a response from a health expert of any kind, thus fairly irrelevant. the Fourth paragraph is rather confusingly worded, but appears to be about something that is actually in the film and thus isn't really a counter-claim.

I propose deleting all three of these paragraphs. There are good arguements against the film, but none of these qualify. Akir Ikasu (talk) 01:36, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unfounded Claims

“Spurlock consumed an average of 20.9 megajoules or 5,000 kcal (the equivalent of 9.26 Big Macs) per day during the experiment.”

this should probably read “Spurlock claimed to have consumed” since his food logs have never been released and he has substantiated the claim. I am making the change. 2603:800C:2EF0:8190:EDF0:B754:52FC:3A89 (talk) 04:42, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
