Corrected entry: During the interview with Marion Nestle, PhD and Chair of nutrition and food studies, she claims that a calorie is the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of one liter of water one degree Celsius. That is a very common mistake. She is talking about a kilocalorie (kcal) which is a thousand calories. One calorie is the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water one degree Celsius. That is 4.1868 joule of energy. (01:03:20)
Corrected entry: When Morgan is laying out his plans, he says he will not get any form of exercise, except for walking, yet it is later revealed that he has been having sex with his girlfriend - a form of exercise. (00:11:15 - 01:05:25)
Correction: Morgan meant he would not do any extra physical activity that could result in weight loss. Although sex is a little exercise, it isn't regarded as a way of getting exercise or even losing weight. Furthermore, Alex, his girlfriend, says she is on top during sex which means Morgan is exerting himself that much less.
Corrected entry: The documentary shows a graphic showing the fattest cities in the U.S. If you look at Florida, Miami is spelled wrong. It is spelled "Maimi" instead of "Miami."
Correction: Miami is spelled correctly.
Corrected entry: The opening quote wrongly states that Ray Kroc is the founder of McDonald's. Kroc was the entrepreneur who initiated the McDonald's franchising system, but he only did so after McDonald's had already been running for some time. The original McDonald's' site - and, indeed, the "fast food" service system - was founded and operated by the McDonald brothers.
Correction: McDonald's is a corporation. Ray Kroc was the founder of this corporation, regardless of the McDonald brothers' hamburger stand being open first. Therefore, the statement that Ray Kroc founded McDonald's is correct.
Correction: Actually, the submission is the common mistake: A calorie (small c) is the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of a gram of water one degree Celsius. A Calorie (capital c) is the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of a liter of water one degree. A Calorie (capital c) and a kilocalorie are the same thing, and when we're referring to food, we're just about ALWAYS talking about Calories (even though, in common usage, we don't capitalize it). I know it's confusing, but a quick Google search of "what is a calorie" will verify this correction.
