Original Publish Date: March 11, 2022 In 2004, Morgan Spurlock made a movie that impacted millions.  And that's no understatement.  The movie did well at the box office, was nominated for an Oscar, and to this day, is shown in middle and high school health classes.   And yet, the claims are all dubious and Spurlock seems to just simply not like people who aren't thin and fit. This movie does bring...
