About the food industry slowly poisoning us. I think he even mentioned aspartame along with dyes. Again, anyone have actual research about this stuff?

I hadn't heard of Shapiro's book, but I have seen "Super Size Me." And while, like you, I saw Spurlock's point about advertising to children, beyond that his assertions and conclusions were tenuous at best. Looks like he's becoming not much more than a Michael Moore or Ann Coulter. What it comes down to is that the desire to dominate is a trait shared equally by those on the left and right. Adam Smith has a quote similar to Mencken's, "I have never known much good done by those who affected to trade for the public good." Hell yeah, dude! Nice post.
