In reply to the discussion: Analyzing Budweiser's Hypocritical, Anti-Craft Beer Super Bowl Ad [View all]leveymg
(36,418 posts)9. A steady diet of either industrial product will kill you, slowly.
Look at what happened to the unfortunate volunteer who ate only at Mickey D's for a month.
Super Size Me is a 2004 American documentary film directed by and starring Morgan Spurlock, an American independent filmmaker. Spurlock's film follows a 30-day period from February 1 to March 2, 2003 during which he ate only McDonald's food. The film documents this lifestyle's drastic effect on Spurlock's physical and psychological well-being, and explores the fast food industry's corporate influence, including how it encourages poor nutrition for its own profit.
Spurlock ate at McDonald's restaurants three times per day, eating every item on the chain's menu at least once. Spurlock consumed an average of 20.92 megajoules or 5,000 kcal (the equivalent of 9.26 Big Macs) per day during the experiment. (An intake of around 2,500kcal is more generally recommended "within a healthy balanced diet,.. [for] a man .. to maintain his weight"[3]) As a result, the then-32-year-old Spurlock gained 24½ lbs. (11.1 kg), a 13% body mass increase, a cholesterol level of 230, and experienced mood swings, sexual dysfunction, and fat accumulation in his liver. It took Spurlock fourteen months to lose the weight gained

I think the problem with IPAs is that some use the hops to mask shitty beer.

Even though their beer sucks, they probably had good will because of the Lab puppy/Clydesdale ad

Most of the craft brew choices I never see, as they are consumed locally to their manufacture.

It is a smart ad, they are going for the guys that drink beer by the case and the 12 pack.

I am not a fan of Corona but Negra Modelo is good. I think Pacifico is good too.
