Michael Moore is certainly a bundle (ok, big bundle) of contradictions.
He criticizes the costs of health care, but his own life style contributes to this. A study last year in the Journal of the American Medicdal Association showed that, even correcting for socio economic status, Americans are less healthy than Europeans. It seems a safe assumption that Moore's weight is an example, which applies to other Americans, of why this is so, increasing the cost of health care,
Moore also does a good job of showing the faults in our health care system, but also white washes the problems elsewhere.

Does someone have to be perfect in order to point out an ill in society?
