The award-winning director of "Roger & Me," "Bowling for Columbine" and "Sicko" is hard at work producing and directing his next film, "Fatso," said to be a harsh look at Michael Moore's health care system.
"It's undeniable that my health care system is broken," according to Moore.
The director claims that the problem with his health care system is that America's rich and powerful refuse to recognize Michael Moore's basic right to be smaller than the average 2 1/2 car garage.
"I mean, look at me, do I look healthy? I'm enormous. It looks like my neck's eating my head. My arteries are more congested than the LA freeway system at rush hour. If I'm not proof that my health care system is broken, nothing is."
In the film "Fatso," Moore also exposes a top-secret health care industry conspiracy designed to brainwash Americans into believing that they should avoid taking health care advice from a morbidly obese film maker.
"They tried to discredit 'Sicko' by saying that designing a nation's health care system around the advice of a really fat slob would be like letting Lindsay Lohan run NASA," according to Moore.
In spite of the criticisms, Moore does his best to shrug off the ad hominem attacks and focus on reality.
"Take a look at countries with nationalized health care systems, such as Cuba and Canada. I weigh much less there. That's a fact."
I asked Moore the chord he hopes to strike with "Fatso."
"To rile up some old fashioned American call-to-action, that's all I can hope for," he said, just before getting stuck in the doorway, looking back, and saying, "See what I mean?"
Filmed entirely on location in a Flint, Michigan Krispy Kreme, Moore hopes that "Fatso" will leave viewers wanting to keep eating until somebody does something about Michael Moore's broken health care system.
