Sounds cheap, doesn't it? Now imagine he actually didn't have to die, there was just a chance he'd have to. Extremely cheesy. Obviously, the pill is not that bad ... but it's quite bad as well.
So far in Naruto, everyone who used a move similar to that faced dire consequences, Lee got beaten up by Dosu, Sarutobi was killed and spends eternity in the Death God's belly, and the other time Lee used the Gates, he got beaten up and crippled. It would be cheap if Chouji managed to take out someone who was simply way stronger than him, without even dying. The scene was bad enough as is. Huh? You simply have to eat a lot of food. It's not that hard to get fat. Surely, it would take months, probably a year at most, but if you really intend to get as fat as fast as possible it shouldn't take two years.
Chouji didn't believe in himself in the end? I just don't think so. In the end, he pretty much proved his own worth (by taking the cheap and cheesy pill).

you mistake chouji, the pill is the ninjutsu of his clan, they way they eat and who knows what else is training to be able to handle these type of food pills, these pills are part of their skills or strength. You really have no idea if chouji was training to use the pills, or if the mere fact he was able to use it so long speaks to his training. Maybe his father can use each pill more easily and for longer because of training. Basically the pill is part of his abilities as a ninja, its teh secret and skill of his clan.
and to get seriously obese takes some time. a move you have to train for a year to use and will cause you serious bodily damage is hardly a technique that will ensure you a fight or whatever, and really his opponent did the same exact thing only his technique wont kill him. why is cursed seal better than a food pill?
as far as chouji being useless to the story sure he is if you make him that way, but what charachter in this series serves any purpose other than naruto and sasuke? everyone else can be replaced, should we kill them all to develop teh story or should we develop the charachters to develop the story?
