"I craved this food
more and more when I ate it, and got massive headaches when I
didn't." - Morgan
Spurlock after his experiment was concluded
Why watch this?
This documentary shows just how dangerous a diet of fast food
can be.
Plot Summary:
Independent filmmaker, Morgan Spurlock, conducted an experiment
on himself: For 30 days, we was to consume only McDonald's food
for all meals. If offered, he had to Super Size his meal. Over
that period, he gained 25 lbs. and his cholesterol increased to
230; not to mention mood swings, sexual dysfunction issues and a
fatty liver.

Dad's Preview:
This film accomplished its goal to make more people aware of the
harm caused by fast food. A fat-filled, salty diet, accompanied and
a marketing blitz,
is standard fare for the likes of Wendy's, Taco Bell, and of
course, McDonald's. Within weeks of its release,
McDonalds discontinued its Super Size option, of course, denying
that the film was the reason. The good news, Morgan did not die
from consuming all that high-fat crap. He even lived to make a
sequel. |
