Super Size Me
This movie follows Morgan Spurlock through a 1 month long experiement to ONLY eat McDonald's food for one whole month. He has a doctor do a physical analysis of him before he starts to establish his current health. He's healthy. As you watch him dive in (loving it as you might say) he is like a kid in a candy store being alowed to eat McD's for every meal without his mom yelling at him. After about 2 weeks his attitude is radically different. By 4 weeks he is a different person. This movie seems inspired by the book Fast Food Nation: The Dark Side of the All-American Meal by Eric Schlosser. It is the truth of what will happen from fast food. You get fat and unhealthy. But more important is seeing the mental and physical changes Morgan goes through in only 1 month. People have been eating this stuff for years. Also a must see is the french fry experiment he does in the DVD's bonus features. They grab many items off of a McD's menu and put them in glass jars sitting out. They also put a homemade burger and fries in a jar. The natural burger and fries goes bad in a few weeks. Not the McD's stuff. They go a few months before they look bad enough not to eat. And the french fries, I think they went 6 months without even looking 1 day old. Scary. How is this possible? What do they do to the food? I don't know and I work in the industry. The book mentioned answers to many of these questions. The movie is a must see. 5 out of 5 eyes
