In the movie Super Size me, I thought it was very nasty that Morgan had to eat one of everything off the menu at Mcdonalds in just one month. Me personally, I could not even get close to eating that much food in one month at all. Morgan must have felt guilty about eating all of that food when he was so skinny to start with. He was like only 123 pounds, after eating Mcdonalds for a month he went up to 267.Morgan had seemed very depressed and he started to have very bad chest pains after eating all of that food there. If I ever had to eat all of that food....
For example, it shows us the risks of eating fast food, specifically McDonald’s fast food. Morgan Spurlock ate nothing but McDonald’s fast food for thirty days straight. He gained 25 pounds and also doubled his chances for heart disease. It took Morgan 14 months to lose his extra weight and he said it was nothing close to being easy. In addition, this movie shows the ways schools are affecting obesity in their students.

Being monitored by three physicians; a general practitioner, a cardiologist, and a gastroenterologist, Spurlock kept track of how his health was being harmed each and every day to prove his point that McDonald’s, as well as every fast food restaurant, isn’t the best choice of nutritional food. The review is for the Los Angeles Times to consider publishing as one of its reviews of the film. The Problem: McDonald’s is a revenue making giant that sells fast food meals without much regard to the effects it will have on the health of society. One of the primary reasons people are obese today in the United States is because of fast food consumption. It is after all is the easiest and fastest way to get full when one is in a rush, especially with it being cheap and conveniently available almost at every corner of any major street in Los Angeles and every other city in the world today for that matter.
The movie Super Size Me is an American documentary film about understanding the benefits as well as the troubles of specific eating habits. There are many dangers of eating fast food; physical and psychological effects. Morgan Spurlock, the documentary’s main character, ate nothing but McDonald’s fast food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner for thirty days straight. We watched as Morgan’s weight increased drastically, his health weakened, and he began to show signs of depression. In addition, this documentary also illustrates the fast food industry’s corporate influence, the spread of obesity throughout the United States, and the lawsuit against McDonalds, on behalf of two women allegedly obese as a result of eating McDonald’s food.
Even though Spurlock makes many valid points in his documentary, I still believe that the eating habits of Americans today are based on their own choices and they should be responsible for those choices. According to the documentary Super-Size Me by Morgan Spurlock, 60% of adults in America are either overweight or obese. Spurlock decided to make the film when he heard about two teenage girls who filed lawsuits blaming McDonalds for them being overweight. His experiment involved him eating only McDonalds for 30 days to see what would happen to his body. Spurlock decided to follow four main rules during this experiment.
He allows himself to eat nothing but the unhealthy food from this restaurant for a whole month abiding by certain regulations. He had to eat at a McDonald’s restaurant at least three times a day during this binge, and was required to have every food item on the menu at least one time. However, perhaps the most crucial rule in this experiment was that if at any time one of the cashiers asked him if he would like to “supersize” his meal, Spurlock was forced to oblige. Throughout this month Spurlock gained a total of 24.5 lbs and suffered from mood swings, sexual dysfunction, and an alarming accumulation of fat on his liver. Also, his body mass increased by 13% and his cholesterol level escalated to an unhealthy 230.
BACKGROUND- SuperSize Me is a 2004 documentary film by award winning playwright Morgan Spurlock . Conceived when he learned two teenage girls were suing McDonalds for making them obese, Spurlock endeavors to document the physical and psychological changes that can result from fast food. The premise is to eat only McDonald's food for 30 days as well as limit his fitness regime to that of the average american. Meals, doctors appoints and interviews with leading experts are filmed in an effort to present McDonalds as a hazard to our nutritional well being. Statistics show that today, 2013, more americans can be classified as obese than ever before.
After a few week using food from giant McDonald's three times a day Spurlock feels bad and is getting weigh very quickly. What is surprising in this experiment is that fact that he is gain weight faster and feels worse than itself could have predicted, his team of doctors who are supervise his health have to stop him from this experiment after they observe the abnormality in his liver and other organs. This experiment in the field of dietetics raises an important question: is really like eating fast food foods cause dramatic multiplication of the number of people suffering from obesity? What actually make the food like fast food to be so unhealthy for us? There are other factors involved?
Critical Analysis of Super Size Me McDonald’s feeds more people each day than the entire population of Spain. It is facts such as these that inspired independent filmmaker Morgan Spurlock to investigate deeply into the full effects of America's favorite fast food joint. However, Spurlock chose not to take the typical approach. Instead, he chose to launch a thirty day trial diet called the "McDiet." Over the course of a month, Spurlock commited himself to a diet consisting purely of McDonalds menu items.
