Super-Size Me

Supersize me was a movie made in 2007, starring Morgan Spurlock. He documented his life while eating McDonalds for thirty days straight every meal. He didn’t eat or drink anything for thirty days unless it was from McDonalds. If asked to supersize his meal, Spurlock said yes. By the end of the thirty days he had eaten every menu items from McDonalds at least once. Before he started he was tested by three doctors, and when he was finished he was tested by the same three doctors. The three doctors were a general practitioner, a cardiologist, and a gastroenterologist. The move will defiantly make you think twice about eating fast food. Spurlock’s objective was to prove why Americans are getting so fast so quickly. Before he went on the thirty days McDonalds diet, Spurlock had an 11% body fat and by the end a 28% increase in body fat, and he gained 24.5 pounds.
What Spurlock did defiantly made me realize how fattening McDonalds is. I mean gaining almost 25 pounds in less than a month is unreal. I can’t believe that a few cheeseburgers and French fries will do that to you. Americans are getting so obese and it’s because of all of the advertisements everywhere. “I couldn't open up a magazine, you couldn't read a newspaper, and you couldn't turn on the TV without hearing about the obesity epidemic in America” (Morgan Spurlock). Hopefully every American will watch this movie so that they will stop eating so much fast food.
