In SUPER SIZE ME, filmmaker Morgan Spurlock unravels the American obesity epidemic by interviewing experts nationwide and by subjecting himself to a "McDonald's only" diet for thirty days straight. His Sundance award-winning feature is as entertaining as it is horrifying as it dives into corporate responsibility, nutritional education, school lunch programs and how we as a nation are eating ourselves to death.

"For 30 days, Morgan Spurlock consumed nothing but food from McDonald's, an experiment in bad living that frames a jaunty critique of junk gastronomy and corporate power. Like a thinner, less aggressive Michael Moore, the director talks to consumers, experts and food-industry flacks, weaving alarming statistics about rampant obesity with visits to the doctor and double-quarter-pounder-with-cheese combo meals. The film is an entertaining statement of the obvious, though its big questions - do corporations serve our need or enslave our bodies and soul?, are public health problems caused by capitalist rapacity or personal choice? - are not as simple as Mr. Spurlock would have us believe." - A. O. Scott, The New York Times

To begin, he was a health fanatic. He hardly eats anything cholesterol heavy in his diet. This being said, there is no way he should be eating this food (rich in cholesterol) because his body already makes the proper amount for him when he is not taking in any. Any freshman in high school taking AP Biology can tell you it is a reaction with enzymes that create a negative feedback to decrease cholesterol production when he ingests cholesterol and a positive one when doesn't.

No one has been able to replicate what allegedly happened to Morgan Spurlock in this movie. It's pseudoscience, folks. I'm not saying that a fast food diet would be healthy, but it wouldn't have nearly as many detrimental effects, nor cause them as quickly, as this movie suggests.

I purchased the movie "'Super Size Me" on Google play for my daughter to watch for her health class assignment and after I purchased the movie it wouldn't play on my lap top. I didn't get to view the movie and I couldn't get a refund on my credit card. Not a happy customer.
