--Super Size Me--

Why are Americans so fat? Two words: fast food. What would happen if you ate nothing but fast food for an entire month? Filmmaker Morgan Spurlock does just that and embarks on the most perilous journey of his life. The rules? For 30 days he can't eat or drink anything that isn't on McDonald's menu; he must wolf three squares a day; he must consume everything on the menu at least once and supersize his meal if asked. Spurlock treks across the country interviewing a host of experts on fast food and an equal number of regular folk while chowing down at the Golden Arches. Spurlock's grueling drive-through diet spirals him into a physical and emotional metamorphosis that will make you think twice about picking up another Big Mac.

Results

Morgan Spurlock spent about five months in losing 20 pounds and another nine months to return to his original weight. He discusses at the end about the lack of healthy food among U.S. schools, and the fast food chains are luring the kids away from the healthy food. McDonald's kid-friendly advertising schemes are very successful, and mentions the dark side of the fast food industries. He states, "The bottom line, they're a business, no matter what they say, and by selling you unhealthy food, they make millions, and no company wants to stop doing that."

From the DVD version of the movie, a short epilogue was added to emphasize the McDonald's recent "healthy" menu items such as salads, and It is shown that these items can contain even more calories than hamburgers, if the customer have them with cheese and the dressing.
