Super Size Me
Morgan Spurlock subjects himself to a diet based only on McDonald's fast food three times a day for thirty days without exercising to try to prove why so many Americans are fat or obese. He submits himself to a complete check-up by three doctors, comparing his weight along the way, resulting in a scary conclusion.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
The first must-see film of the year.
It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
We had to watch this movie several times at school. Though most of my classmates are too stupid to understand the concept of fast food being unhealthy, this movie is well made and entertaining.
Mc Donald's takes a punch from the documentary supersize me. Directed by Morgan Spurlok and staring Morgan Spurlok, it documents the Mc Donald's involvement in the obesity epidemic raging through America.Filmed over the course of 30 days and chronicling Morgan's Mcdiet in which he must eat from McDonald's 3 times a day breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The point of this is to see what changes, if any, occur physically. Mc Donald's claims that their food can be a part of a balanced, healthy diet and that they don't tell you to eat from their chains but supersize me zones in on the very effective child manipulation of which McDonalds is spearheading .I would give this film a 9/10; it proved an enjoyable insight to the workings of the super-chain McDonalds.
https://skeptoid.com/episodes/4088 I would suggest you guys with the righteous delight of having consumed this fast-food movie to use your own brain when making a decision on the validity of something to believe in.Hopefully this is not the most scientific and convincing bit of media you rely on.Things have to be logical and facts-based. And not just designed to get money from. I am not a fast-food fan at all. Not at all. However one needs to careful and make sure that the statements are proved and that it works both ways.
First watched this movie when i was at high school, it was a great idea to alert us, french student, against danger of being a junk-food eater. Few years later, as a medical student, i love watching this kind of movie. I would advice to all to watch "Supersize me", "Fed Up!" and "Food matters". I'm really touched by the fight against those lobbies. We don't have any nutritional formation, but as everybody knows "We are what we eat", this would take its sense by seeing this.The success of companies like McDo or KFC shows us that they are winning a fight, they are making us eating their food, and that's the most alarming problem. Why are teens becoming fat? And so do adults? In this drama, Morgan Spurlock is actually risking his own life in the quest of these answers. That could appear totally dumb but we need this kind of people, courageous and who want to change things. While watching this, you would be confronted to a hard reality, we don't see how things are moving. For the new generation, that's already normal to see junk-food restaurants at each street corner. Watch this, and share it to your friends, you don't have any excuse. It is totally free, go on Youtube, and let's change. I know that this review is very personal but i don't think you could watch it without changing yourself.You can not dislike this movie, simply because it shows us how reality is, if you don't like it, so you don't like how our world is, and then it is up to you to change it at your own scale.
