Super-Size me

Today in wellness class we finished watching Super-Size Me... If you haven’t seen it go watch it NOW! It's an amazing documentary about the effects of fast food on our bodies. Basically it's a guy, called Morgan Spurlock, who is in a perfectly good physical state, who decides to undergo a diet for 30 days of JUST McDonald’s food. The

rules are everything he eats must be bought at McDonalds and if asked to supersize he must say yes. Throughout the experiment he has regular medical checkups between the first and last major ones in which all the tests are done to find his various levels of cholesterol, fat, etc.
In this documentary you see how bad fast food really is for you, as well as the marketing schemes and publicity that puts fast food ahead of healthy food for most Americans. It researches how many American's are now obese and goes in to investigating how and why as well as obviously the effect of these disastrous diets. It’s frightening how little most of us know about nutrition and how badly some foods can affect your body. In just 30 days there were numerous of radical changes in Morgan Spurlock's physical and emotional state. Not only that but none of the doctors had predicted the damage that this food could have on him and where surprised to see how quickly this food can become deadly and addictive.
