After watching Super Size Me recently on my own accord I realized a few things about America. In the Movie (by the way you might not want to read this if you have not watched the movie yet) he enjoys the wonderful world of McDonalds for every meal, every day, For thirty days. That means nothing but McDonalds for breakfast, lunch and dinner. So not only does that kind of make me want to go a head and get sick before I actually eat the food, but it made think. Honestly a lot of Americans eat more fast food than they think they do. I am sure that on average Americans eat it once a week at least. So back to the movie. Thirty days of nothing but nastiness. But of course they do have some semi-good for you food on their menu but I am guessing there is actually not very much nutrients in those items. The object of the exercise was to see what would happen if he did this. Many doctors warned him not to do this because he could end up having some serious problems later. But of course he took the info and preceded with slight cation. He would only super size his order if he was asked to super size it and would still exercise as much as a normal average American would.

This exercise of eating McDonalds would have been the death of me. No joke I can hardly eat French fries so I am not sure how I would even finish a whole meal.

But with in a week his weight was up. His stomach was in a lot of pain. And generally he felt terrible.

The movie had alot of great and crazy moments for you to enjoy if you have not seen it.

From his experiment he learned quite a bit of information. First, I costs more to eat out everyday. Which is followed by a “duh” kind of statement. Second, His health was actually severely damaged by the amount of McDonalds he took in. Some doctors say he ate more McDonalds then someone should eat in 8 years. And after finishing with the movie and of course after is last McDonalds meal he went straight on to a detox diet in order to get all of the toxins out of his body.

This movie resulted in McDonalds removing the “supersize” option from their menu about two months later and they also started to provide many healthy options.

I think that this movie should be required as a movie shown during Gym class in schools for all ages. McDonalds is targeting the younger generations so in order to stop this craziness we must show these children the effects of McDonalds.

If you have not seen the movie here is a link to watch it for free
