Super Size Me
Why Are Americans So Fat?
Document About Morgan Spurlock's 2004 Film
In 2004, New York filmmaker Morgan Spurlock embarked on a 30-day experiment to eat nothing but McDonald's food. His film, "Super Size Me," documented the effects of his unhealthy diet on his physical and mental health.
Spurlock's experiment revealed some startling truths about the American diet. In just 30 days, he gained 24 pounds, his cholesterol levels skyrocketed, and he developed fatty liver disease. He also experienced mood swings, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating.
"Super Size Me" was a wake-up call for many Americans. It showed the dangers of eating a diet high in processed foods, sugar, and fat. The film also sparked a national conversation about the need for healthier food options.
Spurlock's experiment has had a lasting impact on the American food landscape. In the years since the film's release, McDonald's has made a number of changes to its menu, including removing super-sized portions and adding healthier options.
"Super Size Me" is a powerful reminder of the importance of making healthy choices. It is a film that everyone should watch, regardless of their eating habits.
