Super Size Me

I choose the movie Super Size Me. I already seen it once in high school but I thought it would be interesting to analyze it and really see the harm that he's putting on his body. See when I first say the movie I was younger and hearing how someone could only eat McDonalds for a time period sounded wonderful to me. Let me back up, see I was raised by my grandmother and my mom who only believed in home cooked meals daily. I remember when getting a piece of gum was a treat for me. So can you even imagine how I felt to eat fast food. Okay so let's get back to the film, it was basically about a man going days only eating McDonalds food. The title comes from when they asked him if he wanted to "super size" he would have to say yes! It was interesting to see how he went from absolutely loving it to completely not wanting to see the McDonalds sign. He had to eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner and only that. We seen on camera how he got sick off of it and literally see his health decrease. In the beginning he went to 3 different doctors just to make sure he was in good shape before he began this process and all of them agreed he was fine. Unfortunately the food and his body did not mix very well. On camera we see him throwing up as he continues to have to consume the processed food day after day. We began to literally see the toll that McDonalds food places on people and how it isn't good for them at all.

I think of mcdonalds as a treat kinda like something you know your not suppose to eat but yet you find yourself in the drive thur-line. If you think about it, all the really good things to eat aren't really that good for you. People should treat fast food like a treat not depend on it for nourishment. I understand it's quick, fast and cheap but you have to think of how your body will react to it.

  1. It's the culture we live in. We know it is bad for us, and yet we continue to eat it because it is "fast" and "cheap." But what our wallet doesn't know, is that our heart is hurting after it.

    I saw this movie three times. And it always amazes me how disgusting it really is.

  2. Compared to cooking cheaply it doesn't seem McDonald's is all that cheap.
