Super Size Me Movie Review

If you want to know anything about fast food and the health effects it can have on your body, Super Size Me is definitely the movie to watch. They show Morgan Spirlock, a normal healthy guy and the effects McDonald's has on his body over the course of a month on a solely McDonald's diet. It was smart that Morgan used doctors, nutritionists and an exercise physiologist, without this he may not have been able to keep track of all of the effects, plus if something went wrong people would have no idea why a very healthy 30 year old was suddenly very unhealthy and at risk for heart failure. I thought it was very interesting how it has become an epidemic throughout america. Fast-food and overweight people are continuing to grow to an unhealthy point, so much so that 95 out of 100 nutritionists agree its an epidemic. For me, it makes me want to watch my own weight eventhough i am not considered obese at this point in my life, i do want to be very aware now and make sure i will not fall into that category at any point in the future. I commend Morgan for taking the time and risking his health to show America exactly what fast food can do to your body and how important it is to take action and not just blame everything on the fast food industry.
