Super Size Me
By Brittany B., Newark, DE
At least once in your life you have probably eaten at McDonald’s. “Super Size Me” is about Morgan Spurlock, a skinny, healthy filmmaker who eats only McDonald’s food for a month. One of his rules is if a clerk asks if he wants to Super Size his meal, he must say yes.
During the experiment, he sees several doctors to determine if what he is doing is harmful. The doctors agree that as a consequence he will have a significant weight gain and maybe even suffer heart problems. Regardless, he continues with his experiment to prove how fattening and unhealthy McDonald’s really is.
While watching this movie, I learned that a diet of McDonald’s food could be dangerous for your heart and your weight if you eat too much of it too often.
I liked this movie because it shows the truth about fast-food restaurants and how often Americans eat at them. In the end, the star explains that it took him a very long time to lose the weight he gained. Although he didn’t have any health problems, but he came very close to developing them. The moral of the story is: if you super size your meal, you are super sizing yourself.
