Super Size Me

     I'm not a huge fan of documentaries and have only seen a handful of them all they way through. One of the most memorable documentaries I have seen has been Super Size Me because of its more lighthearted nature and its extremely interesting plot. This film is so captivating because just about everyone has had McDonald's and almost everyone who has eaten there has found something that they like to eat there.

                             

     At first the idea of eating at McDonald's everyday might seem appealing, but as we soon find out, the health concerns and dietary risks far outweigh the initial appeal. One part of the trial that made it all the more difficult was that Morgan Spurlock had to "super-size" his meal anytime one of the McDonald's employee asked him if he would like to. This only added to the health risks/problems and at one time Spurlock's doctor told him he had to quit doing this diet or he could face major health repercussions. The reason this documentary stuck out to me over others was because of its relevance and the sheer magnitude of the task that Spurlock decided to put himself through. I think this documentary serves as a good reminder of the negatives of eating too much fast food and its definitely worth the watch.
