This movie totally kicks a@@. I saw it yesterday. This guy Morgan Spurlock decided to eat McDonalds three times a day for 30 days- nothing else. The documentary takes you through his journey, with some interesting statistics and lots of funny stuff thrown in. He points out how obesity in the US is at its all time high and how much this affects the health care system (gall bladder surgery, diabetes, etc). Really interesting stuff.
You see him walking to work and passing 3 or 4 McD's on his way in a 3 mile radius! You see him travel the country tracking what he eats at each McD's and he supersizes only when asked. You watch him throw up and have mood swings. You watch him try to think and function. He is monitored by MD's the whole time (who give blood tests at the beginning and every so many days and are astounded at his weight gain, cholesterol level, and liver toxicity). He started off really healthy and ended up sick at the end. Good thing his girlfriend, the vegan chef, whipped him back into shape!!!
Interestingly enough, McD's has now posted nutrition labels!!
