Super Size Me (2004)

Genre: Documentary
Directed by: Morgan Spurlock
Cast: Morgan Spurlock
Running Time:98 minutes

 


In light of the rising amount of obesity in America and of the increasing corporate influence of the fast-food industry, filmmaker Morgan Spurlock embarked on a 30-day social experiment of eating nothing but McDonald’s three times a day, while exercising as little as humanly possible. Over the course of a month, while he was being monitored by a few doctors and a dietician, Spurlock’s health quickly deteriorated.

I remember seeing this documentary when it first came out. I loved it then and it was still good. It is quite an eye opener. Though, I must say, the stuff about Jared of Subway fame has not aged so well.
