Super Size Me
The Skinny: A young man takes an in-depth, Michael Moore-style look at the fast food industry and its ties to obesity.
The Good: The film is creative and interesting as it presents a good case for cutting McDonald’s – and other fast food – from your diet altogether. What I especially like is how the filmmaker manages to go for the fast food industry’s throat without coming off as angry or bitter. He does this by going on a 30-day diet of nothing but McDonald’s food, describing in detail how the food is affecting his health, mood, and relationships.
The Bad: I didn’t feel like eating for the next two days.
The Ugly: A yummy scene where the filmmaker throws up after going through the drive-thru.
The Bottom Line: A highly informative look at fast food and health. I recommend it…as long as you never want to eat McDonald’s again.
