After eating a diet of McDonald's fast food three times a day for a month straight Spurlock proves the physical and mental effects of consuming fast food. Spurlock also provides a look at the food culture in America through it's schools corporations and politics. "Super Size Me" is a movie that sheds a new light on what has become one of our nation's biggest health problems: obesity.System Requirements:Running Time: 100 Min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: DOCUMENTARIES/MISC. Rating: PG-13 UPC: 043396085435 Manufacturer No: 08543 Amazon.com: Filmmaker Morgan Spurlock, rejected five times by the USC film school, won the best director award at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival for this alarmingly personal investigation into the health hazards wreaked by our fast food nation. Under extensive medical supervision, Spurlock subjects himself to a steady diet of McDonald's cuisine for 30 days just to see what happens. In less than a week, his ordinarily fit body and equilibrium undergo dark and ugly changes: Spurlock grows fat, his cholesterol rockets north, his organs take a beating, and he becomes subject to headaches, mood swings, symptoms of addiction, and lessened sexual energy. The gimmick is too obvious to sustain a feature documentary; Spurlock actually spends most of the film probing insidious ways that fast food companies worm their way into school lunchrooms and the hearts of young children who spend hours in McDonald's playrooms. French fries never looked more nauseating. --Tom Keogh Average Rating:
 Rating:  - One of my favesI bought this DVD because I had heard it was really good, and I was certainly not let down! It really opened my eyes as to just how terrible fast food is and what lack of nutritional education is doing to adults and children. I would recommend this film to anyone! Rating: - ExcellentMorgan Spurlock is everything Michael Moore pretends to be as a documentarian. I recently caught his documentary Super Size Me at a budget theater & hope the DVD will have many features. For those who don't know SSM is the best political documentary this year- far better than MM's lamentable Fahrenheit 9/11. Both films have baddies- W. Bush & McDonald's, both have their filmmakers as stars- MM & MS, but MS has a few things going for him that MM doesn't- 1) a penchant for being honest, 2) ...

Rating: - Great MovieThis movie is especially important to be viewed by families who have small children on up, a real reality check on American eatting habits. Rating: - Shock & Awe Diet !This is a personal testimonial to shock and awe the fast food population. He is so brave to test on McDiet 3 times a day for 30 days and evaluate the effect and impact on his body, vital organs and function in an unqualified unscientific experiment. Fast food industry such as McDonald is an American free market success story in offering a popular meal fast, inexpensive and tasty not from your local kitchen but from the factory headquarter with one standard formula.
