SUPER SIZE ME

The fatter people are getting, the bigger fast-food restaurants are, especially McDonald's. McDonald's is now the biggest fast-food corporation in America. McDonald's restaurants exist almost everywhere in the United States. After watching the documentary film Super Size Me, I was in a deep shock how drastically our health can change for worst when eating fast food. This movie made me think twice about eating fast food.
Morgan Spurlock decided to make a documentary on just how unhealthy fast food is.
In the documentary Spurlock goes to show how people are becoming obese by eating too much fast food. In the United States obesity is second to smoking when it comes to most preventable cause of death. Spurlock ate McDonald’s for thirty days, three times a day. He had to follow rules like: he could only supersize if he was asked, he could only eat three meals a day, and he only ate McDonald’s food and had to eat everything on the menu at least once.
Morgan’s health was monitored by three different doctors. They ran blood work and monitored him closely. His health changed greatly by the end of the thirty days. He gained 24.5 pounds. He was depressed and had a constant sick feeling including heart pains and difficult breathing. Spurlock's documentary shows that people who eat fast food are much more likely to develop diabetes than those who don't.
McDonald’s spends millions of dollars to promote food that helps in the obesity rate. They would do better to spend the same amount of money to promote the healthier foods on their menu. McDonald’s also appeals to children. Children love going to McDonalds for the happy meals and toys they get with the order. Childhood obesity has grown due to fast food. Fast food is dangerous. It leads to obesity. McDonald’s offers healthier food but they do not promote it enough! The normal person doesn’t go into McDonald’s to order salads and apples. Fast food is going to be around but Americans need to be educated to the health dangers they are facing.
