Morgan Spurlock's Super Size Me

Director Morgan Spurlock undergoes a body changing research in his 2004 film Super Size Me. Spurlock does a great job of testing his argument to see if fast food can affect the body both positively and negatively and the experiment determines if it's the leading cause of obesity in America. Spurlock states, “America is the now the fattest nation in the world,” later adding, “Congratulations”!

Spurlock takes a chance at eating McDonald’s for several days to determine its harmful effects to his own body. Throughout his journey of completing the challenge, not only is he taking a chance to complete such an unbelievable experiment, he is also putting himself at dangerous health risks, that could possibly affect his body negatively for the rest

I highly agree with most of the points that were stated in the film. The film did a great job by not being one-sided to fast-food restaurants, but also by not stating more opinionated information than factual information. Since the director included reliable evidence, most of the information that was found in the film had to be from accurate sources, so the film would be a great source for research. One thing I feel that would have made the documentary, even more, better of a film, is if it did not just limit the experiment to just Spurlock. Some audience would argue everyone's body is different the testing is not fair to every single body type that exists in the world, which is true, but the film was still very good. Maybe if the film, had the experiment tested on someone who was a different height, gender, or race as Spurlock the film could have shown different viewpoints that would reach out to other audiences. Overall the film was very good and very informative. Spurlock’s film covered a lot of engaging information involving health risks, and food nutrition. The information that was discovered in the film may affect your current lifestyle. Super Size Me brought out many valid points and possibly it changes your stance on eating at fast food
