The movie” Super Size me” documented by Morgan Spurlock is a real example of American people who eat fast food too much and become obese. By watching the movie I become to know that one hundred million people of U.S.A are overweight. Americans are very much fond of fast food and every four in one people go to the fast food restaurant especially in McDonald’s everyday. The McDonald has run its business all over the world and in the United States; it is contributing forty three percent of total fast food markets. In the school lunch, you see all fast food like potato fries, fried chicken and fried rice, burger, pitzza, sandwiches. All the students know very well the cartoon of MacDonald’s. They do not know even the Jesus.
Trough this movie, Spurlock shows us by taking an experiment on himself that eating fast is bad for health. Showing that if a person takes his or her meal like fast food continuously a month what the consequences will be? For his 30 day’s of experiment, he ate nothing but MacDonald’s and the consequences were terrible. He gained nearly 25lbs and his body fat increases about 11 to 18%. In addition, his cholesterol level increases 165 to 270. His liver became fatty and he lost sex drive. American children are growing up with fast food bearing knowledge because of huge fast food advertises in the television. Fast food industry spend 1.4 billion dollar for advertisement where fruits and Vegetables Company spend 2 million dollar.
The most heartbreaking scene in this movie is two girls become overweight because of eating fast food. And other example of this movie is the school boy was crazy for McDonald’s. These examples show that how Americans are influenced by eating fast food.
He pointed out the medical problems which are life threatening. Hypertension, breast cancer, nausea, chest pain, high cholesterol, gestational problem etc. are common health problems for obese people.
In conclusion, this movie is representation of the problem of eating fast food. People should understand that taste is not the main thing. We have to choosy about food for being healthy.

I also found it very dispointing when the little boy didn't know who Jesus was! let alone confusing Jesus wtih George W. Bush!! It's moments like that that you'd think, "Ummmm....what would Jesus do?"...
ReplyDeleteThe most sad part of this movie is fact that the eating in fast food restaurants became addiction in so young age. So these children already addicted to this food are victims of parents unknowledge. First we should educate parents so they will not go to McDonals so often.
