Morgan Spurlock (Photo from http://www.imdb.com)Morgan Spurlock set out on a 30-day diet eating only at McDonalds. He started this experiment to see what would happen and if McDonalds was responsible for the obesity of two girls that were suing the fast food company. The rules were:
1. Supersize the meal on if asked
2. Walk 5,000 steps (the average Americans walk) a day
3. Eat three meals at McDonalds each day
The documentary exposed the realities of eating such unhealthy and dangerous food. In the end, he gained almost 25 pounds, encountered chest pains, and experienced mood swings and a diminishing love life.
It’s scary (and somewhat disgusting) to know that some people eat fast food everyday. I know that it is cheap, but when you really think about it the food is garbage loaded with calories and sugar. Can you call it food after all the processing and various ingredients are put into it? Judge Robert Sweet even called chicken mcnuggets "a mcfrankenstein creation of various elements."
I still do not get why the guy who ate thousands of Big Macs is still so skinny compared to the majority of Americans.
Fast food is much more popular compared to nutritious food and it does have to do with how much the government is spending. It was hilarious, but also a shock to see that kids know who Ronald McDonald is but not Jesus and George Washington.
