This film is a documentary with so much impact, that shows us the success of fast food companies and turning the fun of eating two tasty Big Mac per week in a difficult question for your health. The challenge was to eat this food at the richest junk food company in the world-McDonald's-for 30 days. And Morgan Spurlock risked himself doing it. Spurlock's rules were:
1- He should only buy food at McDonald's. Even water.
2- He should eat three times a day. Not more, not less
3- He should eat everything in the menu until the end of the month (he did it in 9 days).
4- He should Super Size only when asked.
Before Febuary Spurlock was about 84Kg and was 1,90m tall. His CM was about 23. His cholesterol and sugar levels was normal and he didn't drink smoke. In the first day, everything got OK, but in the 2nd day Spurlock ate his first Super Size supper. It made him sick
In his second weight, in the 5th day, he was weighting 88,5Kg. He needed only 2500 calories a day but in his McDiet he ate almost 5000 calories a day.
In the third weighting, it got down to 87Kg. Good? I guess he didn't think so. In fact, muscles weight more than fat. Morgan was losing his muscle weight and getting fat.
Some of the major fast food places were visited by him. The fattest city in USA, Houston, is home to many McDonald's. Only in Manhathan, there are more than 80 McDonald's. Experts concluded that obesity and diabetes in children are growing. If someone get diabetic at 15, she loses 23-27 years of life. It is said that 25% of the american people eat fast food daily.
Scary numbers? See those: 1 bagel used in hamburgers is equal to 5 slices of bread. A small McDonald's fries, the original size, has 200 calories, but a Super Size fries has 600. One DoubleGulp soda from 7-11 has 64 ounces, and 48 teaspoons of sugar.
In the 21th day Morgan was feeling too bad. His expert Daryl Isaacs told him to stop that ridiculous thing he was doing, but Morgan felt he could survive nine days more. And he didn't stop. In the final weight-in he has over 90Kg. It took 14 months to lose all the weight he gained. And Spurlock had doubled chances to have a heart attack, very high cholesterol and his damages in the liver and kidney were irreversible.
The documentary was released months after it. McDonald's cancelled the Super Size option and added other sandwiches with more variety. They said that decision had nothing to do with this movie. A lot of people has abandoned fast food in their lifestiles.
Everyone knows fast food has always been a danger to our health. If this is the way you want to go, see the impact it may cause: hypertension, coronary heart disease, stroke, gall blader disease, asteoarthritis, sleep aphea, respiratory problems, cancer (endometrial, breast, prostate, colon), steatohepatitis, dyslipedemia, insulin resistance, asthma, hyperucemia, reproductive hormone anormalities, POS, impaired fertility and adult onset diabates.
This documentary changes our idea of junk food drastically and became famous all over the world for it's impact and polemic.
