Super Size Me - 6

This is a well done, documentary version of a tenth grade science fair project (by Morgan Spurlock). It is simple thesis that no one doubts he can prove; that eating McDonald's food excessively is bad for your health. He recognizes that his experiment is extreme, but at the very least we now have no reason to think that the food we eat has nothing to do with obesity. This movie tends to lean on the side that diet and obesity is the only link, while I still think that there is more to the story; genetics plays a role as well. The more convinced you are that a mcsociety is bad going into the film, the more you will dislike McDonald's after the film is over and vice versa. I think this film does little to change people's behavior because our society is one in which we can justify just about anything. I hope that people will see this film and hopefully it will help to shift our society into one where all are better stewards of the affluence of our nation.
