Super-Size Me!: Reviewed

This is an awesome movie that follows a man named Morgan Spurlock through his thirty day journey of dieting on nothing but McDonalds.
Before the experiment, Morgan was 6’2 and 185.5lbs with a body fat of 11%. Two days into the experiment, the subject regurgitates his lunch all over the McDonald’s parking lot.
After five days of eating nothing for McD’s for breakfast, lunch and dinner, Morgan had gained 10lbs! After nine days, he had eaten everything on the menu. That’s just awesome.
Here’s something I found absolutely hilarious. Morgan went to a local grade school and showed several students pictures of famous people. Every kid identified Ronald McDonald’s picture, and not one kid recognized Jesus.
Twelve days after the experiment began, he had gained 17 lbs.
Seventeen days into the experiment, his bitch girlfriend, a vegan chef, is nagging at him about how unhealthy his diet is, and how heroin and ham are equally addictive and harmful. If I were Morgan, I would most likely kill her.
By the third weigh-in, he actually lost a pound, most likely muscle mass, while continuing to gain fat.
Day twenty-one, he wakes up in the middle of the night and can’t breathe. One of his three doctors advised the subject to stop the experiment as soon as possible, stating that this could cause irreversible damage to his liver and heart if he continued. He decided to go against doctor’s orders and finish the experiment. Champion.
Final weigh-in, he tipped the scales at 210lbs. What a fatass.
Like I said, this movie is great. After watching this movie, you still want to eat at McDonalds, or any other fast food place, remember that the saturated fat isn’t the worst thing in your Big Mac. It’s the pubic hair.

Shit if I ate steak for breakfast lunch and dinner everyday for a month im sure that my body would react the same way. Does that mean you shouldnt eat steak? That cats whole concept was stupid from the beggining.

The idea is that he didnt just eat one thing for a month. He had an entire menu to choose from, and everything on that menu was unhealthy in one way or another. I am sure that if you ate any one food for a month it would be unhealthy, but the key is that he had a selection.
