Super Size Me

An entertaining, disturbing movie, even if it was a bit sensationalistic for my taste. "He almost died eating McDonalds!", an often-heard declaration describing the movie, is overstating things a bit. Hey, I felt really bad for Morgan Spurlock, watching him eat all the food, but I wanted a little more clarity on the rules: how much was he overdoing it (ordering a double-quarter pounder with cheese when he had already had it a couple of times that month) simply to make the most dramatic change possible? Any how about something on why that Big Mac guy seemed so normal ... what was his blood pressure? Anyway, I'm really glad this movie was made and I wish most of America would watch it, just to make people *consider* their diet and take some responsibility for their health.
