Yesterday night I watched "Super Size Me" A film of epic portions by Morgan Spurlock. Usually I got bored when I watch documentary movie, but this one was different.

Filmmaker Morgan Spurlock, rejected five times by the USC film school, won the best director award at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival for this alarmingly personal investigation into the health hazards wreaked by our fast food nation. Under extensive medical supervision, Spurlock subjects himself to a steady diet of McDonald's cuisine for 30 days just to see what happens. In less than a week, his ordinarily fit body and equilibrium undergo dark and ugly changes: Spurlock grows fat, his cholesterol rockets north, his organs take a beating, and he becomes subject to headaches, mood swings, symptoms of addiction, and lessened sexual energy. The gimmick is too obvious to sustain a feature documentary; Spurlock actually spends most of the film probing insidious ways that fast food companies worm their way into school lunchrooms and the hearts of young children who spend hours in McDonald's playrooms.

That documentary was really inspiring and made me realize how fattening not only mcdonalds, but any fast food restaurant is. Not only did it provide interesting facts, it also was very funny. And after seeing this documentary, I will never eat fast food again.
