Super size me is a documentary about a guy who eats McDonalds all day everyday for a month.
I saw it last night at the movies, its such an interesting movie.
I am so suprised at how sick the guy got from eating the McDonalds diet.

Has anyone else seen it?

HI Terri. I saw the guy on the news a couple of months ago, but I didn't know it was going to be a doc. film. I'll watch for it now. I've heard Mac Donald's is changing the oil they use to something healthier. :?

He gained a bit of weight but nearly had a heart attack, he was in perfect health before the experiment then 22 days into it he was having trouble breathing and having chest pains.
I dont want to give anything away incase you go and see the movie.

McDonalds has started an advertising campain here which says that its ok to eat McDonalds just not for every meal. They have taken a few things off their menu including Larger sizes of meals.

I don't know if they used any of this in the documentary, but there's a big controversy here with the US government interferring in what people can and can't eat, and that they are talking about monatary fines...to the overweight people. The joke going around is, "There goes the US Senate." A lot of them are not exactly thin. :| I think healthy (((choices))) and anything within moderation should suffice as a guideline. And also, I can't believe the people who have or are sueing fast food businesses because they became overweight. :w00t:
