Default Re: Good Movies

I just watched another good documentary film by Morgan Spurlock named Super Sized. It is a documentary about how a guy eats nothing but McDonalds food three times a day for an entire month and how it effects him. Man what a serious eye opener that was.

I haven't seen a movie in a long time that has scared me like this one has. Being a big guy myself I know about all of the health issues and albeit I would never sue or advocate suing a fast food company, I can see how eating that kind of food, only occationally once or twice a week, can have dier consequences.

I mean the movie really hit home, a lot of what he went through seemed really familary. Granted, and he even stated it, no one would eat fast food three times a day everyday, however, his experiment was not too far off because many people do eat fast food every day.

Honestly I was amazed at how effective this film was, I figured it to be a Micheal Moore kind of film, but was surprised at how honest it really seemed to be. Granted there where some instances that raised an eyebrow or two, but over all the movie was very effective in getting the word out that fast food is NOT good for you.

Damn, I am fighting a craving for a double cheese burger right now.. BRB, I have to find .99 cents and my car keys.
