Summary: Shock & Awe Diet !
Comment: This is a personal testimonial to shock and awe the fast food population. He is so brave to test on McDiet 3 times a day for 30days and evaluate the effect and impact on his body, vital organs and function in an unqualified unscientific experiment.
Fast food industry such as McDonald is an American free market success story in offering a popular meal fast, inexpensive and tasty not from your local kitchen but from the factory headquarter with one standard formula.
Who patronize the fast food? Who can resist the temptation of a smiling clown of Ronald McDonald and the playground with cheap toys? Who supersize your order and punch your vital organs with pounds of sugar and other "junk" leading to healthcare crisis? Wh are jointly and severally liable to the damages?
The fast food industry grows fast in other third world countries. Will the foreigners
blame US for getting American diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure, kidney problem, heart trouble, over-weight and cancer?
This film reminds us the goodness of slow home cocking grandma used to make.
WARNING: Eating fast food can be habit forming and hazardous to your health

Summary: Ok but anyone with common sense already knows too much of anything is bad for you
Comment: I've showed this movie to my 9th grade science class for 4 years now and although the movie does point out the bad about eating too much fast food, it fails to explain that in moderation its fine. His vegan girlfriend (quite the LOON), proves again that Spurlock is not dealing with a full deck. It's pretty obvious that this 30 day challenge was to make money, and to bash fastfood, namely McDonalds, which I think is perfectly fine food in moderation
Customer Rating:
Summary: For my library.
Comment: My personal trainer recommended I watch "Super Size Me." I rented it and was so pleased. I knew it had to become part of my library, so I bought it. I look forward to seeing it over and over. There is so much nutritional and health advice in the movie. You can see the exceptional results of healthy school lunches. Consequences, both good and bad, of eating habits are impresively shown over and over.

Summary: Do you want to lose weight? Watch this documentary.
Comment: Yes. We all know that McDonald's is bad for us. And yes, this is a little bit like telling smokers that they are killing themselves. We know. That's not really what I like about this movie, even though it does take great pains to dissect the marketing campaigns and food production aspects of McDonald's.
What makes this movie important is the fact that it made me paranoid enough about the food I eat (and I keep kosher so I don't eat at McDonald's anyhow) to lose 20 pounds. I don't mean that I turned anorexic. I mean that I actually counted calories, refrained from greasy food, drank more water and ate fruits and vegetables. Spurlock purposefully ate garbage for a month and gained 24 pounds. I used to do it without thinking about it and then figured that my clothes were shrinking in the wash. It didn't happen in 30 days. It happened over the course of a year but all the things that happened to him happened to me. Chest pains. Lost sex drive. High blood pressure.
Right now I'm still overweight but I'm much healthier than I've been in a long time and I owe it to this movie.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Everyone should watch
Comment: Every parent, teenager, teacher, doctor, etc. should see this one. Yes, we have all heard it before, but not documented to this extent. It is one man's experiment but quite eye-opening. I wish the little bit of bad language and couple of "gross" scenes had been left out, but I have heard there is a family friendly version coming that could also be shown in schools.
