Documentaries--Super Size Me

Documentaries are something which I do not watch often but I do find them very interesting. They give incite on topics that maybe we aren't very familiar with. I've only watch a few, most of them being in the field of science since I find that particular topic very interesting.

Viewing documentaries is also incredibly educational. Most of the time when I'm done watching a documentary I come away from the experience a more intelligent individual. They are great to use a s reference or resource on a specific topic. It also forces someone to view a specific problem from a few different perspectives.

I decided to watch the documentary Super Size Me. In this documentary which was involved one of the worlds most popular fast food chains, Morgan Spurlock sets out on what he describes as “every eight year old’s dream” for a whole month he enjoys (kind of), a three meal everyday binge at McDonald’s fast food restaurants. In one month he eats the same amount of McDonald’s food that nutritionists recommend eating over the course of eight years and gains weight which is shocking I know.

After watching this film I couldn't even think about eating or even going to McDonald's it kind of made my stomach ache. Chances are ill still be at a McDonald's within a few weeks ordering the same thing as I always do but with a better perspective on the food i am putting into my body.
