Supersize Me

Morgan Spurlock, the filmmaker of Supersize me goes on a "McDiet," meaning he'll only eat McDonalds and nothing else for 30 days straight. He does this to prove that the food McDonald serves is unhealthy and it is one of the main causes for obesity in America. Of course, if you eat fast food for breakfast lunch and dinner then you'll gain a lot of weight. That is what 2 teenage girls did and they became overweight, then they decided to sue because they faced the consequence of their poor decisions. Another topic that was brought up in call was fat shaming. The film showed people on a much heavier side, but how are you so sure that all those people are obese because of fast food? It could be in their genes that they are relatively obese and can't control it. From a political standpoint, not much is being done to at least stop the fast food restaurants because it brings in revenue and that's what all big corps want and why their unhealthy foods are priced are cheap with high calories.
