Super Size Me!

Isn’t it time we started caring about what we eat? This is the question that the documentary film maker, Morgan Spurlock, asked himself before making Super Size Me. The film, which shocked audiences worldwide when it came out in 2004, documents Spurlock’s life for 30 days on a diet of junk food. Horrified at the obesity rate in the USA, Spurlock, who generally leads a healthy life, decides he will start eating the diet of the average American in the USA. For 30 days he will eat a diet of high fat burgers, fries, milkshakes and fizzy drinks, all of which are high in calories and lacking in nutrition. The experiment almost kills Spurlock, whose health gets worse day by day. By the end of the 30 days on a junk food diet, he has gained 11.1 kilos, often feels depressed and has done severe damage to his liver. We are told at the end of the film that it takes Spurlock 14 months to lose the weight he has put on and to get his health back. The reason why he puts his own health at risk is to show people that what they are eating is in fact killing them. Spurlock proves beyond a doubt that there is a lot of truth in the saying “You are what you eat”.
