Program Note
Could anyone live on fast food alone? Filmmaker Morgan Spurlock asked just that question while making Super Size Me, and vowed to eat only a McDonald′s diet for one month as part of a larger investigation.
The billion-dollar international fast food industry is currently under attack from educators, doctors, lawyers and nutritionists, and it is the one that everyone points to when we wonder why Americans are so fat. The film examines the legal, health and financial impact of the nation′s love of fast food - and Spurlock′s visits to the doctor are at the center of the debate. Partnered with interviews with legislators, teachers, cooks and kids, the films paints a vivid and frightening picture of the real costs of fast food addiction. Hot on the heels of non-fiction best sellers such as Fast Food Nation, Fat Land and Spoiled, Super Size Me is another, albeit satirical, attack on the multi-national corporations and their products, and asks if they are to blame for the current health crisis or if it is simply a matter of self-control - or lack thereof.
