Super size ME!!

Yesterday afternoon we watched a 'documentary' called Super Size Me. It follows a person who volunteers to eat McDonalds for on month. At the end he gains a lot of weight and gets very unhealthy. The documentary tells us about the problems with fast food advertising especially McDonalds. The test volunteer eventually got very sick from just eating McDonalds. He finished the whole month but damaged his body (especially his liver) permanently.I found the movie a bit disgusting (especially the vomit on the street). It was also informative, providing figures, such as the amount of money that McDonalds advertising uses (It is 1.4 billion) compared to healthy eating campaigns (a measly 2 million compared to the fast food advertising).
The documentary explores the whole subject, not just McDonalds, and the entire problem of fast food. They tried to get an interview with McDonalds but McDonald did not answer.
