What happens when you eat nothing but McDonald’s
for one month? Armed with his video camera filmmaker Morgan
Spurlock challenged himself to eat three meals a day at
Ronald’s McD’s - and if they offered to ‘super-size’
his order, he had to say yes!
After three weeks his doctor is begging him to abandon
the plan as his body balloons and his liver tests are coming
back as 'obscene'.
One part Michael Moore-type anti-corporate tub-thump,
one part Jackass: The Investigative Blow-Out, Spurlock looks
at the McInvasion of schools and hospitals, takes his beef
to an insufficiently slick PR for the Grocery Manufacturers
of America and pelts us with chewy stats and facts. Meanwhile
he puts on 25 pounds, waves goodbye to his libido and ponders
the implications for the diet of millions of ‘users’
worldwide.
