People should already know this! I gave this film three stars because although I feel it was put together nicely and was entertaining at the same time, it wasn't exactly a scientific experiment. Every person has a different body and reacts differently to different types of food. Granted, a huge portion of the population does eat fast-food the way that Morgan Spurlock did in this film, but to come to the conclusion that everyone will have the same results as him, is not a scientific determination. We all know that fast-food is not healthy, period. To assume that it won't hurt us or damage our bodies in some way, is ignorant thinking and even borderline denial. I appreciate Morgan for bringing this to the attention of people who don't seem to understand the risk factors of eating fast-food. It's unfair to pinpoint McDonald's, although it is understandable that it is fast-food chain that is available all around the world. The only part of the flim that affected me was the bonus footage in the DVD, labeled "The Smoking Fry". There were times when I used to treat myself to a small order of McDonald's french fries because they're so good, but NEVER again will I do that. SPOILER: After 2 1/2 months, McD's fries looked fresh. What type of chemicals are in them?! GROSS. Morgan Spurlock starts out as a healthy man, and ends up as an unhealthy man. In 30 days, he did a lot of damage to his body, but we should remember that he forced supersize meals on himself even when he was full. I believe that our bodies tell us a lot, and if our body is telling us that it is full after eating 1/2 a supersized meal, then stop eating! Some people can eat 2 supersize meals without budging, but the point is that if you are full, you usually don't force yourself to finish that meal. Morgan forced himself, which also flawed his experiment a bit. It's also sad to see the junk food that children are eating at school cafeterias. Fried foods, sodas, pizza..? What are they feeding these kids? What happened to turkey sandwiches with carrots, a little pint of milk, and maybe a homemade chocolate chip cookie from time to time? My mom used to make me egg sandwiches or tuna sandwiches or turkey sandwiches as a kid. I'd have a piece of fruit in there, and sometimes a goody or two. Never was I given soda! Never! I think that the problem with school cafeterias is worse than fully knowledgeable adults choosing to eat at McD's. Since Morgan found out that serving healthier foods (salads, sandwiches, soups) costs about the same as having horrible, fatty foods, why not change this RIGHT NOW? As far as advertising to kids: Kids can't drive to McD's. Parents take them there. Overall, not bad.
