Super Size MeMany people around the world are familiar with McDonald's and its unhealthy menu; However, that doesn't stop many from visiting the fast food giant. Super Size Me is an in-depth film from Morgan Spurlock, which shows viewers his journey from healthy eating to becoming a fast food addict. Viewers can see the damage caused by McDonald's unhealthy food as Spurlock eats three meals a day from the fast food chain. Spurlock visits three schools, each with different meal programs. The differences between healthy and unhealthy choices made by schools are very clear. The public is also becoming aware of the effectiveness of advertisers in obtaining sales of unhealthy food products. Spurlock's documentary gives audiences an in-depth look at how an unhealthy McDonald's diet can affect the body, how easily good nutrition can be better integrated into schools, and the effective advertising that pushes Americans to choose unhealthy foods. Thirty days on the McDonald's diet is a dangerous undertaking, even for someone who begins the expedition in exceptional health. Spurlock is starting his journey in good health according to three different doctors and a nutritionist. General practitioner Daryl M. Isaacs says Spurlock's overall health is exceptional. It is clear that Spurlock was in good health when he started his project. Nutritionist Bridget Bennett does Spurlock's official weigh-in stating that he weighs 185.5 pounds, with 11% body fat, which she says is excellent. Spurlock appears beaten at the beginning of the film. However, during the thirty days of fast food, it was evident that his body was not responding well to the new diet.

Spurlock undertakes a journey that puts his health at risk in order to show viewers the dangers of eating McDonald's. Spurlock begins his journey as a very healthy man. In just one month of fast food, his body is in serious danger as his liver becomes inflamed from the fatty diet.
