Nominated for Best Documentary at the Academy Awards, this one lifts the veil on the American food industry and exposes the governmental agencies responsible for protecting the food chain as being delinquent. The American food supply is now controlled by a handful of corporations that often put profit ahead of consumer health, the livelihood of the American farmer, the safety of workers and the environment. We have bigger-breasted chickens, the perfect pork chop, herbicide-resistant soybean seeds, even tomatoes that won’t go bad, but we also have new strains of E. coli—the harmful bacteria that causes illness for an estimated 73,000 Americans annually. We are riddled with widespread obesity, particularly among children, and an epidemic level of diabetes among adults. This movie is a must-see.

This award winning documentary will keep you out of fast food restaurants like Jaws kept you out of the water! You definitely won’t look at McDonalds ever the same again.
For thirty days Morgan Spurlock agrees to eat his entire diet at McDonald’s. He takes us along on his journey from fit to fat to near death. He works with a general practitioner and a nutritionist to monitor his progress and his health. While everyone agreed that he would gain weight and his health would take a hit, nobody expected that his liver would be at extreme risk. The emotional and sexual side effects were also totally unexpected as were the addictive components of the food.
Every parent needs to watch SuperSize Me with their children. This documentary alone could eliminate a lot of the obesity in the world.
