I just saw 'super size me'.. I bought DVD
It is good. It is so good that now I can understand why McDonald have problems!! If you want to change your eating habit, this is the must see movie. I hope new Wal-mart movie is as good. What I am really impressed about this movie is that it's subtle tone and the sheer power of this crazy experiment. Let me tell you. At the beginning this guy had trouble eating all super-size meal and literally threw up what he ate. Eventually, his body addicted to 'high sugar, high fat, and super high cal' food and he stared showing the real sign of 'food addiction'. Yes, 'food addiction' is the reality. If you watch this movie once a week, you can stop eating most of really bad fast food. ( Thank god for Subway. It is very interesting that entire marketing strategy of Subway is anti-thesis of McDonald. ) One more important point. If you have kids who have ADD, check school lunch program fast. I always thought that the rate of ADD and learning disabilities among children were abnormally high. If you learn about what kind of lunch kids are eating, you can see why. Yes, there are real case of ADD and learning disabilities. But, significant part of cases may be caused by food. I want this guy to make the movie version of 'Nickeled and dimed'. Hertopos

1. I love that movie. It was on some movie channel last night.
And since you have the DVD, you have to check out the interview with Eric Schlosser, the author of "Fast Food Nation" in the special features. I'm right in the middle of that book, and it's done a pretty good job of blowing my mind so far.

2. I used to eat McDonalds at least twice a week before I saw that movie...
That was about 9 months ago and I've only had one McFish sandwich since then and that was only because my brother bought it earlier and there was nothing else to eat.

3. terrific movie
I speak to so many people who have avoided McDonalds since seeing it. Fortunately I already avoided McDonalds, but still...the bit where he forces down the meal then throws up out the car window is really disturbing. And the horror on the Doctor's face when he realises just how badly Morgan is f*cking up his body...
