Loud Comedy with Slapstick Antics, or 30 Day Fast-Food Binge Documentary Complete with Disgust and a Super Size of Bias. We could try that documentary on for size, or we could spend our dollars worth at America’s and the globe’s favorite stop for a tasty treat: McDonalds. Morgan Spurlock’s documentary Super Size Me analyzes if the addictive chain is indeed the cause or at a least possible McBlow to the hearts and livers of Americans. Not your typical run-of-the-mill documentary, Spurlock personally subjects himself to health dangers to determine if McDonalds is entirely less inviting than constant Big N’ Tasty’s, freedom fries, and secret sauce. Playing off rumors of Americans of the famous establishment and subjective insights, Super Size Me provides a tasteful watch with a meaty center, but lacks the finishing sesame bun.

Sassy Spurlock sets out on a 30-day food-fest quest to determine whether eating McDonald’s food religiously could cause any major health failures, or even if it could be done. After all, it is clear that Spurlock is a health-nut. Perhaps influenced by his granola girlfriend, Morgan Spurlock starts the starvation from real nutrients with a hand wounded. This is the one of the first biases of many that nearly overpowers the piece. This clearly contrasts with the heart of his argument: McDonalds is a vicious cycle of addiction and fast acquiring fat that is polluting our nation of space. After all, that is indeed what Spurlock knew he would find, a weight gain within his 30-day period of feasting. Within those few weeks, Spurlock managed faithfully gain over twenty pounds. Ridiculous! Of course, not many of McDonald’s happy customers are served three times a day, and usually over $10 a meal, it is no doubt that people gain weight from the overindulgence in deliciousness. Despite an early weight gain, Spurlock is determined to accolade the cashiers when a Super Sized question is taken from the fryer.

The supersized meals from McDonalds were always bought if the magic question was asked for Morgan. He most likely figured that the majority of people who regularly bought from the manipulative McDonalds would agree to a larger meal for a bit more change. Simulating the day of a strict fast food dieter, our leader shows the vicarious cycle McDonalds can package when consuming continuous product. In fact, in Day 2 of Spurlock’s experiment, he literally purges the supersized meal, as if he is disgusted beyond all belief. Clearly over exposed, the act of vomit is clearly zoomed to cameraman perfection, and the crowd feels the nausea. Borderline on symbolism, the purging could represent not only the body’s but the mind’s rejection of the nasty stuff, but instead is a poor representation of what McDonalds can do to person.

That is the fact of the matter. Morgan Spurlock focuses on what McDonalds can do to you. But what can you do to McDonalds, or even what can you not have to do with McDonalds? Spurlock tries something that nutritionists and doctors advised him to omit. Yet he continues to prove his point when his liver is comparable to a drunken sailor. He does express the American way to eat: quickly running in, no, driving aside to pick up cheap mystery meet and a frothy soda. The reality of Super Size Me is clearly biased as each day is depicted, but his message remains true. American does have an abusive relationship with fast-food chains. The grab us, link by link, one by one, until some parts of a nation are obese in one of four people. Spurlock had something to say, but the hype and argument was overpowered by too many claims and meals.
