: Super Size Me
Surprisingly witty and entertaining documentary skewering the fast food industry. The director/star goes on a 30-day “McDiet” — where can can eat nothing not found at McDonald’s — and proceeds to go from perfect health to gaining 30 pounds and nearly destroying his liver. What I liked about the film is not only the excellent pacing and presentation, which kept things moving, but the variety of information. It smartly didn’t limit itself to just McDonald’s or even the fast food industry, but touched on American eating habits in general, exercise, school lunch programs, and more. A terrific film that will make you think about what you eat and our country’s priorities. A must-see.
