Super Size Me

In this provocative documentary, Morgan Spurlock subjects himself to a diet consisting only of McDonald's fast food three times a day for thirty days without exercising, aiming to prove why many Americans are overweight or obese. The experiment reveals drastic changes in Spurlock's physical and psychological health, as he gains 24.5 pounds and suffers from mood swings, sexual dysfunction, and liver fat accumulation. By consuming an average of 20.9 megajoules (5,000 kcal) per day, far exceeding the recommended daily intake for a healthy man, Spurlock experiences alarming consequences that highlight the dangers of fast food and the addictive nature of processed nutrition.
