Super Size Me

Would you like fries with that? After this film, probably not. Among the many public-relations bodyblows directed at the fast-food industry in the last few years, few have been so direct as this audience favorite at last year’s Sundance film festival. After he heard a McDonald’s spokesman claim that there was no link between obesity and his corporation’s products, documentarian Morgan Spurlock conducted a taste test for accuracy by dining exclusively under the golden arches for thirty days. He had constant checkups to chart the effects on his health, which were not pretty. Even before opening to a wide audience, Super Size Me may have already had its most significant cultural impact: McDonald’s eliminated supersized meals earlier this year.
