everyone so today I want to talk to you about Super Size Me which I be meaning
to watch for forever the DVD was released I think in 2005 I
haven't got the DVD I think it was produced the yurt before and this
program is sensational Morgan Spurlock goes on a 30-day
McDonald's bench every meal he has every snack he eats even every bottle of water
he drinks has to come from McDonald's now to be honest with you as much as the
thought of McDonald's makes me feel sick I don't think many of us can deny
McDonald's food is can't come be quite tasteful and the thought of being able
to be give permission for the purposes of television to eat junk food every day
for 30 days it sounds really interesting what you watch it and you think
obviously after day two or three you're kind of thinking I just want a bag of
carrot sticks that'll do me quite nicely and you just think that's a lot of food
and the purposes of the experiment of course is not just for entertainment
purposes but also to show us just how dangerous living off with fast foods can
be now it is set in America of course and because their portions are bigger
than anywheres to be honest they don't look that much better than some of ours
and in the UK there are a couple rules for the challenge if you only
super-sized if he gets offered the supersize and you'll find that it'll
actually offered supersize quite a lot I think to be honest if you haven't we've
been offered supersize the staff aren't doing their job properly because of
course you're gonna gonna offer supersize to make people question
whether they want it or not and there's a team of health specialists following
around and to monitor his weight gain in actually and also to monitor various
health aspects to see just how dangerous is going to be in an tubulins well it
does give you an indication of how dangerous consuming that much faster it
can be it's obviously not going to show you the B major health issues in the
long run but it does suggest if you carry on eating like this this is gonna
happen um people to have this problem your
livers gonna fail you could have heart attack and it is scary no not many
people I say optimistically eat three meals a day from Donald's
every day maybe maybe one day with maybe one day every now and then
we'll have all three meals from McDonald's not recommend doing but it's
not as if it's something that's gonna kill you if you just have three meals
from McDonald's in one day and then you eat healthy forever again but that
probably will be those people who do eat all day every day from McDonald's and
I'm sure a little while ago that was a woman who proved that you can't do and
you can do is helpful and yes you can't if you have their bag of apples slices
or you have their healthier option of the salad um you have I was gonna say if
you have diet coke there will be somebody leaving a comment saying well
diet coke isn't healthy well it is by my standard Smith but program itself is
very good we get enough time spent on each day I think and to show us the
different foods he's consuming and how he's feeling we get enough time to spend
on the health checks to not not for them to be long and drawn and boring because
it's not meeting the exciting part isn't the health check the exciting part is
seeing what he has to eat next that's the exciting thing and I think it's
additive very very well there was one woman through what I thought really
without spoiling Envy I'm not gonna go into too much detail but I think it was
day three or four maybe five at a push he threw up hi Morgan Spurlock threw up
because he obviously had a lot of McDonald's but thought that's quite a
quick reaction because I'm sure we've all been in the situation where we've
spent an entire week living off of unhealthy foods you know being on
holiday or over Christmas or you had a very long birthday celebration or
something and you consumed a lot of junk food in a very short space of time yes
you may feel sick but are you gonna really throw up I know I never thrown up
from eating too much crap so either he has a really healthy diet and we did see
at the beginning a little snippet of his diet and it looked quite healthy but he
didn't ever claim to never eat junk food so his body really just cannot cope with
that amount of grease and fat and rubbish or he had a doggie burger I
don't know there was a little bit shocked at how quick it's start to take
effect I don't take that as the way it would work for everyone so we are
watching it thinking I really want to do this I want to take part I want to use
television I think you to do a 30-day fast food experiment and then quite
minutes until enter the hour and a half long film you're
thinking actually maybe I don't want to do this it is very good the fear factor
does work fantastically in this might not put you off from Donald food for
life but it will certainly make you question what you're eating from that
one not just from McDonald's but just generally fast-food chains and things
other fast food restaurants are mentioned but the focus is on McDonald's
because there are more branches of those than any others and pretty much all over
to be honest but and they do you mention other ones as well just give it a bit of
balance but the challenge is strictly McDonald's food which is really exciting
and believe me your thoughts on this I didn't think it was absolutely
fascinating I would watch it again and it's very round I will watch something a
film or an extended documentary Morgan wants because you know you don't really
get much fun at the second time unless you love it
and I did love it I would watch it again in the UK the Amazon on Amazon the DVD
on Amazon is ten pound - that's ridiculous I remember about three or
four years ago it was in pound plant so I don't know how it's gone up ten times
its own price is what it was but try it trying it over try and watch you'll love
it let me your thoughts and I'll see you all next time bye
