The nauseating truth from the producer, director, and guinea pig of the Academy Award-nominated documentary Super Size Me.
Just when you figured it was safe to scarf fries again comes the factpacked and funny new alarm bell from the man whose month-long McDonald's diet became the subject of an Oscar-nominated, box-office-bonanza documentary. Here Morgan Spurlock examines everything from school lunch programs and the marketing of fast food to the decline of physical education. He looks at why fast food is so tasty, cheap, and ultimately seductive-and interviews everyone from surgeons general and kids to marketing gurus and lawmakers, who share their research and opinions on what we can do to offset a health crisis of supersized proportions.

Very eye-opening. I had seen the film, but feel the facts are sticking with me more listening to the book. I will not be eating at McDonald's ever again. Ugh. I was astounded at some of the statistics and other facts he highlighted. I am glad he was able to bounce back from his McMonth. The effects of that diet on his body was incredible. He's lucky he only did minimal permanent damage.
P.S. I love his voice. I enjoyed listening to him in his film and on his series 30 Days.

Thanks so much for the RABCK EllyMae58! I saw Super Size Me and was fascinated with some of the facts and how they were presented. I can't wait to listen to this one!
Wow. I think my days of McDonald's are over. There was info about so much more than fast food. I learned a lot. I found the facts about nutrition & exercise related to kids really interesting and a bit disturbing. This audio was easy to get into and never got dull.
