Super Size Me

Super Size Me was written and directed by Morgan Spurlock, released in Canada on May 21st 2004. This was created as a documentary to show the risks that we as Americans take everyday when we step into that fast food restaurant and make the conscience decision to eat the unhealthy food they offer us. The audience of this documentary should be anyone from the age of six to sixty young people and adults eat fast food at least once a week. It was made to show us how damaging the foods in these restaurants are to out bodies, Morgan physically becomes ill after all the McDonalds he eats just within that month period. It was made for money I’m sure but chiefly to try to motivate people to get off their butts and realize that if their life styles are similar to what Morgan’s experiment was that they need to wake up and smell the veggies! Our bodies are the temple of God and if we are shoveling all this horrible food into it we are not treating it the way God intended us to. He wants us to be as healthy as we possibly can and that is definitely not what he wants for us. On just a side not I think it was so sad that some of those kids didn’t even know who Jesus was but they knew right off the bat who Ronald McDonald was, we need to educate these kids better then just sitting them in front of a T.V and having them learn all these commercials and slogans, teach them a bible verse or two.
