I watched a good movie on DVD this weekend: Super Size Me. You may remember this as the documentary of Morgan Spurlock eating 3 times a day at McDonald’s for 30 days straight. If they asked him to supersize, he does.
As expected he gains 25 pounds and his cholesterol goes from 165 to 225. Unexpectedly, his liver goes into “shock” basically, his girlfriend claims he is no longer as energetic in bed, and he basically feels down all the time, except when he eats and get a little high. I thought it was well done, particularly with the doctors reviewing him throughout. Even they were surprised at what the diet did to his liver. ***1/2 stars.
Of course, you might hate these types of movies. I particularly enjoy them, along with my secret pleasure of Michael Moore movies. I own and recommend both Bowling for Columbine and Fahrenhite 9/11. **** stars for both of them. Yes I am one of the few conservatives who likes Michael Moore. Where would the Longhorns be without the Aggies? Or the Yankees without the Red Sox? Red without Blue?

If he is dumb enough to constantly order and eat bad food, he (and every other American) deserves to gain weight. He could have eaten a salad or gotten the grilled chicken sandwich, and drank a Diet Coke or water. It’s not McDonalds fault. Ah McD’s, my secret passion…
Like the OS movie JFK, MM F911 wraps a whole bunch of fiction around small pieces of fact. Unfortunately, the foreign theater goers take it as fact and thus the movie fuels more anti-US hatred.
