If anyone hasn't seen it yet there are loads of 'not-for-resale' Guardian promo copies on E-bay really cheap at the moment.
I would highly recommend it.
I think it was a really good thing he did, drawing attention to the issue.
"Oh, Morgan's too sick to go to work today... blah blah etc".
Since his "work" was shovelling Big Macs and fries, my heart didn't exactly bleed. Get on with it, you pussy.
The film itself is mildly interesting at best, and didn't tell me anything I didn't already know. I take your point about his raising awareness, but also wonder how many people weren't aware of what shit McDonalds was already... and just don't care.
Whilst we "knew" about McDonalds being bad I don't think people did realise the real extent of how bad it is. Even the doctors monitering him didn't predict the extent of what he would go through.
Throughout the film he got such bad health and yet he kept going to the end of the 30 days. He showed real determination even when it was horrible. You saw him vomiting from having to eat such big portions of McDonalds grossness right? As well as his dick stopping working, his liver starting to fail, him gaining nearly 2 stone, his skin becoming gross, becoming lethargic and tired and depressed.
Since the making of this film McDonalds have stopped selling SuperSize portions, have starting changing their menu's and have shut some stores down. Since seeing this film people are cutting down on fast food so it has had some good effect!
I still think he's a knob and would love that hour and a half of my life back.
it is obvious thoguh that living off of mcdonalds food would do that
i could try living off kebabs and the same would happen
in fact living off only 1 source of food does noone any favours, thats why 'balanced diets' are the healthiest
i eat and drink all sorts of crap i also eat and drink well though at the same time and im quite healthy to be honest
too much of one thing is what should be avoided
