Size Me Premise/Synopsis:
Why
are Americans so fat? Find out in "Super Size Me,"
a tongue in-cheek - and burger in hand -- look at the
legal, financial and physical costs of America's hunger
for fast food. Ominously, 37% of American children and
adolescents are carrying too much fat and 2 out of every
three adults are overweight or obese. Is it our fault
for lacking self-control, or are the fast-food corporations
to blame? Filmmaker Morgan Spurlock hit the road and
interviewed experts in 20 U.S. cities, including Houston,
the "Fattest City" in America. From Surgeon
Generals to gym teachers, cooks to kids, lawmakers to
legislators, these authorities shared their research,
opinions and "gut feelings" on our ever-expanding
girth. During the journey, Spurlock also put his own
body on the line, living on nothing but McDonald's for
an entire month with three simple rules: 1) No options:
he could only eat what was available over the counter
(water included!); 2) No supersizing unless offered;
3) No excuses: he had to eat every item on the menu
at least once. It all adds up to a fat food bill, harrowing
visits to the doctor, and compelling viewing for anyone
who's ever wondered if man could live on fast food alone.
The film explores the horror of school lunch programs,
declining health and physical education classes, food
addictions and the extreme measures people take to lose
weight and regain their health. "Super Size Me"
is a satirical jab in the stomach, overstuffed with
fat and facts about the billion-dollar industry besieged
by doctors, lawyers and nutritionists alike. "Would
you like fries with that?" will never sound the
same!
