Morgan Spurlock, the director slash guinea pig at the center of this film tapped a rich, cholesterol filled vein when he tackled the subject of fast food in "Super Size Me."What begins as a less than inspired, offer my body to science experiment, turns out to be an intelligent vehicle for removing the clown make-up from Ronald McDonald's face and revealing a shocking ugliness.We follow Mr. Spurlock as he stomachs three meals a day for a month of nothing but Golden Arches fare and learn, along with a team of stunned doctors, that the fast food diet reeks havoc on the body, well, "fast".Weight gain, diminished libido and liver damage are just a sampling of Mr. Spurlocks physiologically woes.The McDonalds Corporation's fiendishly calculated marketing strategy to hook children on happy meals has a logical place in the film, but this has been transparent for some time and isn't what buoys the real power of "Super Size Me. " Ultimately it's the contention that fast food is the engine driving so many to obesity, disease and early death that makes this film compelling. Those still in doubt will learn, once and for all, that frequent Big Mac attacks lead to massive heart attacks.- Anonymous

Their meals usually consists of higher carbohydrates and calories which as a result from low level of exercise, turns into fats and leads to heart diseases and obesity.

When you see a doctor, they would say obesity is very dangerous and those say its good for you would only meant this
