Supersize Me

Josh (24) and Sarah (15) and I went to see this one in Colorado Springs at Kimball's, which is one of the last remaining old wonderful old original old movie theaters around.

This is a GREAT movie!! I believe strongly that every human, especially every American human, should have to sit through this movie at least once! This guy, Morgan Spurlock, eats 3 meals a day for a month at McDonald's after getting complete checkups from 3 doctors, total blood workups, weighed, measured, tested before, during and after exercising. He gains over 20 pounds, his liver begins to fail, he has all kinds of problems and nearly calls off the whole experiment because his health fails so fast. It's just simply amazing.

Interspersed between the days of his experiment are interviews with interesting people relating to fast food, and statistics. You will learn a ton without hardly realizing that you're learning anything. It's entertaining, shocking, amazing - it's simply eye opening.

For those who read "Fast Food Nation" - you will be cheering. I've tried to get people to read that book and people for the most part don't like to read. This is the perfect movie for THOSE people. Everyone needs to see this.

We gave it a 5 - yes a FIVE!

We ate freshly popped popcorn (they use a healthier safflower oil that is really light) and they provide white cheddar sprinkle cheese! (I got the idea from Kimballs and I buy it at the grocery store to take into other theaters now) I will not be able to ever look at another McDonald's meal, ever. I usually avoid it anyway, now that feeling is tenfold.
