cinematic-memoir (Super-size Me)

 

       The film I choose was “Super-Size Me” which shows the audience the effects of eating fast food and poor dieting can have on people. The Movie goes through the journey of a man who goes on a diet of McDonald’s food only for every single meal. The movie goes over different medical changes and if it’s even possible to live of a diet like this.  As the movie goes on his body starts to change and his body starts to familiarize itself with this type of food. Towards the end on the film when the 30 days are up his body is still craving that fast grease food. However, his body is going through multiple negative side effects as a result.  I choose this movie because I used to eat the fastest, cheapest, and most convenient meals there were, but once seeing this movie in high school I realized the actual consequences that could occur and totally switch my eating habits. This movie seems like an odd documentary but really did have a big impact on my day to day life. I see the film differently now because I look back on all the bad food I used to eat and it grosses me out. Comparing it to what I eat now has been a huge transition.
