Director Morgan Spurlock decides that he is going to spend a month eating nothing but McDonalds meals, three times a day.  To some people this might sound like their dream lives, but after watching him abuse his body one really feels like yelling for him to stop.

The movie was inspired by a lawsuit where two teenagers sued McDonalds for making them obese.  It sounds laughable but, by the end of the picture, the audience understand that perhaps there is a ring of truth in it.  A strong stomach is necessary, though, because when he’s not hurling, he’s stuffing his face.  It’s a fascinating documentary in the Michael Moore school of filmmaking and well worth watching, especially if one is thinking of eating more healthily.
