Super Size Not
So I finally watched the film, Super Size Me last night. It put such an amazing perspective on the American idea of fast food and our own inability to control ourselves that it really should be required viewing in both Middle and High Schools throughout the country. But we all know that will never happen because the large corporations that makes billions off the food that is killing us will not let something like that be shown… they can’t possibly be evil. Look at all the money they donate to schools and public education in exchange for getting their food in schools. If you haven’t seen this movie, do yourself a favor and watch it. I think it will give you an amazing example of the extreme side of what fast food can do to a person. And if you like the movie you should really check out the series on FX, 30 Days, which is based on the same basic premise of the movie. That’s actually how I found out about the movie was from watching the show.
In my own attempt to clean up my act, I’m going to start a 30 Day trial of my own. No fast food for one month! It’ll be really interesting to see if I can keep it up, especially with as much traveling as I do at work. But no McD’s, no Burger King, no Wendy’s, no Taco Bell, nada. We’ll just have to see how everything works out won’t we. Now if all this goes well, I just have to stop drinking…
