Super Size Me A scathing critique of fast food culture in the United States. Three times a day every day for an entire month, filmmaker Morgan Spurlock ate at McDonalds. The results were catastrophic for his health and marvelous for the thesis of his documentary. In a few days, Spurlock was vomiting out of the window of his car and developing a hepatic infection while his cholesterol skyrocketed from 165 to 230. His libido waned drastically, and he began to suffer headaches and depression among other consequences of his 25 pound weight gain
