Morgan Spurlock tried it. For thirty days, he ate nothing but fast food as part of his research into the effects of this food on health. The thirty days were enough to wreck his health but also to create a film that earned him an Oscar nomination and unparalleled global success.

"Super Size Me" is based on this research. Written with humor, it will shock us by presenting the reasons why fast food is so delicious, cheap, and appealing, as well as what we can do to reverse the growing wave of obesity, hypertension, and diabetes that has accompanied the ever-increasing popularity of fast food.
