Super Size Me: Part 2

What people probably find most amazing about this film is the fact that McDonald’s can do that much damage to your system. Or the fact that one guy can eat McDonald’s every day, all day, for 30 straight days. The man started out in perfect health-even above average for his age; but after only one month of fast food, he practically did irreplaceable damage to his liver. In fact, he couldn’t touch fast food for at least a year after that.

Eating McDonald’s this much at one time is something I’m sure not everyone does; some people probably have it once a day at max….okay maybe twice. But I doubt they know fast food can tear you apart on the inside if you eat it too much. It looks harmless enough.

I don’t ever really eat fast food. And it’s not because of the film or health threats. I never have the money for one thing, and it’s more convenient for me to bring a lunch. I won’t deny it tastes good though. As a kid, everyone used to go to McDonald’s all the time. I always wanted to go too, but I’m glad my mom didn’t start that trend. It could’ve led to an unhealthy lifestyle for me now. Screw the hamburgers; I just wanted the toys anyway.
