Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The nauseating truth from the producer, director, and guinea pig of the Academy Award-nominated documentary Super Size Me.

Just when you figured it was safe to scarf fries again comes the factpacked and funny new alarm bell from the man whose month-long McDonald's diet became the subject of an Oscar-nominated, box-office-bonanza documentary. Here Morgan Spurlock examines everything from school lunch programs and the marketing of fast food to the decline of physical education. He looks at why fast food is so tasty, cheap, and ultimately seductive-and interviews everyone from surgeons general and kids to marketing gurus and lawmakers, who share their research and opinions on what we can do to offset a health crisis of supersized proportions.

Synopsis:

The winner of the Sundance Best Director Award for his film of the same name takes a deeper look at the health crisis resulting from the fast food industry.
