Super Puke!

I just saw the documentary Supersize Me with my friend Katie. It was a very shocking but interesting film. I haven't eaten McDonalds since 1996 -- when I was driving cross country with Max from Santa Fe to Worcester, and we made a quick stop to eat while driving -- I vomitted on the side of the highway for hours. Anyway, I haven't eaten there since 1996 and now I never will again. Supersize Me was an educated look at an industry that doesn't have much of an interest in the good health of this country. It was also really sad to see how bad it is for kids, and yet how many parents take their children there because it is cheap and easy. One expert was explaining to him that kids want the playgrounds, and enjoy the food because it's full of sugars and fats, which create a feeling of euphoria in the brain. I laughed at the film maker Morgan Spurlock response, 'Yeah, that's why I will punch my kids in the face everytime we drive by McDonalds so they never assocate it with a happy, warm feeling.' It addressed how lazy adults in America are, and also how lazy parents are. That they don't feed their children well, nor do they educate them on how to eat when not in the home. Particularly in the schools. What the schools feed kids was horrific. It honestly made me feel like I had another reason to homeschool when we have a family. He continued to see 3 doctors during the 30 day period of eating McDonalds, and after 21 days, they explained his liver was in shock, and was starting to turn into pate. It was really scary. This film will not only make you stop eating junk food, but it may also turn you off of eating animal products all together. I gave it an enthusiastic thumbs up!
