Super Size Me was on TV last night and got round to watching it eventually. It was directed, written and stared Morgan Spurlock. I had heard from someone it would put you off McDonalds. I wasnt going to watch it but found it really interesting. It wasn’t just about McDonalds but fast food in general.
Since getting healthy and going to gym etc, the last time i had McDonalds was around Xmas and that was only a cheesburger. Cant remember the time before that. While watching it I found myself really wanting some fries. Just writing this now I really want some fries now!!! I really feel like some chicken nuggets too even after hearing how they are made.
It was shocking that guy who drank so much sugary drink he almost went blind! Admittedly he drank gallons of the stuff and was huge but still!!! Also there was a guy who ate all loads of Big Macs (2-3 a day, 19000+ in total). He didnt seem that big – he did say he hardly ever had fries though so maybe thats a factor. It was very sad though that he proposed to his wife in the McDonalds car park in his favourite car park place.
Overall Super Size Me was very entertaining. There was also abit in the film which may have inspired Jamie Olivers dinners when he went to some school and found out what they ate. Morgan Spurlock himself was a pretty funny guy so that made it more entertaining.
Update:
There seems to be another side to the story if you read the links below. Personally I think, although the experiment was to the extreme, it did highlight how bad millions of peoples diets are and how unhealthy it can be.

I got bored of the desktop on my laptop again and decided to change it. I could have just gone looking for a wallpaper of someone but decided to design one of my own. I could have picked any beautiful women to have on it but I choose Rachel Bilson (who plays Summer in The O.C.).
United beat Newcastle for the second time in 8 days. I only saw the highlights so can’t really say if they played really well or not apart from what I have read online. All I have to say about it is that Rooneys goal was fantastic and a contender for goal of the season. It was a 30 yard volley from the left of the box which was hit with the outside of his foot.
