True Films 3.0 - Kevin Kelly

Supersize Me
Sure, it’s a foolhardy stunt, to eat three meals a day at McDonald’s for
30 days, just to see if it would wreck your body. But the perpetrator is
extremely entertaining, and his hi-jinx are not as fanatical as you might
think. His prank diet is also far more informative than any serious expose
on bad nutrition. I’ll continue to eat at McDonald’s, but I really think
every school kid in every country of the world with fast-food should see
this movie. It’s fun, brilliant and more memorable than any health class.
Real gonzo science video, enjoyable no matter what you eat.

Any time a McDonald’s clerk asked him whether he wanted
to “supersize it” he always said yes (top). He’d then have to
eat the whole large meal, giant soda and all. At the end of a
month a nutritionist reveals (above) the volume of sugar he
personally consumed, mostly in drinks.
