Hard-hitting documentaries have been making a comeback in
cinemas around the world, and there seems to be no end in sight to
military-industrial-complex-bashing. The latest target is the fast food
corporation (the one with the big yellow M in particular), held to account, in
this refreshingly irreverent but sometimes scary movie, for Americas
rampant obesity problem. Healthy Morgan Spurlock recklessly avails himself of
the super sized fast food option for a solid month and discovers just what
damage 5000 calories a day will do to a human organism.
