SUPERSIZE ME

I went to borrow this DVD from the sch, name is SUPERSIZE ME. I watch the video and i know why the US is the fattest nation on earth, their Mac there sells Supersize size. A Supersized fries weight 8lbs/pounds dunno which one but its alot like 2 packet of large fries and the coke is 42 oz , the movies is on this man that takes on the challenge to eat only mac for 30days(3 times a day and have to supersize it if the counter asked him to) while traveling around USA. After 30 days, that man is very sick and he put on almost 10% of his body fats/weight and doubled his risk to heart diesases. The point of the movie is to show that a person cannot survive on fastfood unless u want an early death. Some interesting facts that i found on the show is that a patty, may contain meat from 1000 different type of cattle, that means 1000 cows are killed, the meat mixed together and made into the patty. On a sundae there are already 100+ chemicals just to make the taste. And normal fries bought not from mac only need 1 week to get mouldly but after 10 weeks, mac fries still look the same as thought it was bought yesterday. Strange rite? imagine how these " indestructable" mac fries act on your body.
After the lawsuit 2 americans filed on mac, mac goes into healthy and active lifestyle and introduce salads, well a mac salad with dressing contains 42 grams of fats and 600 Kcal wow. healthy?
