Scary documentary made by and starring Morgan Spurlock, who spends a month eating nothing but McDonalds fast food in order to highlight the health risks of doing so. The effects on his physical and mental state are dramatic and remarkable. He gains weight, damages his liver and experiences mood swings and depression.
It’s a brave and quite reckless way to make a point, but you have to admire him for sticking to his plan. The various interviews with increasingly alarmed doctors and nutritionists provide a sobering commentary.
Fascinating stuff, it would be quite difficult to watch if he wasn’t so engaging a character.
