Reaction on Super Size Me

After watching Super Size Me I am actually quite disgusted in McDonald's. Serving food to consumers that is under cooked, food with hair in it, and just food that isn't real food with no nutrition doesn't make sense to me.

I used to eat there maybe twice a month. You would hear rumours that they used rat meal, or people would find eye balls in there burgers. After watching that movie, I'm having second thoughts about if the claims they made were really rumours or actually true.

A lot of people think that fast food is good for you, but it isn't at all. There are healthier restaurants than McDonald's such as Subway, Italian places and others. After seeing this movie I think people who eat out a lot with have second thoughts about going to McDonalds instead of quickly going home and making a quick health meal.

The kids of today don't exercise enough and are becoming fat. There are schools that only let the kids have gym for 30 minutes once a week. That is no where near enough exercise for a child. The youth of today is become overweight and dangerously out of

    I had actually already seen this movie. It was a great companion to Eric Schlosser’s book Fast Food: The Dark Side of the American Meal. The director and Sclosser wanted to turn Fast Food into a movie, and I think Food Inc covered much of the same material. With my research into obesity and reading the book nothing in the film was surprising. The film I think served to re-ignite a passion in me that I had lost. The film also put visuals to much of the book, and the visuals are disturbing.…

    On the other hand, a family who can only afford to buy fast food due to low income received by parents makes me to feel disheartened. Fast food is very risky for consumption because there are some dangerous elements being emerged from it while watching the film. The film made me to think and realise on how we as consumers/buyers are been blindfolded by these multinational food companies, the way animals are slaughtered and the thought of consuming contaminated food with high levels of bacteria such as E-coli. I feel sickened at how meat are been cut up and packed in a way that it looks so beautiful and alluring, making us consumers to fall in love with the meat package. What we don’t realise is the presence of faecal matter from this slaughtered animals with high levels of bacteria which is very toxic and can cause more damage in my well-being.…

    What is making the next generation fat? Just a decade or so ago the debate of childhood obesity was not even a matter to be discussed. Our grandparents never even questioned the weight of their children.

With the ever so growing popularity of fast foods, the introduction of Play station and Xbox games and the more demanding careers of today 's parents, the overdevelopment of both urban and suburban areas our kids are living sedentary lives and are becoming very…

I think I eat pretty good and I work out a lot anyway so I don't feel a change in diet is necessary to me.

    Factors such as unhealthy food choices on school campuses, lack of physical activities in schools, and inadequate health education for America’s youth are the main causes of childhood obesity in America. Although public schools could have a large impact on creating a healthier generation of children, many more accomplishments would have to occur in order to see a complete reformation. Firstly, the American culture would have to be completely revolutionized. Supersized meals and poor exercise habits would have to be abolished in order to see drastic changes. Secondly, parents would have to embrace the health and fitness ideals their children are being taught at school. Healthy, nutritious meals and exercise patterns could not stop once school is dismissed. Parents would have to adopt these principles and implement them into their homes. Finally, legislation would have to be passed that integrates health education and physical fitness classes as core subjects. These specific changes would create bright children that are eager to learn. Also, healthy minds and bodies would allow children to reach their full potential academically, socially, and physically. As John F. Kennedy once said, “Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual…
