Supersize Me: My Reaction
Both of these articles are dealing with the movie, Supersize Me starring and directed by Morgan Spurlock. These articles both have very different opinions and extremes on this situation.
As we all know there is an obesity epidemic facing the people of the world today. They way that Morgan Spurlock decided to share his opinion through a documentary explaining the dangers of eating fast food in excess. Now although I agree with what Morgan is saying I do believe that he took the whole concept way too far. The fact that eating fast food is unhealthy for you is widely known fact and has been for a long time. But Spurlock decides to prove the ability of eating this food.
In the movie it seems like he is the voice of the people who have tried to sue the fast food companies but just can’t. Such as the case with two women who tried to sue Mc. Donald’s, saying that it was the cause of their obesity.
Now technically I don’t agree with either one of these article considering that the present the two different extremes. But my opinion can relate more to the TCS Daily article in the sense that we both believe that Spurlock was just doing this to win a award for his documentary.
