SUPER SIZE ME

[onahna]

I love fast food. I really enjoy it in Korea. It is cheap and also everywhere. However, after I watched this movie, I regret my behavior. I has [have] known that it can make me fat but I did not know we can [become] addicted to eat and make our health terrible. What is the most shocking part to me was when he did 3rd or 4th medical test. His body, especially liver health is getting worse like a smoker. I am a person who (is) really care[s] about her health. So that's why I was shocked.

In Korea, we usually eat vegetable with rice at lunch. However, nowadays, we used to eat fast food. Diabetes, and other causes from fast food is also big problem in Korea.

This movie can not block us to enter fast food. However, It alerts us. Maybe, we will think one more time before enter the fast food restaurants.

Teacher's note: The funny thing about fast food, for me, is that I don't think most of it tastes good, and I don't like how it makes me feel after I eat it. Therefore, it's easy to say NO. But there are two problems: It's cheap, and it's convenient. So when I want cheap and convenient, I know where to go. Does anyone really think fast food tastes great compared to what else we can eat? Sometimes, a perfectly ripe pear, peach, or Fiji apple is all I need to be in food heaven. What do you think?

Supersize me. Movie about a person fighting against fast food. The man who is very healthy at the beginning of the movie went to doctors to make several tests to prove that he is in good shape. After that he started his special one-month-long-fast-food diet. During his diet he attended doctors each week to track his condition.

The movie shows impressive statistics and interview of doctors, specialists and company owners. The during his monthly diet visited and ate in many states including most fat states of US. Already, after second week of the project, the man faced terrible feeling and doctors proved that he is in terrible condition. Even his girlfriend notice[d] it. Doctors advised him to stop his diet. However he didn't.

At the end of the month he was almost dying. After his movie a lot of changes happened in fast food industry, in a good direction.

Teacher's note: Another great post with a few GPS issues, but improved from earlier submissions. I like how this author points out how Morgan Spurlock conducts his experiment in some of the "fattest" states to get a sense of the local culture. Big thanks for a cool post.

This movie give us a lot to think about it. In the beginning,Morgan Spurlock was exciting about his experiment. Howver, with the time passed, the feeling of his body has changed, it was easy to feel tired and easy to sleep after he ate lots of fast food.His body shape changed and caused some healthy problem.

First, there is one person can eat same stuff in one month. That is huge challenge to me and i don't think i can do it ,so it was surprised me. Also, when he interview the passerby what is the calorie, there was nobody can answer it. I ask myself what that is , i also can not answer it. It is the fact that there are some words we speak daily but don't understand what it really is.

When somebody ask me what is the American food, i always answer fast food.Even though many people eat fast food is not good for their health, they still have to eat it. In the modern society, people are facing many kinds of pressure, such as working, traffic. If some people want to eat good healthy food, they have to wait. But the problem is we don't have enough time to wait to eat lunch when we are working at the office.Moreover, some people need drive hours to the office, it save lots of time when they stopped to buy fast food.The fast food fits people's needs, that's why it can spread all over the world and make profits for the companies.

In my high school, we have many kinds of delicious Chinese food, i missed that too much. it has vegetables, beans, many kinds of meat and hot soups. it was very helath. And they changed the menu every week,I have more choice. However, even though i came here not for long time, i have already been tired of American food .
