Every day, one in four Americans visits a fast food restaurant. Spurlock, however, can eat enough food for three out of four people in a month. He films the documentary of his binge and calls it Super Size Me. He makes a plan to eat only McDonald's for a month to see how it will affect his health. Spurlock's thirty-day binge to prove that McDonald's is the source of America's ill health is invalid, because he is not average America. In 2004, Spurlock makes a documentary about the dangers of fast food with the hope of helping two girls prove a point. to the courts that McDonald's made them fat. He shot most of the documentary in New York and ate McDonald's three times a day for an entire month, hence the name “McDiet”. With the McDiet come five rules that lead Spurlock to do things that the “average” American does on a daily basis. He also has a set of rules that he has to live by for that month. He must eat three meals a day, he can only consume McDonald's products, he must overdo his meals when required, eat every product from the menu at least once, last but not least, he can only take 5000 steps a day. For him, the McDiet is the ultimate defense for girls and his theories. As they walk down the street, Mark Fenton tells Spurlock, “The average American only takes about 2,000 to 3,000 steps a day; if you want to feel like an average American limit yourself to about 5000 a day” (Super Size Me). To emulate the average American, Spurlock limits himself to taking just 5,000 steps a day. Before this decision, however, he is anything but your everyday American. He lives in New York, and the average New Yorker is used to walking four to five miles a day. Nearly 210 million Americans... middle of the paper... it's unreasonable for him to place all the blame on McDonald's. It is a consumer's choice to choose where to eat and Spurlock takes away their personal choice. If his methods are accurate, he attempts to demonstrate that people have no choice in what they eat. There are certainly Americans who agree with Spurlock's theory and believe that fast food is harmful to everyone's health, but simply choose not to eat it. Spurlock's method of justifying his theory is not reasonable enough to prove to the judge that McDonald's is the source of America's ill health, and the two girls lose their case. Fortunately for Americans and their health, still only one in four people eat fast food a day. Director Morgan Spurlock. Perf. Morgan Spurlock.
