Super-size me

Well just to prove that I'm uptodate and in no way at all lagging behind "popular" culture, I finally got round to watching "Super-Size Me" this week. (Thanks to the joy of Sky+, I recorded it about 2 weeks ago, and have only just got round to finishing it. I will extol the wonders of Sky+ some more on another occasion!)
Man, I'm never eating fast-food again. It's a quality piece of film for those of you who are even less with it than me and also have yet to see it. I thoroughly recommend it, although not while you're sitting down eating junk food. You'll feel so disgusted with yourself that you won't be able to finish your food. Or the film, depending on whether you're really determined to munch your way through the grease and additve laden stodge that you've purchased.
My favourite bit of the film (without this sounding like a 10 year olds book review; "I liked this book, and I would give it 8/10. My best bit was...") was the section where Morgan Spurlock (the film maker and "star") had his first super-sized meal from McDonalds, and took 20-odd minutes to finish eating it, immediately followed by his stomach deciding that its contents were too mcuh for it, and expelling the aforementioned, offending, over-sized meal. Apparantly McD's removed the Super-size option from their menus a short while after the film was released, but I was still amazed at the difference in size between American McDonalds meals, and European McDonalds meals (or British at least). It's like the difference between a 2 litre bottle of coke, and a can!!! Unbelievable. No wonder there is so much obesity in America - if all their food outlets think that such gargantuan portions are normal I'm amazed that there are any people over there who aren't over-weight!!
BTW, it feels wrong referring to the McDonalds "menu", I always figure resturants as having menus, and to my mind I never included McD's in that category. Menus are for posh places, McDonalds has a choices board!
Ok. So it's all been said before, and a long time ago, when the film first came out (2003?), but this is my blog, and I'll put what I like in here. Hah. World domination starts here!
