supersize me!

Michael, Jenny and I watched the documentary, Supersize Me, last night. Filmmaker Morgan Spurlock embarks on the most perilous journey of his life as his healthy lifestyle is changed and his body functions rapidly change. The rules? For 30 days he can't eat or drink anything that isn't on McDonald's menu; he must wolf three squares a day; he must consume everything on the menu at least once and supersize his meal if asked.

Spurlock's grueling drive-through diet spirals him into a physical and emotional metamorphosis that will make you think twice about picking up another Big Mac.

At the end of the movie, Jenny looked at me and actually thanked me for NOT taking them to McDonald's very much.

As one marketing executive pointed out, even if parents sit with their children for three meals a day and promote healthy eating in a lifetime, it is a drop in the bucket compared to the thousands of advertisements that the children see on tv over time.

Scary thought.
