Fast Food Nation and Super Size Me


Fast Food Nation and Super Size Me

            The movie Super Size Me is a very fascinating, and an eye opener movie. It shows how fast food affects our body. The food may taste good but what matter more the taste of the food or how it’s harming us from the inside? The movie shows how adults and kids are being fooled by the advertised toys given in “Happy Meal”, it provokes them to buy the meal just because they want the toy and eventually they end up eating the meal too. In the movie it clearly states that 60% of the population is suffering from obesity, 1/3 of children will grow to have diabetes. These things are serious because now days a lot of the population survives on fast food not realizing what it actually means and even if people are aware of it they still don’t care. The owner or companies don’t care about your health for them its all about money/business. In the book Fast Food Nation in chapter 2 it talk about how kids use nagging to force their parents to get them what they want from outside. They have so many methods of nagging eventually the parents fall for one or two and the kids get what they want. Kids also play a major role in pushing the fast food business to expand. In book it also shows the cruel and dirty side of McDonald's. They advertise purposely in the places where kids will see and crave for them. They advertise on cartoon channels, playgrounds, and restaurants. It’s all over that kids can’t help their craving. Its disgusting how for money how low can these people go. What’s the point of you killing the same people you’re advertising for? If these people end up chronic conditions and they can’t eat fast food anymore how is it helping you. Eventually they will lose business one day!
