Super Size Me -- "Super Size Me" is one man's journey into the world of weight gain, health problems and fast food. It's an examination of the American way of life and how we are eating ourselves to death.

This movie is a little dated (from 2004,) but still brings up a lot of valid points.

People did not stop eating McDonald’s after watching the film because people d...
