takes the proverbial obesity, the American director Morgan Spurlock as an opportunity for a masochistic self-experiment: For one month, he eats only at McDonald's, with the order to leave nothing to be ... More than a third of American children and young people with weight problems. In adults, two thirds are overweight or obese. Why do so many Americans are so fat? Often this the fast-food chains are held responsible, but damages claims morbidly obese consumer abgeschmettert were several times for lack of evidence.

Morgan Spurlock wants to bring in more experience about the consequences of this diet and the effects of junk food on health. He asked to professionals in over 20 U.S. cities, from New York to Houston: a former health policy-makers, fitness trainers, canteen cooks, marketing professionals, lawyers and lobbyists. During his investigation
chooses Morgan Spurlock for a self-experiment: he is under the expert supervision of three doctors for 30 days eating exclusively at McDonald's and at this time as often drive by taxi to more than 5,000 steps a day to be covered - The average walking distance of an American.
His self-imposed rules: breakfast, lunch and dinner must be taken every day at McDonald's. Each dish on the card must be eaten at least once. No exceptions. You eat only what it at McDonald's. Water must be drunk there. Super-size menu, the extra large version must always be eaten when they are offered to him by the staff at the counter.
In the 30 days it takes to 13 kilograms. The doctors advise him to premature termination of the experiment, but he is determined to get through to the end ...

Spurlock's film, a mixture of subjective Criticism and hard search, reality TV, trashy diary and masochistic self-experiment à la Jackass is funny but also terrifying, when you look at the facts: Obesity is after smoking the second leading cause of death in America. According to the lawyer of two obese girls in a lawsuit that they had filed against the fast-food market leader, the fast-food restaurants to a large extent for this "national epidemic" responsible. McDonald's has this not only vehemently denied allegations, but is praised even out the nutritional benefits of their own food supply. The obvious absurdity of this statement uses for Spurlock his film, as he contrasts it again and again with the reality of fast-food world, and so the inconsistency of these statements reveals the fast-food restaurants.
He exposes the marketing tricks that children are "lured with food," the greed for more and more food and the junk-food "culture" in the fast-food restaurants and school cafeterias between New York and Texas. And while he makes himself the guinea pig eating an experiment in the style of a body-art performance. Day after day he calls his body, stuffing themselves full to the point of nausea, observed by the camera mercilessly. The consequences of the Big Mac diet will soon be obvious: abdominal pain, vomiting, heart palpitations, insomnia, depressed mood, decreased libido, elevated cholesterol, high blood pressure, abnormal liver changes, increased appetite, and above all, a huge weight gain. 14 months then he needed in order to slim down the pounds again. Conclusion: Food can be a pleasure, but bad food a deadly danger.
The documentary won an Oscar nomination in 2005 for best documentary and the prize for best director in the documentary category at the Sundance Film Festival 2004. He also received the Award of the Association of American writers for Best Documentary Screenplay (2005) and numerous other awards.
