Morgan Spurlock was watching a TV programme about fast food when he had an idea. A representative of McDonalds was saying that their food was nutritious and healthy. Morgan disagreed with this, and he decided to do an experiment. He decided to eat in fast food restaurants every day, three times a day, for thirty days.
At the beginning of his experiment, Morgan went to three doctors, who checked his weight and his health. Morgan was energetic, healthy and happy. Then be started his fast food diet. At first he didn't feel too unhealthy, but soon he was having headaches and stomach aches.
Normally Morgan didn't eat many burgers, but suddenly he was eating them constantly and he felt unwell; he wasn't eating enough fruit and vegetables, and he was eating too much fat. A burger and chips with a large cola gives you enough energy to walk seven miles, but Morgan didn't do any exercise.
After twenty-one days, Morgan's doctors were very worried because there was too much fat and sugar in the fast food diet. In their opinion, the experiment was dangerous and irresponsible, but Morgan continued. At the end of the thirty-day experiment he felt unhealthy, tired and overweight, and he was eleven kilos heavier.
While Morgan was on fast food diet, he made a documentary about his experience, called Supersize Me. When the film became popular, some fast food restaurant changed their menus. They say that their food is healthier now, but Morgan prefers to eat at home.
