Supersize Me

Watched this movie today. It was very well made. The main character, very healthy, takes up a challenge to be on McDonald's diet for 30 days. He get himself checked with 3 doctors and one RD before the challenge, and keep testing his physical health/blood test throughout 30 days.

He is just eating 3 meals at McDonalds and he is supposed to cover everything in menu during his 30 days. What struck me that when this young man narrated his childhood memories of his mother, that she used to be mostly in kitchen, and they hardly every ate out. This is similar to my memories. I used to think that US has fast food and eating out trend for a long time. Apparently not. The fast food challenge is a challenge for us as a parent. It is easy to eat out, as it is cheap and save on time. Even with cell phone, computer, online bill payment and all technology advances, I think rushed life is one of our biggest challenge.

At the end of the movie, main character's cholestrol jumped from 165 to 225, and wait shot up by 25 pounds, however, there was no change in height.

I am not going to McDonalds anymore. Not that we are going any of fast food places for a long time, thanks to Promila's cooking. To be fair, among among all Fast Food which serve similar food as that of McDonalds, McDonald is the best in terms of ingradient use and calories.

Movie is highlt recommended.
