Supersize Me Questions

-Spurlock’s message about fast food is that there are much more problems and risks to eating it than the ones we notice. Also he tries to say that companies such as McDonald’s are interested in your money, not your health, and therefore you have to take responsibility. It also conveys that people now rely on already prepared foods like the ones in McDonald’s.

-He tries to prove his message’s validity, by giving facts and ideas. For example in the video someone says that in the “50s and '60s moms were in the kitchen ALL the time, never seen without their aprons, as they were always either preparing, serving, or cleaning up after one meal or another. “ Therefore comparing it to know and how people have become more reliable on prepared, canned foods. Also he interviews nutritionists, doctors and physicians. He also tries to show the American culture, of most Americans by him not exercising.   

-What he does as a director to make me believe his message is he at the end shows, how he ended up after the 30 days, and he explains what he feels.

-The flaws I see in his strategy is that he may be over exaggerating the McDonald’s issue, and also the way he portrayed Americans could have been offensive to some.
