2004100 min6.7 / 10

A provocative, self-inflicted health experiment that uses personal bodily deterioration as a vehicle for systemic critique of the fast-food industry and American eating habits.

Morgan Spurlock subjects himself to a diet based only on McDonald's fast food three times a day for thirty days without exercising to try to prove why so many Americans are fat or obese. He submits himself to a complete check-up by three doctors, comparing his weight along the way, resulting in a scary conclusion.
