super size me

June 15 movie: Super Size Me. There's been a lot of talk about this movie. I enjoyed it, although I found it a bit preachy. Well actually a lot preachy. Also I felt there was a mean-spirited "ha ha look at the fatties" tone to the constant images of large people. That really put me off.

That said, I did really enjoy the movie. It made me extremely glad that I haven't eaten at McDonald's in years. (I just hope no one ever does a documentary about eating Bojangles for thirty days!) The part about nutrition in schools was really upsetting. And I have to give his girlfriend credit. Not many vegan chefs would support their boyfriend through a project like this!
