Would You Like an Apple Pie with That?

In class, we're watching "Supersize Me", you know, that "McDonald's makes you fat" movie? While the guy in the movie blames McDonald's and their menu for the extreme change in his health and weight, McDonald's says that it's his own fault for eating 5,000 caleries every day. I can agree with both of these things. True, McDonald's might not have had the healthiest food when the documentary was made (they do have healthier stuff now including like a million salads), but Spurlock didn't have to eat as much as he did. The first time he got breakfast, I seem to remember him ordering an egg McMuffin combo along with a sausage biscuit and who knows what else. That's definitely more than one "meal" for breakfast. Spurlock did say that he had to order one of everything on the menu, but I don't think he had to do it in big groups. He could have stuck to one breakfast, not two.

But obviously the movie did have an effect on McDonald's because they got rid of the super sized meals and are coming out with more healthy opitons all the time.
