We always knew fast food was bad for you. But reading here about Morgan Spurlock's documentary called "Super Size Me", I was kinda scared. His documentary is a film of himself eating Mcdonalds for every meal...30 days straigt. Errr, sounds like a dumb thing to do, but his documentary has made a big impact, both on people viewing it, and on Mcdonalds. The article talks about Mcdonald's recent economic difficulties, how this film can hurt the economy for fast food, and the extreme lengths, restaurants like Mcdonalds are going to, just to keep people happy, such has selling salads, etc. The article also shows how corporations fund/donate to polititions and other companies so they can stay on top. Guess who The American Council on Science and Health's past doners have been... Chocolate manufacturers, Burger King, Coca Cola, and other companies producing unhealthy food. I thought that interseting since we'd discussed how corporations give money to get people to make favorable decisions for them in Dr. Tufte's class. Hope you enjoy the article.
