After a while it was just making me hungry for "McDonald's"
|
I think that the guy who made this movie was trying to be like Micheal Moore in that he was trying to bring down "McDonald's" in a very sensationalist and dramatic way. I think that a 20 minute expose on the health value and marketing strategies of "McDonald's" would be sufficient to bring forward the points he was trying to make, but a full-length movie on the subject was too much for me. After a while it was just making me hungry for "McDonald's".
By the way, I love "McDonald's". I understand that it is a big capitolist money-making machine that markets junk food to children. However, they do have healthy foods on the menu such as chicken salad. They also raise money for children with cancer. Every month or so I just have to fill my craving for a Big Mac, a Fish Filet or an Egg McMuffin.
My belief in healthy eating has to with moderation. of course, as the movie makes clear, eating "McDonald's" every day is bad for your health. But I don't think there's anything wrong with taking the family out to "McDonald's" every other month or so, especially if your on a road trip.
This is not the kind of movie that you'll want to buy and watch over and over again. I would rent it and stop at "McDonald's" on your way back to returning it. |
