Morgan Spurlock's extreme diet demonstrates the hazards of consuming too much fast food. Since so much of the American diet contains processed, fatty items, obesity has become a significant, widespread epidemic. Does Spurlock's documentary effectively identify the problem and offer a solution? Is his experiment a valid one, and does he treat the issue fairly? Who is responsible for the negative health outcomes that fast food causes?
Spurlock uses an expository direct address in his documentary. How does this compare or contrast with Michael Moore's interactive approach? Which part of Supersize Me did you find most effective? Did one particular track (audio, visual or text) have a greater impact on you than the others?
Are there any issues that you would be willing to make sacrifices for as Spurlock did in making this film? What would you be willing to give up in order to make a difference for a cause that you support?
