I love this idea of taking Spurlock's film, Super Size Me and showing it to schools around the country. I wish I had this kind of education when i was younger. I may not have worked at Burger King although that was kinda fun.
The film chronicles his deterioration during the experiment, measuring his bulging belly, soaring cholesterol, depression, lack of attention and sexual dysfunction, which he edited out for the school film.
The film is critical of the fast-food industry for targeting advertising to children. But it also is critical of some schools for making junk food like ice cream, candy, chips and soda available for lunch. One scene shows students ordering nothing but french fries, soda and candy as their lunch, while lunch workers say the food is there because children need to learn to make the right choices.
The thing is I ordered 2 cookies and 2 chocolate milks every day. Sooo good.
Spurlock will also probably get an Oscar on the 27th.
