Rose G I was shown this documentary as a kid, and I was enganged and entertained throughout the entire runtime, which allowed me to let down my guard and be taught the lesson that fast food is bad for you and you should try to limit the amount of it that you eat regularly. Which is such a difficult thing to actually teach kids, and most people who try come across as mean adults who want you to stop having fun. But not this movie. It approached me where I was as a kid, entertained me and enganged me with its fun bits and jokes and animation, and in between them snuck in the lesson that fast food, and especially places like McDonalds are bad for you, and are doing everything they can to trick your brain into thinking it likes their food. Put simply, because of this film it has been many years since I ate McDonalds, and the last time I did I absolutely hated it. It didn't taste like food, it tasted like chemicals trying to manipulate my brain into liking it. Now, when I occasionally want to have something fast and cheap and bad for me - as a bit of a cheat - I go for local alternatives whose food isn't loaded with salt and sugar and MSG, which quite frankly is better for my health and the local community, and I attribute that, in no small part, to this movie being show to me as a kid. So, whether it taught this lesson in the most well-researched manor is quite frankly unimportant to me. What is important is that it managed to teach the lesson to kids, where so many other documentaries and teachers and parents - despite their efforts - didn't.

Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/12/25 Full Review Oaklee D An interesting documentary. Some parts haven't aged well, the Jared Fogle segment especially. But that's not the fault of the film itself due to being released before his crimes came to light. Give it a watch if you want to kill some time. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/04/25 Full Review Gabriel M Poorly written movie and stupid lines around 20 minutes into the film. Should’ve been rated R. Waste of time!! I just found out how the dude who made this film named Morgan Spurlock was a sexual predator by reading his Wikipedia page. It’s a darn shame he gets away with assaulting woman, and sad his victims never got justice. Thank goodness he’s dead.
