The fast food industry in the US tells you pretty much all you need to know about the story of modern America. Reading the likes of Eric Schlosser’s Fast Food Nation you learn about the lobbying in Washington by the big corporations, the saturation of advertising targeted at infants (future fast food customers), the chemical processing of the food until it’s barely recognizable as such and the exploitation of an underpaid transient work force that keeps costs to a minimum.
Morgan Spurlock’s documentary, Super Size Me, complements the journalistic picture gonzo style by embarking on a diet where he ate nothing but McDonald’s meals for a month and almost destroyed his health in the process. With a quirky sense of humour and a disarming interview technique, Spurlock brings out the goofiness in American culinary culture – or what passes for it.

BS, I’m American and I can kick your ass at any sport. I’m six feet tall and ripped, and I’ve never seen such a sorry looking bunch of losers since I made the mistake of changing planes in Gatwick. Good show, fat brit losers. Of course I wasn’t stopping in the UK, just changing planes to Spain. I would never go to England. Dumbest, fattest, most moronic country in the world.
I´m American too and I can really bodyslam punks against any wall ya want. HELL YA !!!!!!!!
