In 2004, Morgan Spurlock's documentary film Super Size Me produced negative publicity for McDonald's, with allegations that McDonald's food was contributing heavily to the epidemic of obesity in American society, and failing to provide nutritional information about its food for its customers. For 30 days Spurlock ate nothing but McDonald's (supersizing whenever asked) and by the end of the month Spurlock reported mood swings, sexual dysfunction, and had gained 24.5 pounds (11.11 kg). Subsequent to the showing of the film at the Sundance Film Festival, but before its cinematic release, McDonald's phased out its Supersize meal option and began offering several healthier menu items, though no link to the film was cited in this decision. They also began a practice of putting all nutritional information for all menu items in light grey small print on the reverse of their tray liners. The company is currently phasing in nutritional labelling in clear black print on the actual packaging of its food items. Several other people later similarly ate only at McDonald's for a month, but by choosing menu items more judiciously and exercising frequently, showed no ill effects (Spurlock ate everything on the menu at least once, always accepted upsizing requests of McDonald's employees, and continued to eat after he was full. At the same time he consciously attempted to get little or no exercise.). Merab Morgan, a North Carolina woman, was even able to lose weight. She claimed that the transparency of nutritional information made it easy to control her daily caloric intake.

Just watch the movie Super Size Me. It shows how this one guy ate nothing but Mc Donalds for a whole month and got so sick and his cholesteral shot up. He even said that the salads they served were full of sugars. Some people say that there is an additive in the food that makes it so addictive. The guy in the movie proved it, he had headaches when he didnt eat the food and his mood was down, then when he did eat the food he was happy again and full of energy.

Most important fact. Eating at McDonalds makes you fat. There is a great movie called Supersize Me. It's about a guy who ate all 3 meals at McDonalds for oh, a long time and how sick and fat he got. Check it out!

Just simply go to the website and look the nutrition value in each meal, most are the equivalent of what we need all day long! Look up trans fat , the fries are loaded!
