This is a film has been on the tips of peoples tongues for months. It is a documentary about a man named ____ who decides to embark on an all McDonalds diet for a month to see what effect it will have on his body. I don�t think I will be spoiling the plot to say the results are unpleasant with his liver turning to a p�t� like substance among other things. It does reveal some interesting facts such as the actual number of calories in a package of McD�s fries and the vastness of food portions in America. However I think the people prophesising it will be the downfall of the fast food industry will be disappointed as it simply isn�t shocking enough to have that kind of effect. Facts such as the number of Americans who are overweight have been known long before now and since we don�t experience what he feels whilst on the diet the films effectiveness as a deterrent is diminished. Personally I felt like a burger as soon it was over. A decent film, worth watching (especially if you�re on a diet), but not spectacular.
