Nutrition: Documentary

Super Size Me

 

Summary

This film follows Morgan Spurlock through a month of solely eating McDonalds. It shows him each day getting food from the fast food restaurant and him going to the doctor progressively over time. This film covers the dangers of eating too much fast food and reasons why it is bad for one’s health. This is the best selection from nutrition documentaries because advertising can be misleading for children and this shows them the actual evidence of the effects fast food has on you. It is also entertaining and provides comedic relief so that students can stay engaged.

 

Integration
