"Fast Food Nation" is one of the most influential books I ever read... and given the movie's disappointment translation of the book, I'm happy Morgan did "Super Size Me" to shed some light on the "reality" of McDonald's food. Ultimately, Food Inc. is Fast Food Nation done right.

Fathead the movie is far superior to Supersize Me
If supersizing was part of the obesity problem, why has abolishing it had little effect? http://www.fathead-movie.com/index.php/about/ - 9 months ago
