Super Size ME ! Everyone loves fast food but what do people really think about this movie ? Does it really affect people's mind and prospective towards fast food ? Especially towards with "McDonald's" People who have seen this movie or clip of it knows that fast food does really affect our health. But what does McDonald's response about this ? They had to be astonish to know that there are consumer experiencing themselves by eating their product everyday and film it then publish it to the public.
In response to Morgan Spurlock's controversial documentary "Super Size Me", which depicts McDonald's as a source of poor health and obesity, the fast food giant has released the in-house-produced documentary "Salad Without Dressing Me". This man has done all kinds of research and health check up to know how his body is changing and what sort of heart diseases they could might have. Morgan Spurlock is not playing, he is serious about this research on himself and he wants to tell people that McDonald's IS NOT GOOD FOR YOU. But of course, there are people wouldn't care about his opinion and still continue to eat McDonald's.
"I had to prove a point," wheezed Caputo from his hospital bed in a recorded statement. "If I gave in and ate just one chicken McNugget, I would have corrupted the data and my pancreas might have been in near-working order by the end of the experiment." Doctors compared Caputo's condition to that of someone who had spent a month in a Soviet gulag.
"We are pleased with the results," said Janet Thayer, President of McDonald's Marketing Division. "We have paid Mr. Caputo with a lifetime of free McDonald's certificates for himself and anyone else he chooses to give them to – and I must say, they make great stocking stuffers."
Through this conversation, we can all see that the President of McDonald's Marketing didn't really handle it quite while. Personally, I think that kind of a fraud because McDonald's are telling people that there's nothing wrong with their food but in reality there is. People are having health problem and this is no alright at all. This is not how a business should be handle. When I talk about business, it's not just about McDonald's making money but they need to think about people's health and plus McDonald's is international so people across the globe can say they want to stop having business relationship with them and McDonald's could be in a deep trouble for that. I just think if today, they handle this situation better, people would take it differently.
He hasn't been back inside a McDonald's since the end of his experiment
At the end, I think if you really love fast food, you should know what you are eating and knowing what is in your food. Also what's more important is to workout and stay healthy if not you could become worse than Morgan Spurlock.
