Super Size Me (2004)

In this Oscar-nominated, and Sundance and Edinburgh award-winning documentary, Morgan Spurlock subsists for a whole month on McDonald's meals. If the restaurant staff asks if he wants his meal maximised to "Super Size", his own rules stipulate that he must say yes. And he must eat it all.

A coruscating attack on the fast-food industry, the film is laced with both wit and horror as Spurlock receives increasingly worrying medical advice while his "experiment" proceeds. The film also examines the link between child obesity in America and the food on offer in schools, as well as how advertising by major companies influences America's diet.
