Morgan’s Summary of His Results
Morgan’s Summary of His Results
“In only 30 days of eating nothing but McDonald’s I gained 24.5 lbs., my liver turned to fat, and my cholesterol shot up 65 points [to 230]. My body fat percentage went from 11 to 18%, still below the average of 22% for men and 30% for women. I nearly doubled my risk of coronary heart disease, making myself twice as likely to have heart failure. I felt depressed and exhausted most of the time, my mood swung on a dime, and my sex life was non-existent. I craved this food more and more when I ate it, and got massive cravings when I didn’t. In my final blood test, many of my body functions showed signs of improvement, but the doctors were less than optimistic.”
Information and issues I have become aware of: The movie “Super Size Me” is a great film that exposes the danger of fast food consumption as a steady diet, particularly McDonalds food in this case. I have grown up loving McDonalds food. Eating out there wasn’t something that my family did on a regular basis but when we did it was a special treat. Apple Pies, Cheeseburgers, French Fries, those were my favorites. I never once wondered about the health ramifications for eating such food. It just tasted good, and what kid in America doesn’t like Ronald McDonald. I find it interesting that prior to being exposed to truth in this film, since becoming an adult I have always known that fast food isn’t good for me. Our bodies seem have an interesting way of alerting us to dangerous food intake. This film confirmed my body’s discernment all these years. The film does an amazing job of showing us the before and after effects of eating McDonalds as well showing us the frontline damage that happens to the body in real time, while consuming this type of food. The movie talks about America’s indulgence in fast food and ignorance to its deadly side effects. The movie gives some interesting facts on how some of McDonalds food is prepped and the nutrition facts that are in it. The
