----> Event Description <-----------------------------------------------
Come to a very special screening of two fun and provocatice films:
Super Size Me
Directed by Morgan Spurlock
�This is every eight-year-old�s dream!� enthuses filmmaker and human guinea pig Morgan Spurlock on the first morning of a harrowing plunge into the tubby depths of our fast food nation. For the next 30 days, Spurlock allows himself to consume only what passes over the counter at McDonald�s. His iron-clad rules: Eat three meals a day, super-size the order whenever it is suggested, and try everything on the menu at least once. Documenting his distension under the supervision of a nutritionist, a trio of doctors and his horrified vegan chef girlfriend, the fit, six-foot-two, 185-pound Spurlock becomes . . . well, that would be telling, but who�s up for a nice green salad after the screening? Using his daredevil gastronomic stunt as a jumping-off point for a wider exploration of the role fast food plays in America�s super-sized collective weight problem, Spurlock hits the road to interview a range of health and food industry experts as well as just plain folks, and marshals a staggering amount of research into this playful, pointed and highly entertaining cautionary tale of epic proportions.
