Wednesday, July 5 7:30 pm $5 Donation Accepted ----/ Event Description /----------------------------------------------- SUPER SIZE ME Presented by Christine Morrissey East Bay Animal Advocates Why are Americans so fat? Find out in this funny film, a tongue in- cheek and burger-in-hand look at the physical, legal, and financial costs of America's hunger for fast food. Ominously, 37% of American children and adolescents are carrying too much fat and two out of every three adults are overweight or obese. Is it our fault for lacking self-control or are the fast-food corporations to blame? Filmmaker Morgan Spurlock hit the road and interviewed experts in twenty U.S. cities, including Houston, the "Fattest City" in America. From Surgeon Generals to gym teachers, cooks to kids, lawmakers to legislators, these authorities shared their research, opinions, and "gut feelings" on our ever-expanding girth. During the journey, Spurlock also put his own body on the line and lived on nothing but McDonald' s for an entire month. It all adds up to a fat food bill, harrowing visits to the doctor, and compelling viewing for anyone who's ever wondered if man could liveon fast food alone. http:// www.supersizeme.com Before and after the film, everyone's invited to indulge in our Humanist Coffee House $5 donations are accepted ----/ Venue Info /------------------------------------------------------ Humanist Hall 390 27th Street midtown Oakland 510-393-5685 http://www.HumanistHall.net click on the link "Directions" on our website ----/ Additional Info /------------------------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] 925-487-4419 http://www.eastbayanimaladvocates.org ----/ The Squid List Admin /--------------------------------------------- The Squid List, a tentacle of Laughing Squid http://laughingsquid.org/squidlist/ subscribe, unsubscribe, change your email address or change your subscription options: http://lists.laughingsquid.org/mailman/listinfo/squidlist/ Frequently Asked Questions & Submission Guidelines Squid List FAQ: http://laughingsquid.org/squidlist/faq.html The Squid List Online Calendar: http://laughingsquid.org/squidlist/calendar/ The Squid List RSS Feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/squidlist ----/ Laughing Squid /-------------------------------------------------- Laughing Squid http://laughingsquid.com art, culture and technology from San Francisco and beyond Laughing Squid Web Hosting http://laughingsquid.net friendly, dependable and secure web hosting services for artists, individuals, bloggers, non-profits and small organizations The Squid List is licensed under a Creative Commons License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.5/
