"Super Size Me"

Hello Health students!

Today we received a good sampling of what to expect from the movie we will be watching in class tomorrow, "Super Size Me." If you missed it, the film is a documentary that follows the life of it's director as he partakes in a diet consisting only of McDonald's fast food menu items.

His experimental eating behavior and resulting metamorphosis ties perfectly into our studies on obesity, and should get you thinking deeply about the cause of our nation's over-weight epidemic.

When we finish the film next week, there will be a worksheet to for you to complete on Wednesday. So as you watch, please give the film your undivided attention. It may not be a bad idea to take notes while you watch!

If you missed the video clips we watched in-class today, or would like to see them again, they can be found below. Enjoy!
