Read 'n' Seed:Don't Eat This Book: Fast Food and the Supersizing of America
The book that I chose to read is called Don't Eat This Book: Fast Food and the Supersizing of America. This book is about how the author, Morgan Spurlock analyzes America's growing obesity epidemic. It also looks at the relation obesity has to the fast food chains and how our government is promoting this industry causing the epidemic. I chose this book because I am very interested in our nation's health and how fast food affects the well-being of peoples' everyday lives. I was also very curious to read about his experiment, in which he only ate McDonald's food for 30 days straight and exercised like an "average" American. I can about imagine how terrible he felt after that, wait I take that back, I DON'T ever want to imagine how that feels like let alone what it tastes like. What a brutal month of crappy, processed food. Yuck.

Wow! I would have a difficult time eating only McDonald's for an entire month. Ick! This will surely be a fun read. I can't wait to hear more about it.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree! This experiment of his would literally be sickening! I'm looking forward to reading how it affected him on a daily basis!
ReplyDeleteGreat book choice! It should be pretty interesting to learn more about the obesity epidemic (and hear about all that fast food consumption). I've been meaning to read this book and I'm excited to see what you think of it/ if you enjoy it or not.
ReplyDeleteI watched the movie Supersize me in high school. It sounds the same as this book! You'll have an interesting read!
