      It once again reflects the extremely chaotic thinking mode of American logic.

      "This is an interesting documentary. Regarding the relationship between McDonald's fast food and American health problems such as obesity, Morgan planned a 'trying by himself' experimental plan: in a month, he did not go to McDonald's to order food, he did not Eat something else. After three meals a day at McDonald's, Morgan noticed dramatic changes in his body: a 30-pound weight gain, soaring blood pressure, mental fatigue, sluggish breathing, and a plummeting quality of sex life.

      Kid, king, liar

      The director and leading actor Morgan Spurlock did one thing in this film, that is, to magnify a fact that we know very well, but intentionally or unintentionally ignore it, magnify it and place it in front of us clearly. The reasons and conditions for comforting myself were all eliminated by Morgan in the film. Only the facts are in front of us. There is no escape and no excuses. What should we do at this time?

      Mainly want to talk about another piece.

      I’ve seen another piece before:

      However, the staff in the cafeteria said that if they have few staff and do not need to process food, they are simply too busy, and almost no children have complained about their food. If you want to make healthy food, let that person make it by himself, and...

      Can't write a short review

      McDonald's is the epitome of globalization, but the harm it brings is a bit more obvious than some other areas, and that is health. The world knows that the iconic super size in the United States is actually not only in McDonald’s, but also in large supermarkets such as Costa. It can only be said that McDonald’s has more precise positioning and developed a sales method that conforms to American thinking. It can even be said that it is After understanding some of the human...
