This film should be an interesting epitome of the recent wave of nationwide actions against obesity in the United States. Through the director’s 30-day McDonald’s experience and extensive interviews, we have seen how the fast food/food industry has successfully transformed the poor American people’s stomachs into infinity in a subtle but highly systematic approach. A magical machine that stuffs sucrose and fat and returns more and more cash. The most shocking method is to install children's amusement facilities in McDonald's stores, so that children have a sense of belonging to McDonald's from childhood, so that they can become loyal customers when they grow up. This is as despicable but difficult to detect as tobacco manufacturers produce a plastic toy imitating cigarettes so that children are accustomed to the posture of holding cigarettes from an early age. Of course, this kind of systematic "addiction training" must also be guaranteed politically. This is the reason why eloquent lobbyists exist in Washington.
The film is lively, humorous and slightly ironic. For example, street women cannot recite the oath to the national flag, but they recite McDonald’s advertisements. For example, children who don’t know Bush or Jesus can recognize McDonald’s clowns at a glance. But by no means esoteric, because obviously the author wants to reach a wider group of people, such as the use of a large number of animations, charts, and data.
In fact, clowns have always had evil and hidden qualities in Western traditions. This is also evident in the comics used in the film. Perhaps McDonald's choosing the clown to be its own image endorsement is doomed to its destiny. The United States, which is munching on McDonald's, has become infected with this bad news. Will China be the next one?
