Einen Monat lang nur bei McDonald's essen: Cheeseburger, Pommes frites, Cola, Big Macs oder Apfeltaschen. Traum oder Albtraum? Diese Frage wollte der Amerikaner Morgan Spurlock in einem filmischen Selbstversuch beantworten und ging drei Mal täglich in Filialen der Fast-Food-Kette essen. Was für manches Kind wie ein Leben im Schlaraffenland klingt, endete für den Amerikaner äußerst unangenehm: Spurlock nahm in 30 Tagen 12 Kilogramm zu und bekam gesundheitliche Probleme...

misleading and fearmongering is what this movie is about - try watching Fat Head (2009) - a reporter re-did the experiment while eating everything on the menu at least once - no starving, no 'salad only' diet, yet he was able to even loose weight while doing it and he even debunked Spurlocks sensationalism as outright deceitful.
I remember watching this in Science in like Year 10 and laughing at the fact that his sex life suffered. But like that's some screwed up stuff. As a lot of people have said, Morgan's experiment is extreme but it's so interesting to see what he goes through. What we have here is an extremely entertaining and shocking documentary. However, although it has many valid points, it shouldn't necessarily be taken as real scientific research.
This movie was considered a fraud even when it came out and Spurlock recently indicated that he has been a functioning alcoholic for most of his life - the likely cause of his health issues and the excessive caloric difference between what he ate and the weight he gained. This is more cash-grab than propaganda and more propaganda than documentary.
It's a pretty good documentary, made me laugh and feel disgusted.
