The first ever reality-based movie ... everything begins and ends in 30 days!
Morgan Spurlock subjects himself to a diet based only on McDonald's fast food three times a day for thirty days without exercising to try to prove why so many Americans are fat or obese. He submits himself to a complete check-up by three doctors, comparing his weight along the way, resulting in a scary conclusion.

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.
