Now I will definately watch "SuperSize Me", and with the whole family too. I recently heard another family say they stopped eating at McDonalds after seeing that movie. I think I can do without the happy meals and those little plastic toys that seem to pile up and get stuck under the car seats. Actually, we only stop at Mickey D's when we're on road trips, but even that may be too much. ~ Steve Hi Tim,

You know, where they look into the see through cow. Ick. Raising corn sounds like how they grow potatoes in Alberta (and elsewhere.) Fiddle with the DNA, force feed 'em fertilizer and water, and damn the consequences! @Cardiogirl: Supersize Me was an awesome movie! I watched it with my whole family, and now we pretty much stay far away from McDonald's. The children never complain; that movie seemed to make a real impact on them.

I haven't seen "SuperSize Me" but I've heard of it and plan to see it one of these days. Your comment about your kids made me laugh. I'm guessing you've heard of Barney. :) ~ Steve Hi cardiogirl,

It was about a guy who only ate at McDonald's for a month. He tracked his physical health (cholesterol, etc.) and weight gain after he finished. It was really interesting. From your review, it sounds like this movie has the same feel. I'll have to check it out if I ever get control of the television again. (Three kids 8 and under. We're always watching cartoons.)
