Annotation:
Morgan Spurlock, whose film SUPER SIZE ME tore into America's obsession with fast food, puts his ideas into print. Spurlock documents the extent of the average person's dependence on fast food (spending $124 billion a year), looks at the health problems this can cause (including obesity and diabetes), and largely blames the industry for the situation. With humor but also an arsenal of indisputable facts, Spurlock moves beyond his immediate topic to question American consumer culture in general.
