By now, the entire Western world knows the story of Morgan Spurlock's McExperiment: To test the health effects of fast food consumption, the young filmmaker indulged himself with an all-McDonald's diet for 30 days. By the end of the month, the results were painfully apparent: Spurlock had gained 25 pounds; his blood pressure had skyrocketed; and his libido had all but evaporated. His documentary Super Size Me captured his ballooning condition in award-winning fashion. Don't Eat This Book takes his fast food addiction out on the road. Spurlock travels across the country, visiting schools, hospitals, and private homes to investigate how our sleazy eating habits and the declining emphasis on health and physical education are undermining our well-being. He interviews surgeon-generals, lawmakers, health researchers, and physicians on our girth-expanding diets and even queries pint-sized kids on their eating preferences. A muckraking main course.
