Super Size Me Captain

Hello can I please get the double quarter pounder with cheese meal", "would you like to supersize that?", "I think I’m gonna have to go Super Size!" Super Size, a popular phrase found only at McDonalds where people can by super sized meals that could feed a good sized family, but I'm not here to talk about super sizing. On May 7 2004 a movie review was posted about Matthew Spurlock’s hit documentary “Super Size ME” which talked about how Spurlock’s experiment was to educate us on how eating fast foods everyday for long periods of time can physically and mentally hurt the body. However some people don’t agree that McDonalds and other fast food corporations are to blame for America’s obesity problems. A sentence in an article written by Ruth Kava in February 2004 stated, “The finger pointing indulged in by Mr. Spurlock and others is misleading because it suggests that "fast foods" are the main culprits for the nation's increasing prevalence of overweight and obesity. But the problem is bigger than just one type of food.”  Who is really to blame for obesity? In a sense Kava is right, people must understand that eating McDonalds or any other fast food every day is making them sicker and sicker, and that blaming corporations isn’t the answer, but are the people really to blame?. They shouldn’t be, but if communities form together and create a solution using the ideas of corporation to their advantage; they can create corporations that serve the publics interest through healthy choices.  Super Size Me is a great example of how corporations control and manipulate there buyers, what corporations don’t understand though is that you can still make money selling healthy tasteful options that benefit the company and the general public.
