فيلم (Super Size Me) ستناول تجربة شاب أمريكي يريد أن يبين أثر (الفاست فود) أي مطاعم الأكل السريع وخصص (ماكدونالدز) بهذه التجربة ، وقرر أنه خلال 30 يوماً سوف يأكل من ماكدونالدز ويراقب ماذا يحصل له .
في بداية الفيلم يجري تحاليل لنفسه، يشرف عليها كذا طبيب سبق أن أخبرهم بتجربته التي ينوي خوضها .
طبعا الأطباء تنبأوا انه سوف يزيد وزنه بعد التجربة، بسبب ارتفاع نسبة الدهون. في الأيام الأولى من تجربته كانت النتائج: أنه يحس بالاكتئاب و الكسل والخمول مع إحساس بالجوع يعني كل مرة يأكل من ماكدونالدز يشعر بالرغبة في المزيد. الخلاصة: عندما بدأ يشعر أنه غير طبيعي ذهب ليجري التحاليل قبل اكتمال الـ30 يوم.. فماذا كانت النتيجة؟؟ لقد صُدم الأطباء!! قالوا له: أنت تشرب كحول! قال: لهم لا! أشاروا إلى أن الكبد متعبة جداً، لكثرة الترسبات الملحية فيها، وان نسبة الدهون مرتفعه جدااا..! ووجدوا مادة تسبب الذبحة الصدرية مترسبة بشكل لا يحصل إلا عند كبار السن، وان مستوى السكر بالدم مرتفع بدرجات خيالية، صعق الشاب!! والطبيب من الصدمة لم يصدق أن كل هذا من الوجبات السريعة لأن تحاليل الشاب كأنها تحاليل رجل هرم طبعا الأطباء أمروه بإيقاف التجربة فوراً لخطورتها الكبيرة على صحته... هذا الفيلم أثار ضجة في أمريكا ومنها بدأت مطاعم الوجبات السريعة بتكثيف الدعاية وبالذات في منطقة الشرق الأوسط. مزيد من التفاصيل حول التجربة ، المقال التالي، والفيلم في نهاية الصفحة Super Size Me From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Super Size Me is a 2004 documentary film written, produced, directed by and starring Morgan Spurlock, an American independent filmmaker. Spurlock's film follows a 30-day time period (February 2003) during which he subsists entirely on food and items purchased exclusively from McDonald's, and the film documents this lifestyle's drastic effects on Spurlock's physical and psychological well-being and explores the fast food industry's corporate influence, including how it encourages poor nutrition for its own profit. During the filming, Spurlock dined at McDonald's restaurants three times per day, sampling every item on the chain's menu at least once. He also super sized his meal every time he was asked. He consumed an average of 5,000 cal (the equivalent of 9.26 Big Macs) per day during the experiment. In February 2005, Super Size Me Educationally Enhanced DVD edition was released. It is an edited version of the film designed to be integrated into a high school health curriculum. MSNBC has also broadcast an hour long version of the film, in addition to the regular version. Before launching this experiment, Spurlock, age 32 at the time the movie was filmed in 2003, ate a varied diet but always had vegan evening meals to appease his then-girlfriend (now wife), Alexandra, a vegan chef. Spurlock was healthy and slim, and stood 6 feet 2 inches (188 cm) tall with a body weight of 185.5 lb (84.1 kg). After thirty days, he gained 24.5 lb (11.1 kg), a 13% body mass increase, and his Body Mass Index rose from 23.2 (within the 'healthy' range of 19-25) to 27 ('overweight'). He also experienced mood swings, sexual dysfunction, and liver damage. It took Spurlock fourteen months to lose the weight he gained. The stated driving factor for Spurlock's investigation was the increasing spread of obesity throughout U.S. society, which the Surgeon General has declared "epidemic," and the corresponding lawsuit brought against McDonald's on behalf of two overweight girls, who, it was alleged, became obese as a result of eating McDonald's food. Spurlock points out that although the lawsuit against McDonald's failed (and subsequently many state legislatures have legislated against product liability actions against producers and distributors of "fast food"), much of the same criticism leveled against the tobacco companies applies to fast food franchises (except that these companies never lied about their product), although it could be argued that fast food, though physiologically addictive, is not as addictive as nicotine. The documentary was nominated for an Academy Award for Documentary Feature. Experiment As the film begins, Spurlock is physically above average, as attested to by three doctors (a cardiologist, a gastroenterologist, and a general practitioner), as well as a nutritionist and a personal trainer. He enlists all five to track his health during the month-long binge. All of the health professionals predict the "McMonth" will have unwelcome effects on his body, but none expect anything too drastic, one citing the human body as being "extremely adaptable." Spurlock starts the month with breakfast near his home in • He must fully eat three McDonald's meals per day • He must sample every item on the McDonald's menu at least once over the course of the 30 days (this he managed in nine days) • He must only ingest items on the menu. This includes bottled water. Any and all outside consumption of food is prohibited. • He must "Super Size" his meal whenever, and only when, the option is offered to him. • He will attempt to walk about as much as a typical American, based on a suggested figure of 5,000 steps per day, but this was not firm as he walked relatively more while in Day 2 brings Spurlock's first Super Size meal, which happens to be a Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese meal, which takes 22 minutes to eat. He experiences steadily increasing "McStomachaches" during the process, which culminates in Spurlock vomiting in the parking lot. After five days Spurlock has gained almost 10 pounds (4.5 kg). It is not long before he finds himself with a feeling of depression, and he finds that his bouts of depression, lethargy, and headaches are relieved by a McDonald's meal. One doctor describes him as "addicted." He has soon gained another 13 pounds (6 kg), putting his weight at 203.5 lb (92 kg). By the end of the month he weighs about 210 pounds (95.5 kg), an increase of about 24.5 pounds (about 11 kg). Because he could only eat McDonald's food for a month, Spurlock refused to take any medication at all. At one weigh-in Morgan actually lost 1 lb. from the previous weigh-in much to the surprise of those supervising, but it was hypothesized by a nutritionist that he lost muscle, which weighs more than an identical volume of fat. Spurlock's girlfriend, Alexandra Jamieson, attests to the fact that Spurlock has lost much of his energy and sex drive during his experiment. It was not clear at the time if Spurlock would be able to complete the full month of the high-fat, high-carbohydrate diet, and friends and family began to express worry. In Day 21, Spurlock had heart palpitations. Consultation with his concerned internist, Dr. Daryl Isaacs advises him to stop what he is doing immediately to avoid any serious health problems. He compares Spurlock with the protagonist in the movie Leaving Spurlock makes it to day 30 and achieves his goal. In thirty days, he "Supersized" his meals nine times along the way (five of which were in Findings Text at the conclusion of the movie states that it took Spurlock nine months to lose 20 pounds (9 kg) and another five months to return to his original weight. His girlfriend Alexandra Jamieson, a vegan chef (not a dietitian or medical doctor), began supervising his recovery with her "detox diet," which became the basis for her book, entitled The Great American Detox Diet. Alongside Spurlock's personal travails are interviews and sections detailing various factors that could account for the high obesity rates in the "The bottom line, they're a business, no matter what they say, and by selling you unhealthy food, they make millions, and no company wants to stop doing that." The movie ends with a rhetorical question, "Who do you want to see go first, you or them?" with a cartoon tombstone for Ronald McDonald ("1954-2012") as a backdrop. The cartoon of the tombstone originated in The Economist where it appeared in an article addressing the ethics of marketing toward children. In the DVD release of the movie, a short epilogue was added about McDonald's discontinuation of the "Super Size" option, as well as its recent emphasis of healthier menu items such as salads. It is shown that these can contain even more calories than hamburgers, if the customer piles cheese and dressing on them. Reaction The film opened in the Criticism Critics of the film, such as McDonald's, argue that the author intentionally consumed an average of 5,000 kcal per day and did not exercise, and that the results would have been the same regardless of the source of the overeating. The film addresses such objections by highlighting that a part of the reason for Spurlock's deteriorating health was not just the high calorie intake but also the high quantity of fat relative to vitamins and minerals in the McDonald's menu, which is similar in that regard to the nutritional content of the menus of most other About 1/3 of his calories came from sugar. His nutritionist, Spurlock claimed he was trying to imitate what an average diet for a regular eater at McDonald's, for a person who would get little to no exercise, would do to them. It is possible that 5,000 kcal per day is an average diet for a typical consumer of McDonald's or any other fast food source, despite the fact that the average adult male only requires 2,000 kcal per day. However, it is unlikely that many McDonald's customers eat there three times per day. Morgan said that he was eating in thirty days the amount of fast food most nutritionists suggest someone should eat in eight years. Spurlock did theorize during the course of the film, however, that the average McDonald's consumer likely wasn't eating other, healthier foods in the interim. Impact Subsequent to the showing of the film at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival, the Super Size fries and beverage were retired from the menu and McDonald's replaced them with healthier foods, though McDonald's denied that this was in reaction to the movie.[citation needed] In Summer 2006, Super Size beverage was brought back under the name 'Summer Size', but only for a limited time. The corporation did, however, issue a press release on their website, denouncing Spurlock's film and blaming the filmmaker for being a part of the problem, and not the solution. Morgan also mentions in the documentary that despite the addition of healthier options around the same time, McDonald's also added the McGriddle breakfast sandwich to their menu; Morgan called it one of the most unhealthy sandwiches they've ever made, saying it has more fat than the Big Mac and more sugar than their pack of cookies. The film received the highest-ever opening for a documentary in In recent years however, at least some McDonald's outlets in In the In April 2006, when British newspaper The Guardian distributed a free DVD of the film, McDonald's placed a full-page advertisement on the back, which included a telephone number for complaints. This movie's creation gave Spurlock an idea: a show entitled 30 Days, which now airs on the American channel FX, British channel More 4, and formerly on Australian Network Ten. Alternative experiments Various similar experiments were made in response to Super Size Me, in an effort to provide alternative scenarios or refute the impressions made by the film. These experiments, however, were mainly balanced diets and healthy eating programs, capable of demonstrating that it is possible to eat from the McDonald's menu without upsetting one's health. At the same time, Super Size Me and these similar experiments fall short of illustrating the healthiness of a typical McDonald's consumer's choice (the quintessential "burger, Coke and fries" meal). Alternate studies do not address the alterations that occurred to Spurlock's blood chemistry, but Super Size Me did not show that this was a special characteristic of fast-food diets, and not high-calorie diets in general or the lack of exercise. Note that Spurlock's original intention was to show that a typical American's food intake at McDonald's was unhealthy, not whether if it was possible to have a healthy meal at McDonald's. • At Link?ping University Swedish scientist Fredrik Nystr?m repeated the experiment under laboratory conditions, raising the calorie intake by fast food to 6000 kcal per day for seven of his students. Physical exercise was discouraged; participants in the study were even issued free bus passes in the hopes that they would not walk even short distances. The calories also did not have to come exclusively from fast food per se, as long as most of the calories still came in the form of saturated fats. Students who fell short of their intake were given high-calorie shakes at bedtime. The results of the experiment were different than those in Spurlock's film. While the participants gained 5-15% extra weight during the study, and complained of feeling "tired and bloated", no mood swings were observed. "Significant" changes in the participants' livers were observed: "Eleven of the 18 volunteers persistently showed ALT above reference limits indicating liver damage" . However, Nystr?m noted that these changes were "never even close to dangerous". Nystr?m ultimately decided that individual variations in metabolism could have a massive effect on a subject's response to such a diet. He also conjectured that Spurlock's apparently extreme reaction to his own experiment might have been due to undiagnosed liver problems, or his partially vegan diet, which rendered his metabolism ill-suited to deal with a diet that high in carbohydrates and saturated fat. • In • • Professor James Painter, chair of • Keiji Matsumoto, a civilian in • "The Smoking Fry" Spurlock also filmed another demonstration which he called "The Smoking Fry." It can be seen in the special features of the film's DVD. In this demonstration, he leaves McDonald's food (an order of French Fries, a Big Mac, a Filet-O-Fish, a Chicken McGrill, and a Quarter Pounder with cheese) along with a burger and fries from a "slow food" type of restaurant in jars in order to see the rate at which the different meals decomposed, and implies that the same is done when the food is consumed. The burger and fries from the alternate restaurant decomposed quickly, as did most of the McDonald's food, with the exception of the Big Mac and the McDonald's french fries. The Big Mac lasted five weeks, after 10 weeks the documentary claims that the fries still had not begun to decompose and were thrown out by an intern due to the smell of the McSandwiches, but according to an unrelated experiment, broadcasted on YouTube presented by Diet.com, a woman saved four-year old McDonald's french fries that had not started to decompose Criticism A likely explanation for the lack of decomposition in the McDonald's french fries compared to the fries from the "slow food" restaurant has to do with the moisture content of the two samples. When deep fried, food loses a portion of its moisture content. McDonald's fries are thin cut, whereas the sample from the alternative restaurant were thick-cut steak fries. More surface area will be exposed in the McDonald's fries compared to the thick-cut fries. This will result in the thin-cut fries retaining less overall moisture compared to the thick-cut fries. Molding and decomposition can occur only with sufficient water content, therefore, explaining the discrepancy in the two fry samples. This is the same process involved in other food products with long shelf lives. Dried fruit is resistant to the relatively quick spoilage of fresh fruit. Honey's low water content also prevents the growth of spoiling micro-organisms http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Size_Me
