Because not everybody watched this film and was tempted to eat Mc Donalds, it seems fair to put it here.
Added DiffLines:
* DoNotDoThisCoolThing: Watching this film can give you a serious craving for your favorite [=McDonald's=] menu item, though other parts of the film, such as Spurlock vomiting a Super-Sized meal out of his car door, might spoil your appetite.

Added line(s) 6 (click to see context) :
* CaptainObviousAesop: Fast food is bad for your health. The film admits that everyone already knows that, but attempts to show that it's worse than you might think. The doctor at the beginning says that he expects Spurlock to gain some weight, but after a few weeks is begging him to stop the experiment for his own safety. The experiment as a whole just glues together a larger message about making smart food choices.

* SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped: While there's no real denying that this is a bit of a CaptainObviousAesop (excessive fast food is harmful to your health? ''Really''?), a case can be made for this; the movie does spend a bit of time pointing out the reasons ''why'' this is the case, some of which are not entirely what you'd expect.

** Also, the movie goes into detail on related problems, such as the relative lack of heatlhy food in school cafeterias (or the ease with which a student can have a lunch consisting of, say, an entire tray of french fries), or the difficulty that someone living in the city might have with actually buying significant quantities of healthy food if they can't afford to travel far or lack much free time outside of work.
