Super Size Me came out in 2004 and was directed by Morgan Spurlock. It followed Spurlock as he ate only McDonald’s food for thirty days to see what it would do to his body. By the end, he had gained weight, felt constantly tired, and saw his cholesterol shoot up. The movie hit a nerve and made people rethink fast food. McDonald’s quickly dropped its “Super Size” option and started adding salads and calorie counts to its menus. It forced the food industry to be more transparent and got people talking about health, portion sizes, and what they were really eating.
