1.What is the message of Spurlock's documentary?
That Americans are becoming more obese due to their desires for fast food.

2. Do you agree with Morgan's point of view??

Mr. Spurlock made 2 major mistakes with his experiment. First, he changed 2 variables: sudden radical changes to his diet AND his activity level. The lack of exercise may have contributed more to his weight gain. Another problem is how extreme he was in consuming McDonald food three meals a day. Most, if not all, McDonald customers don't eat McDonald's food three times a day. This leads me to believe that his point of view is skewed.

3.What did Morgan do to make his documentary convincing?

Use himself as the lab rat.

4.Would you use yorself as a guinea pig tp prove the danger of somthing?

I don't think I have much of a choice. To conduct any experiment on a human being, especially to prove harmful effects, one would need a medical license and FDA approval. The only way to do the experiment without a license and government agency approval is to conduct it on yourself. I personally would never do it.

5. Do you like documentrary?why?

Documentaries are good if the producer can remain objective to the contents she is reporting. They are useful in providing us with details, challenging our thoughts, and in most cases, changing our perceptions toward the topic of interest. But given that bias exists within our genes, it is quite difficult for the producers to separate their own bias from reality. Their beliefs may lead them into documenting only a portion of the truth. Therefore, I do like well-produced and unbiased documentaries.

6.Did Morgan Spurlock deserve the Director Award he got for it?

Yes for the efforts that he had put in and for the creativity but no because the experiment is highly questionable.

7. what do you think of fast food after watching this documentrary?
The movie did little to change my perceptions toward fast food. Like everything else in life, I believe that moderation is the key. It is okay to enjoy fast food as long as there is moderation in consumption.
