''Super Size Me'' is a 2004 [[documentary]] made by Morgan Spurlock, which follows him as he attempts an experiment to only eat [[McDonald's]] food for 30 straight days.
This experiment is used as a framing sequence as Morgan takes a cross-country look at the various facets of fast-food culture in the United States, including its effects on the human body over a sustained period of time, diehard fast-food fans, the use of processed food in the American public school system, and the impact of fast-food on American society and business.

* [[Big Eater]]: Shows the consequences of such.
* [[Captain Obvious Aesop]]: 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.
* [[Deep
* [[Do Not Do This Cool Thing]]: 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.
* [[Documentary of Lies]]: Even leaving aside the arguable point of it being McDonalds' fault that people choose to eat too much of their food and get fat, various doctors and nutritionists have pointed out that the weight gain and health effects Spurlock claims to have experienced are simply not possible from what and how much he was eating. The math just doesn't add up.
* [[Fan Boy]]: Spurlock visits a Big Mac fanboy who achieved notoriety for eating at least one Big Mac a day for well over a decade. In contrast to the film's message, it shows that the fanboy is actually in perfect health.
* [[Last Supper Steal]]: One segment is a painting that shows grotesque caricatures of various fast food mascots set up like "The Last Supper".
