'''''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.
# For 30 days, he can't eat or drink anything that isn't on a McDonald's menu.
# He must eat three meals a day -- breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
