Movie Review
Grade: B+
I like to eat. I like to eat fast food. I like to eat pizza. I like to drink soda. I sure as hell don't give into all these diet fads. Still, when a movie makes me feel guilty and self conscious about what I'm putting in my body, that's a big deal. Read the full movie review

Great film. Enjoyed it immensely. One of the best documentaries out there that is also entertaining. It is a wake up call for all of us not eating right. Some say it's an attack against McDonald's - but I see it more as a wake up to me - to make healthier choices... And often McDonald's does not offer that. However, now when I go I choose not to have the fries or not to have the super sized soda. I still like my burgers, but have to be sensible.
