It’s been two and a half months I’ m in this class I fell like my knowledge has been increased at the most. Since I got in this class I‘ve learned a lot about organic food and how to eat healthy. I’ve learned the impact that agriculture has in our environment that I could never imagine and that politics play an important role in it. Furthermore I learned new ways of research. From my research paper I’ve learned what is really behind in the meat corporations, how animal are treated and what are the consequences to us, who those meats. In addition, I’ve learned that I must never eat fast food again especially MacDonald’s. However, most of the time I was late in other classes, in this class I’ve learned how to be on time.

SUPERSIZE ME



The movie super size me shoes how fast food restaurants affect our planet. Thousands of people every day eat from those restaurants; being unconscious of what the consequences of eating fast food are. According the movie, 46,000 people eat daily from McDonalds in US; can you imagine how many are in total if we include all fast food restaurants all over the world? In fast food restaurants, they only served what we call non-organic food, which causes obesity that can cause health problems, and sometimes even deaths. Morgan Spurlock supports that obesity has similar rate of deaths with smoking, but pretty much everybody knows that smoking is bad for your health. On the other hand, people do not know what obesity what obesity can cause. Obesity can cause many diseases, such heart diseases, cancer and many other chronic diseases. In addition, a bad diet can cause depression and stomach ages. Many people do not know what a bad diet can really cause in the inside of the body, the immune system. For example, in the movie, we see how Morgan Spurlock’s health changes; from eating McDonalds every day for one month.
However, fast food companies,”force” consumers to eat fast food, by perfect commercials, cheap and tasty food. Especially, MacDonald’s in almost every store they have place for the kids to play and little gift in every happy meal, in order to attract the attention of the kids. Moreover, people, who eat fast food often, become addicted to it. I believe that people should be more concern about their diet, because it is very important in everyone’s health, and all governments around the world should find a way to face the danger that’s called MacDonald.
