Publisher Description

Don’t eat this groundbreaking, hilarious book—but if you care about your country’s health, your children’s, and your own, you better read it.

For thirty days, Morgan Spurlock ate nothing but McDonald’s as part of an investigation into the effects of fast food on American health. The resulting documentary earned him an Academy Award nomination and broke box-office records worldwide.

But there’s more to the story, and in Don’t Eat This Book, Spurlock examines everything from school lunch programs and the marketing of fast food to the decline of physical education. He looks at why fast food is so tasty, cheap, and ultimately seductive—and interviews experts from surgeons general and kids to marketing gurus and lawmakers, who share their research and opinions on what we can do to offset a health crisis of supersized proportions.

"A little rough and in your face reading at first. I got used to it and was able to enjoy the information the author was trying to write about. Excellent way to open eyes to our world of food. If you don't want to read this...see the movie Food, Inc. Much of Morgan's info is in this movie too. "

    " This is a blend of Fast Food Nation and the movie Super Size Me. There is not really any new information. It is exactly what you would expect from this sort of book/topic. It is still an entertaining read and has more of a sense of humor than either the movie or Fast Food Nation. "
