We hear about news that in order to gain more profit, many fast food restaurants give their customers some discount or do other tricks to attract them. What’s more, because buying food from fast food restaurants is so convenient and quick, and some foods are tasty that many people like to have fast food for their meals.
There is a famous film called: Super Size Me, which was released in 2004. Young filmmaker Morgan Spurlock boldly carried out an experiment with his body: for 30 days, he took his meals—breakfast, lunch and dinner, no exception, at McDonald’s. And he directed and recorded his horror story. Morgan Spurlock’s object was to prove the physical and mental effects of consuming fast food. Before beginning shooting the film, Spurlock went to see three doctors to have some examination, showing that he was a man with the healthy body and mind. But after eating hamburgers and fries (5000 calories a day) for 30 days, a tragedy came up. Let me make a list:
1. He gained 11.1 kg.
2. His knees ached for his increase of weight.
3. He got stomachache.
4. His cholesterol index number “shot up”.
5. His GOT and GPT rose.
6. His girlfriend argued with him.
This alarming information tells us: having too much fast food will ruin your health. Spurlock spend one year time trying to restore to his originally body weight but in vain. Afterwards, McDonald’s changed menu instantly, adding salads and ending super sizing meals, but did not admit to being influenced by Spurlock's film.

Moreover, fast food restaurants were confronted with a second strike. There was another movie: Fast Food Nation, which describes that fast food have the unhealthy influence on society and individuals.
But I think that we do not have to quit ourselves eating fast food, we can still have the delights of chatting and eating with friend in the fast food restaurant. What we need to remember is not having too much fast food!
