I'm willing to believe Spurlock's hypothesis ... but someday I'd like to see a well-researched documentary as lively as this one on the harmful effects of pseudo-science in the media.

The 'What Would Jesus Buy?' project, broader than digestion issues, is the brainchild of Morgan Spurlock, who in a less spiritual frame of mind, lost the junk food battle of the bulge against McDonald's with this high calorie investigative documentary.

Underscores the need for individuals to take responsibility for their own health, and it does so in a frequently humorous and self-deprecating way. Plenty of food for thought.

Morgan Spurlock logra con este documental graficar un punto que insistimos en olvidar: este tipo de comida procesada es mala para la salud. No sólo mala, pésima.

It’s rare the film that changes someone’s life; Super Size Me may indeed change many.

...it's unfortunate that the place of pride belongs to Spurlock's self-mortification.

Spurlock’s adventure in not-so-fine dining may be extreme, but it makes its point in a shocking way...

One of only a handful of select films that I can recall as being as important as it is entertaining.

Instead of making a calm, reasonable case, Spurlock dazzles us with sensational details. [But] most of his arguments are properly persuasive.

It goes several extra miles to interview nutritionists, educators and media experts about the epidemic of obesity.
