SUPER SIZE ME
Presented by Christine Morrissey
East Bay Animal Advocates

925-487-4419
Why are Americans so fat? Find out in this funny film, a tongue
in-cheek and burger-in-hand look at the physical, legal, and
financial costs of Americas hunger for fast food. Ominously,
37% of American children and adolescents are carrying too much
fat and two out of every three adults are overweight or obese.
Is it our fault for lacking self-control or are the fast-food
corporations to blame? Filmmaker Morgan Spurlock hit the road
and interviewed experts in twenty U.S. cities, including Houston,
the Fattest City in America. From Surgeon Generals to gym teachers,
cooks to kids, lawmakers to legislators, these authorities shared
their research, opinions, and gut feelings on our ever-expanding
girth. During the journey, Spurlock also put his own body on
the line and lived on nothing but McDonald s for an entire month.
It all adds up to a fat food bill, harrowing visits to the doctor,
and compelling viewing for anyone whos ever wondered if man
could liveon fast food alone. http://www.supersizeme.com
Before and after the film, everyone's invited to
indulge in our Humanist Coffee House
$5 donations are accepted
