Abstract
"Super Size Me", rather than being a straightforward example of debauchery, is an allegory for the desperate need to change personal nutrition in America. Morgan Spurlock challenges the limits of obscenity in making "Super Size Me", in which he goes on a thirty day "adventure", eating only McDonald's food and recording the tolls it takes on his body. Yet this movie's purpose is not for the reader to sneer and laugh at the obese, there is a bigger point. Morgan Spurlock tries to depict the average consumer as innocent, while targeting corporations in his quest to prove them guilty. He created an ingenious movie, filled with many obvious and some not so obvious claims to why America is overweight, but there is a flaw in his reasoning. American diets, as "Super Size Me" claims, are destroyed by a luring corporate America, yet what Mr. Spurlock doesn't realize is that the individual is more responsible for his own diet than the corporations are. He takes away from the importance of individuality by rendering many people he interviews as helpless and manipulated by corporations. He even manages to contradict himself on many occasions, making the purpose of the movie very unclear.
