Super Size Me is a movie based on Morgan Spurlock, who stars and directs the movie, and his journey to eat strictly McDonald’s. This movie was created in 2004 before large amounts of intensive research were conducted pertaining to the health of McDonald’s foods. Spurlock decides to challenge himself to eat each item on the McDonald’s menu at least once for a month, and only McDonalds-no exceptions. He devoted 30 days of his life to this “Super-Size” challenge, to study what the effects of eating McDonalds (or fast food in general) were.

The first doctor to conduct the bodily function test on Spurlock stated that his blood tests were “excellent”, his cholesterol level was 168, his kidney and liver function were “perfect.”

The Judge in the lawsuit case, Judge Robert Sweet referred the processed of the chicken nuggets as
