NEW DOCS

When Morgan Spurlock embarks on a quest to eat three meals a day at McDonald’s for 30 days, he expects to gain weight. But is he prepared for what his doctors will find as they monitor the changes in his body? And will his relationship with his girlfriend—a vegan chef—survive the McDiet? Why anyone would do this to himself may never be completely clear to you, but Morgan Spurlock has suffered so no one else has to! This is a funny movie about a serious problem—America’s obesity epidemic and the economic interests that feed it. For God’s sake, make children watch this before it’s too late! And be forewarned about one graphic discussion of the effect of a high-fat diet on Morgan’s sex life.  AT
