First film from documentarian Morgan Spurlock, Best Director (Documentary) winner at Sundance and nominated for Best Documentary at the 2005 Oscars. In the film, Spurlock subjects himself to a stomach-tightening diet: solely eating food from McDonalds three times a day for 30 days without exercising. As his physical and mental well-being deteriorates, he tours America examining the causes of his nation's ever-expanding gut.

"While not the all-encompassing, hard-facts indictment Fast Food Nation readers might hope for, this more entertainment-oriented package does throw in enough disturbing figures and informative side trips to provide an educational-value meal."
Variety"None of this tells you anything you didn't already know, but it's consistently amusing and often disgusting."
Time Out"An entertaining, and occasionally horrifying, statement of the obvious."
The New York Times"Allegedly inspired McDonald's to discontinue its 'super size' promotions as a preemptive measure."
Roger Ebert"Consumption will lead to possible nausea and certain amusement."
