Super Size Me, first short reflection

After watching the movie Super Size Me I realized that I did not learn anything new regarding a harm of the fast food. It did not change my mind about it, because I strongly agree with the message of this movie. However it proved and provided good examples of how media controls our life and make us change and adapt to the boundaries it sets. I think that the companies like McDonalds have control over its customers. I think that nutrition facts of its products are not that important compared to the ways how it advertises and sells them. I also do not agree that it is the right thing to sue McDonalds because their food is unhealthy. Rather it would be more useful and fair to charge McDonalds of being a monopoly and to limit their media campaign.

Alex - you will need to revise this before the next blog period. You did not follow directions. Review your homework for this on blackboard. You were to analyze two reviews on the film. One link was provided to you by email (NPR), the other was the New York times article.
