Super Size Me

I used some scenes from Super Size Me with my English for Marketing class. It's a Michael Moore-style documentary about an American, Morgan Spurlock, who eats nothing but McDonald's food for one month to see what effect such a diet will have on his health. No prizes for guessing the outcome! This film is an excellent discussion starter about junk food, obesity and the role of marketing. Who is to blame? What are the limits of personal responsibility? In our next session, we're having a debate on the topic, "Should the government introduce a ban on advertising junk food to children?" The ESC Le Havre is a business school, so I would expect opinions to be divided.
