Charts Analysis: In Pizza Hut the difference between healthy choice foods and poor choice foods was big. In Pizza Hut the caloric difference was 850 calories. In the poor choice meal it was almost 3 times as more calories than in the healthy choice meal. The difference in fat grams at Pizza Hut is 28 grams. In the sugar chart there was 105 gram difference. That’s about 8 times more than the healthy choice. In sodium there was 1420 milligrams of salt. If Fast Food never existed in the USA today we would be healthier people and obesity would probably not exist. Almost every poor choice meal was double or over the amount that we need.

Reflection: 1. Mr, Spurlock goes to several McDonald's resturants in search of posters and handouts with nutritional information and discovers they are difficult to read or not available at all why? The workers at McDonalds might not want to loose custormers because they dont want them to see how bad the food really is. 2. What changes did Morgan Spurlock go through during his McDonald-ization(Physically, emotionally, and socialy)? He gained almost 20 punds in a short period of time which isnt healthy. He started to feel depressed, when he was done eating food from McDonalds he wanted more even though he was full. 3. The film discussed protion sizes and servings sizes. What are sensible portions verses supersize portions? How have portion sizes changed over time? They have changed because the original small size at McDonalds is now the childrens size and then they upgraded to the larger sizes. Sensible protions shoud be only what you can eat not what you want to eat. You shouldn't have to stuff yourself. 4. The film discussed school linch programs and " a box cutter as a chef's tool", as well as natural foods and the effect on students of an alternate school. Discuss the major points in the film that surround these ideas. What recommendations can you make to improve the school lunch at our school? The school lunches at any school is probably frozen and unhealthy to be eating everyday. Most schoool obesity ion children comes from fast food and school lunches. we can improve our lunches by buying organic foods or even make the food before hand.
