graphic novel, It makes a great companion piece to the movie, The art makes the Ronald McDonaldesque rather grotesque and repulsive looking, especially for a clown, But, the message in the book is just as powerful as the movie, with some different anecdotes about fastfood and how thoroughly disgustingly bad for your body it is not to mention the gross out moments like animals parts in food or maggotfilled lettuce.
The last story in the book is rather nasty, but strikes a powerful note with those who inundate their bodies with greasy burgers and fries.
I knew this book was based on the documentary sitelinkSuper Size Me, which I haven't seen, but I didn't realize that this is nonfiction! Part of the book chronicles Morgan Spurlock'sday experiment of eating fast food and only fast food three times a day.
The other part includes facts about fast food and horror stories from restaurants, as told to Spurlock by former employees and customers.


These sound like urban legends, but the stories are presented as true, I don't eat at any of the fast food chains often, but after reading this, I'm determined not to give in to the occasional Sausage McMuffin with egg, no cheese, ever again, or McDonald's strawberry banana smoothies even if they are cheaper than Starbucks, or Wendy's chili, or the rare Taco Bell crunchy taco.


But wait! Don't think these stories are limited to fast food places that have a drivethru which I always thought wasn't spelled right.
I won't name names because the book doesn't, but think places in which the servers wear lots of buttons on their suspenders.
The featured customer wasn't thanking God after his meal, I'm sure, Just ugh. If you have seen super size me, then you dont need to read this, The only thing interesting, really, was to find out that even the grilled chicken is unhealthy as its I ejected with sugar and salts.
. terrible. All fast food chains are franchise of hell, the short novel sumarise the movie Super size me and as a bonus adds some disgusting urban legends about fast food, Rats are included too. The sad thing is that this book has point and it is sort of you should read, Wow, Morgan Spurlock has really pimped out this ordeal! While that's not necessarily a bad thing, I didn't really care for this manifestation.
Portions of the book recount Spurlock'sdays of fast food feasting complete with Morgan in comic form and consultations with scientists that are featured in the movie.
However, the main "narrator" is an obese Ronald McDonald who seeks to patronizingly gross out young readers with fast food horror stories.
I think the scientific sections are convincing on their own and offer thoughtprovoking facts that will invite young adults to question eating at fast food and chain restaurants.
The gross stories don't seem to match the rationality of the other bits and just, . . feel off. I'd be offended as a teenager reading the book that the publisher feels I have to gag in order to get the point.
I just happened upon this while checking out Hoopla Digital and decided to try it, because I enjoyed Spurlocks documentary and love books like Slaughterhouse and Fast Food Nation.
Well, this surprised me in that it was a mix of horror and comedy, but with a very real PSA about the dangers of processed foods and modern factory farms.
The stories are at once wildly entertaining, humorously drawn and horrifying, The character “Ronald McDopey” is drawn as an obese caricature version of the original caricature clown, Ronald McDonald, A fun read if you enjoy graphic books, or even for vegans who need some material to make them feel really, really ridiculously good about their choices.
stars! It was supposed to gross you out and make you think twice about eating fast food, . . mission accomplished. I'm not sure the world really needed this is graphic novel format, . . but hey, if people want to read it I'm happy to provide it, sitelinkClick to see book in BCPL's online catalog Just some crazy stories about strange findings that are kinda disgusting but okay, but otherwise same details from the movie, Supersize Me but it's enjoyable.
A 'behind the arches' look at disturbing stories connected to this iconic symbol of 'Americanism', Done loosely in the format of an E, C.'s horror book before the CCA the stories are 'caught' in a web and connected by a 'thread' concept, The stories are both separate and interconnected sadly this is now an almost lost form of comic book narrative, This was pretty gross. It's kind of a recap of the documentary Supersize Me, Not terrible and will probably keep me away from fast food for a while, I find it funny how I bought this book ten years ago and I only just sat down to read it, I enjoyed the backstories of other fastfood cultures from different people's perspectives, but because the book is so short, it's almost a retelling of the documentary Super Size Me.
I'm very happy to finally read this book and hope to finally dust off other books on my shelf that have been waiting to be read for years! Good presentation of the film interspersed with gross frontline anecdotes and facts about the fast food industry.
Nothing especially surprising if you've worked in food service, but this would be a good book to give kids to explain why you shouldn't eat it.
