每天吃麥當勞的結果是什麼？

作者親身經歷道出自己三十天來只吃麥當勞食品,什麼也不吃.他的此舉不僅自己拍成紀錄片《胖麥報告》（Super Size）,紀錄他吃麥當勞的每天體型和精神的變化,甚至一舉拿下"最佳紀錄片"的獎項殊榮.
此書所探討的正是"速食食品"對我們健康的影響.



Morgan Spurlock tried to do just that. For thirty days, he ate nothing but McDonald's as part of an investigation into the effects of fast food on American health. The resulting documentary earned him an Academy Award nomination and a worldwide release that broke box-office records. But there is much more to this story than Spurlock's good-humored "McSickness." In Don't Eat This Book, he examines what's happening across the country-in schools, hospitals,and homes-and explores school lunch programs, the marketing of fast food, and the sharp decline in emphasis on physical education. Spurlock looks at why fast food is so tasty. Cheap, and ultimately seductive, and what Americans can do to turn the rising tide of obesity, hypertension, and diabetes that have accompanied its ever-growing popularity. He interviews experts in twenty U.S. cities-from surgeons general and kids to lawmakers and marketing gurus-who share their researh, opinions, and "gut feelings" on our expanding girth and waht we can all do to offset a health crisis of supersized proportions. In this groundbreaking, Hilarious book, "benevolent muckracder" Spurlock debuts a wry, investigative voice that will not only appeal to readers of Michael Moore and Eric Schlosser but go far beyond, to anyone Interested in our country's health, our children's, and our own.
