W6 - SUPER SIZE ME


Fast food industry, the fastest industry to grow and gain profit well in this millennium. Fast food company, especially McDonald's is the fastest fast food company in the world to gain everything like profit, customer, market place and trust. Why McDonald's get trust from worldwide consumer? The answer is easy, through commercial and globalization that use from the company. From the trust, the company slowly affected by certain threats. For example, the law suits against McDonald's for making two teenage girl transform into overweight and obese. In the documentary movie, Super Size Me by Morgan Spurlock clearly give the details that fast food is not the main cause of the obesity in USA and worldwide. This writing will explain the perspective of this topic in terms of individual and society.



The individual is the main subject in this matter because of certain cause. For example, acceptance and mentality. When an individual starting to trigger the interest, that interest will become true certainly because of it is familiar with him/herself. When the interest becomes true, it will develop addiction. When it arrives at that level, it would be hard to find a way out of it. The particular individual has accept or adapt with the matters. Same goes with this issue. Move on to the mentality, it is certain that individuals has different thought about anything matters. But on this subject, it is clear that most of the respondent interviewed by Morgan was mentally strong with fast food. Their responds shows that they always eat fast food because of their mentality on fast food. The fast food was delicious, express, affordable and favourable to most of the people. This mentality yes was triggered by the fast food company, but why the individuals just so take it liberally? Peoples must change their mentality on fast food in order to avoid the obesity disease among them. In other words, individual must change their acceptance and mentality, especially on this matters.

The society also plays a vital role on this matter. Focusing on America, Morgan clearly states that the country is the most fattest country in the world with 100 million of people was overweight. 100 million is a massive number of statistics. Society has created an image of overweight people that they have. It is true that fast food industry has heavily influenced the society, but why it must take it liberally? Society could build a culture where the people are highly balanced. It could be done with weekly exercise and campaign for a healthy lifestyles. But, most of the society did not conducted that kind of practise. Again, mentality of the worldwide society that is so typical with fast food. Society must change the mentality to negative to positive side in this matter. Encourage other members of society to cook in the house, avoid highly fat and oil ingredients, use vegetable and less consuming on meat class. From this practise, the society can be back to normal and healthier than ever before. In conclusion, society must act drastically in this matters in the perspective of culture and mentality.

Yet again, the fast food industry was not the main cause of the obesity disease happens around the world. The cause was done by ourselves; the individuals who regularly to eat fast food and by the society in terms of culture. If we wanted to stay great and healthy with no matter blocks our way, it can be done by doing exercise and others. It is okay to consume the fast food, but bear in mind that we must not to take it constantly and do work out after eating the food. In that way, we could be great and enjoys anything around.
