Personal Response Essay:
Did watching “Super-Size Me” make you want to change your eating habits? In
the space below please explain & support your answer using facts &
information from the video.
“Super-Size Me” did not make me change my eating habits. I eat fast food once
every week, and I eat a usually healthy-balanced diet. This video helped me see
that eating fast food every day can have many negative effects on the individual,
such as weight gain, from seeing Morgan gaining 25 pounds. I think this video
would encourage me to eat fast food once in a while and mostly homemade and
scratch meals almost every day that contain all the food groups. It is good to eat
out once in a while if you eat a balanced-healthy diet and exercise regularly.
