I'm Lovin' it.

The idea of personal responsibility, to cooperate responsibility, to government responsibility, is a hard barrier to decipher between, especially when it comes to fast food. The video Super Size Me, very clearly shows this controversy. Super Size Me shows the personal responsibility side of things, showing how the diet of McDonalds, which some Americans follow all to regularly, can be brutal to the heath of an average person. Cooperate responsibility is talked about in the movie, but not in a good way, saying how the McDonalds cooperation, just like any other cooperation’s, goal is to make money in whatever way possible, even if it is unhealthy for the consumer. In my opinion, government should come in to the picture to make companies advertise the things there product can do to the consumer, because as of now, as we see in the movie, it is hard to even get the nutrition facts of a McDonalds restaurant. Government responsibility, however, should end there, it is then up to the individual to know the facts and make the choice. More people then just McDonalds were not to thrilled about the movie Super Size Me, however. “Nobody I know and believe lives can eat and afford to eat only McDonalds food, and if they can and do, they are ignorant and I don't believe responsible so their views shouldn’t be believed as accurate. My brother and me eat McDonalds, and we are definitely not fat, neither is my Dad or Mom. Again I am ashamed that people have such narrow-minded views concerning the fast food industry. It should be left up to the consumer to exercise and stay healthy, no one makes them eat at McDonalds.” On those points, there is the debate of different life styles, people that are on the go all the time, and have no time for anything other then fast food, lower income families that can go to fast food places for a cheaper meal. There is also the point that much of the point of the movie is not just fast food, it is the debate over government, cooperation, and personal responsibility, the movie could have been based around smoking, everyone knows its bad, and yet people continue to smoke. The facts are out there for smoking, and awareness is raised, but people enjoy it and can’t seem to quit. The movie Super Size Me, in my opinion, has a good message at the end that the responsibility of the individual can’t always be trusted, regulations need to be there, and many times, they are not.
