Would you like to Super Size that?

The documentary Super size me really opened my eyes about fast food and about my diet. What really got to me was how much eating Mcdonald's can affect your liver. They compared binge eating at Mcdonalds to be as bad as binge drinking which I didn't think was even comparable. It definetly made me double think if I want that McChicken or that Big Mac. I would think someone would make a documentary like this to make a powerful point and take action instead of just stating facts. I believe Morgan was bias towards McDonald's in his documentary. I saw this because through out the movie he would crack a joke every now and then and give a fact about McDonald's food. Also, he portrayed McDonald's as the villian and didn't mention the good things Mcdonald's does and how they give back to the community.

I feel as if I'm not that much of a wasteful person, but I guess I am a wasteful person. My reflection showed that to support my lifestyle there would need to be 4.5 earths, which was pretty shocking to me. Now that I think about it I really do buy much more than I need. Like for example I still have shoes in the boxes never opened and clothes with tags still on them just hanging there in the closet. Really brands aren't that important to me, but it also depends on what I'm looking for. When it comes to advertisements I'm never really persuaded because I'm not focused and zoned out most of the time. I think one thing I could change to make peace with the earth is not buy different types of the same thing and fix things that are broken.

When I was younger their where positive and negative writing experiences for me. I think that shaped the reader I am today. Well, let's start off with the positive experiences, all I can remember that in the beginning it was easy and later down the road it started to get a little rocky. By the time we were closing in grade school and starting middle school, the reading began to get a little longer and little harder. So as my peers progressed forward I began to pull back, since I wasnt able to keep up, and ever since then I've been trying to catch up.
