The chapter 2 in fast food nation book mainly focuses on how Fast Food Company has applied profitable method of advertising and its impact on children. For instance, McDonald only has spent 1.4 billion dollars on advertisement, moreover they have provided playground within the restaurant premises and to allure more children they have even provided them toys with the happy meals. Because of large advertisement from fast food Company, they have made children often recognize a brand logo before they can recognize their own name. It says how far the McDonald has gone promoting itself as a “Trusted Friend” saying they care about customers’ well being.

The movie “Super-size me” that we watched in the class was so incredible movie which successfully
proved the causes of obesity and diabetics which are the leading problems of America. The movie was mainly focused on displaying how eating fast food’s meal can lead to serious health problem. It has also brought the issue of fast food restaurant  alluring the customer to eat bigger size. Moreover the movie says how hard McDonald has made people to get away from them as they are located in almost every three blocks. The movies also mentions how fast food has become incorporated in many public schools, shopping mall and even with the hospitals.To prove how damage fast food can do to our health, the movie director Morgan Spurlock does an experiment eating McDonald’s food for a month. Before doing so he gets his health checked up and he finds himself healthy. But after 30 days he gains his weight from 185 to 210, cholesterol level goes up and total body fat increase from 11% to18%.With all these reasons, the main motivation of this movie is to tell us whether we still want to stick with fast food or stop eating it.
