Spurlock's documentary effectively identified the problem and proposed a solution. He presented tons of supportive evidence about how and why Americans are obese (sugary, fatty foods and drinks in school cafeterias, lack of nutrition facts in fast food restaurants, enticing advertisements, etc...) Spurlock's solution to reduce obesity in Americans starts in school cafeterias nationwide. If healthier food options were presented to students, and unhealthy drinks and meals were eliminated, students would start learning healthy habits at a young age, reducing the chances of them becoming obese. Supersize Me was a well made, virtually unbiased documentary, and the sources interviewed were credible. Spurlock presented the facts about the harmful effects of McDonalds in a rational manner, but the artistic genius of the documentary was obviously creating negative (and sometimes creepy) imagery to help push Spurlock's point home.
