If You Haven’t Had Your Fill of McDonald’s Yet, Try ‘Super Size Me’

Super Size Me Movie Poster

If you haven’t had your fill of McDonald’s from reading about my craving for McDonald’s Paneer Salsa Wrap, you should have a look at Morgan Spurlock’s award-winning documentary film ‘Super Size Me’ (via Medea’s comment on my post).

Spurlock’s film follows a 30-day time period (in February 2003) during which he eats three meals a day from McDonald’s, Super Sizes his meal whenever offered, gives up exercise, gains 11 kg in body weight and experiences mood swings, sexual dysfunction, and possibly permanent liver damage.

Spurlock intersperse his personal travails with discussions on how fast food chains contribute to the high obesity rates in the United States, especially amongst children.

The documentary created a huge amount of controversy, won an Oscar nomination and several awards, and grossed $28.5mn worldwide, making it the 7th highest grossing documentary film of all time.

Given the similarities between Spurlock’s experiment and mine, I should probably target a multi-million dollar movie deal, apart from the book deal. :-)

I’m totally fascinated by the ecosystem of counter-experiments spawned by ‘Super Size Me’, and it will be worthwhile to spend a few days researching it.

My Insatiable Craving For McDonald’s Paneer Salsa Wrap

McDonald's Paneer Salsa Wrap

I have a confession to make.

I have an insatiable craving for McDonald’s Paneer Salsa Wrap.

It hits me at the oddest times and places, more often than I would like to admit.

Sometimes, I’m running on Marine Drive and, suddenly, my stomach ties up into knots and all I can think of is a McDonald’s Paneer Salsa Wrap.

I have to stop, bend over, take a few deep breaths, look out over the sea towards Malabar Hills, wait for the craving to slowly subside.

Sometimes, when I can’t control the craving, I get into a taxi and go over to the McDonald’s outlet in Colaba and get myself one (or two) at 463 kCal apiece.

Sometimes, I’m kissing a woman and my mouth goes all wet and dribbley and all I can think of is a McDonald’s Paneer Salsa Wrap.

Some women notice, others don’t, but every time it happens, I know exactly what has triggered it.

Some women like wet kisses, others don’t, so, the reaction varies; I don’t think it has been a deal-breaker so far.
