Supersize me

The Movie, Super size me shows the very disturbing truth of what eating fast food can do to your body. Morgan eats at McDonald for 30 days every meal of the day and manages to gain 10% of his body weight in the first week. Doctors that were taking tests of Morgan had not idea of the effects of fast food could do in the such a short period of time. Morgans doctors said that he was potentially killing his liver and doing other damage to his body that is nonrecoverable. Plenty of people eat at McDonald regally but many have no idea what risk they put themselves in by eating there.

diet of america

Morgan Spurlock is one crazy dude, I go to Mcdonalds every once in a while but its only because its a bit expensive sometimes, I sure hope he made bank off this movie because the tab at McDonald's must have been just shy of a thousand. Not to mention the implicit cost to doing the experiment. Its a good thing he choose McDonald's and not something worst like Five Guys or Chipotle, Day 22 would have happened at day 18 I bet. As for some of the stats McDonald's has posted back then, think about now today 10 years later, Now it would be even worst because there are some many lose weight fast or stick to your every day diet but still lose weight regardless, the results would be horrifying. We can't help the fact that they exist and we can't help the fact that people are addicted to it who are way past gone. The only way we would be able to make a dent in the diet of America is to get rid of most fast food chains,or at least limit the number of restaurants in them, but since we are not going to do this ever the main key is self control. That is the sole thing you need to stay healthy even with all of the temptations we see everyday.

Supersize This






     In Morgan Sperlock's documentary Supersize Me he undergoes a 30 day diet change were all he could eat was McDonalds.  This is absolutely crazy and I recommend watching it if you haven't seen it.  The transformation his body makes is insane.  He gains about 10% of his own body weight in only a week.  He also goes to multiple doctors throughout this process and each one says the same thing, that if he doesn't stop his unhealthy high fat diet it will take a major impact on his health.  Despite his doctors' concerns he finishes the 30 day diet and it pretty much dying.  Too learn more, watch the documentary.

Supersize Me

"Super size me" is a documentary on the dangers of fast food eating. It is known that eating too much fast food is not good for your health but to what extent is unknown. Morgan Shurlock takes it upon himself to see what the human body can handle by going to the absolute extreme. He eats only McDonald's for 1 month. Evert meal 3 times a day. The results were stunning. He experienced extreme liver damage and was forced to stop because he was at risk of death. He also experienced depression that is simpler to that of an addiction. HE raised many points that healthy eating starts in the schools and the lunch that students receive can lead to future bad eating choices.

weight watchers....really?

The eight watchers commercial during the 2015 super bowl was the biggest mixed message I've seen yet. The main point of their ad was to advertise how good all this food looks and how you should eat all of it or at least eat what you think is good and hey by the way you should go on a diet. I don't want to tell them how to do their job but i don't think that showing the public really good food, based on appearance not nutritional facts, then expecting them to say no to all of it and go on a diet doesn't work. The only reason why i say this is because people who are already fat or at least getting there most of them don't have the discipline to just say no and go on a diet, if that fact where true then 60% of america wouldn't be over weight according to Super size me and other health sites. Not the best approach, maybe showing a world full of fat people,exaggerated of course like the movie Wall-e, then at the end just show the weight watchers logo would have been better.  

Superbowl Ads

Avocado from Mexico uses humor to help establish their protect as the best avocado available.  It shows that its product is the best available and the best pick for  your avocado needs. It subliminally shows that other products have issues, for example "off the field issues" is shown to make that product undesirable. So the next time you are in the mood for some guacamole, and need to run to the store to grab some avocado you see this brand and remember the commercial. Your mind remembers it because it is funny and you think to yourself that it is the best product and you buy it.The commercial also shows famous sportscasters with knowledge on the sports, specifically football in this commercial, so they must know what the best avocado is for you.
In my oppinion I think the Super Bowl was a very good game all the way around. All the calls were accurate and the game was fair. I really didn't not like a lot of the commercials. They were kind of boring and did not really catch my attention. But the end of the game is what really upset. Why would you thirw the ball on the 1 yard line. When you have one of the best HB in the league

As most of you may know Gatorade is the most chosen drink from athletes such as lebron James, to normal average joes. But what most people may not know about Gatorade is that awful for you to just drink on a regular day bases. Because of all the sodium(salt) that it contains. Gatorade contains the same amount of salt as 3 large McDonald's fries. Now don't get me wrong Gatorade is amazing drink if you are workout or playing a sport. But just to drink with like just regular meal is awful for your health

Deforce

What I learned from the movie Deforce


Detroit was the most industrious city in the world during the 1950s. When New York had to be bailed out Detroit had more jobs than it knew what to do with. And these jobs were good, thanks to henry fords livable wage model, workers could become part os the middle class by simply working on the assembly line. When Detroit started to decline in population was after the 1960's race riots. Jobs were moving south or even internationally and Detroit had little natural beauty like LA or New York. A class war began after the race riots between the wealthy white suburbs and the low income black city. Anyone with money moved out, leaving the city to low income individuals. The low income and mass unemployment in Detroit was the perfect breading ground for drug dealing. Drugs became a large part of the underground Detroit economy but violence also came with it. Decent people who just wanted to make a living honestly had fewer opportunities and incentives to stay in the city as crime increased. As time went on city resources decreased and taxes increased, leaving the already low income area to a path of self destruction. The time finally came in 2013 when the city of Detroit caught up to the amount of dept it had created and declared bank bankruptcy.

Superbowl commercial


The Super bowl is the most watched event in TV history and the real moneymaker for NFL executives and players. Companies pay top dollar to run a short pitch over the break of half time, time outs, and between quarters. No stops are left out when big money is on the line and companies choreograph their commercials down to the wire.  The expectation for high quality commercials has produced a great environment for Superbowl commercial to grow a brand. Super bowl commercials are always the most anticipated commercials of the years and with all the press in the world covering the super bowl, the commercials get tons of free publicity if they catch the eye of the viewers.

One of the most controversial super bowl commercial this year was the Fiat Blue Pill Ad. Though the erectile dysfunction (blue pill) ad is nothing new to being broadcasted alongside the male dominated sports, it was unusual for a car company to use the pill to show how there new car has increased in size.



Kim K Superbowl Ad



     This commerical was very interesting because it was Kim Kardashian talking about how T-Moblie allows her to post about her life.  When all she was doing in the ad was showing off her body.  This is funny because she is pretty much famous for no real reason other than being hot.  I don't think this was a good advertisment because after the commercial I wasn't even thinking about the product being advertised.  Overall, I think that T-Moblie should of had a more product focused ad.
