Here Morgan Spurlock examines everything from school lunch programs and the marketing of fast food to the decline of physical education. He looks at why fast food is so tasty, cheap, and ultimately seductive-and interviews everyone from surgeons general and kids to marketing gurus and lawmakers, who share their research and opinions on what we can do to offset a health crisis of supersized proportions. 3933 2005 Don't Eat This Book: Fast Food and the Supersizing of America total:475|5:87|4:199|3:152|2:28|1:9| 475 1752 651 103 4 2 false false Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Tue Jun 03 16:44:45 -0700 2008 Mon Jul 07 05:09:03 -0700 2008
