Super Size Me (2004)
Directed by Morgan Spurlock
Morgan Spurlock subjects himself to a diet based only on McDonald's fast food three times a day for thirty days without exercising to try to prove why so many Americans are fat or obese. He submits himself to a complete check-up by three doctors, comparing his weight along the way, resulting in a scary conclusion.

What critics compared Super Size Me to
“The Founder” isn’t a McDonald’s takedown in the manner of, say, Morgan Spurlock’s documentary “Super Size Me”; it is, on one level, an elegy for what the company might have been, but it’s also wise enough to know that McDonald’s is interesting only because of what it became.
This is not Super Size Me , not a denunciation of McDonald’s as a dealer pushing junk food on susceptible consumers.
If Morgan Spurlock’s “Super Size Me” hasn’t already given you second thoughts about patronizing McDonald’s, “The Founder” wants to eliminate any doubt.
Plot: It figures that the director of the fast-food expose Super Size Me would be in charge of capturing the 3-D concert antics of the pre-fab musical equal to burgers and fries: New Direction, the hottest boy band around.
