Time: 7:30 PM

Film Information:

" Why are Americans so fat? Find out in this funny film, a tongue

in-cheek and burger-in-hand look at the physical, legal, and financial

costs of America’s hunger for fast food. Ominously, 37% of American

children and adolescents are carrying too much fat and two out of every

three adults are overweight or obese. Is it our fault for lacking

self-control or are the fast-food corporations to blame? Filmmaker

Morgan Spurlock hit the road and interviewed experts in twenty U.S.

cities, including Houston, the “Fattest City” in America. From Surgeon

Generals to gym teachers, cooks to kids, lawmakers to legislators,

these authorities shared their research, opinions, and “gut feelings”

on our ever-expanding girth. During the journey, Spurlock also put his

own body on the line and lived on nothing but McDonald’ s for an entire

month. It all adds up to a fat food bill, harrowing visits to the

doctor, and compelling viewing for anyone who’s ever wondered if man

could liveon fast food alone. "
