Supersize Me Documentary Notes

400,000 deaths cause by weight related illness per year.
1 in 4 Americans visit fast food restaurants every day.
McDonalds make up 43% of fast food restaurants.

In this documentary we saw the heavy use of graphics when it came to showing graphs and other important things and another thing we saw throughout was a voice-over. The voice-over was used a lot when it came to explaining what was happening and generally what he was eating. The only times that a voice-over was not used is when he was talking directly to the camera like a video blog type entry and when he was with the doctors and dieticians.
