"Our body is a magnificiently
divided, living, breathing mechanism, yet we do almost nothing
to insure its optimal development and use. We must begin at
the beginning, just as the gardener who wants beautiful flowers,
in summer must start by cultivating the soil and proper nousrishing
the seedlings that come up in the early spring".Indra Devi,

"Filmmaker Morgan Spurlock
embarks on a journey to find out if fast food is making Americans
fat. For 30 days he can't eat or drink anything that isn't
on McDonald's menu; he must eat three square meals a day,
he must eat everything on the menu at least once and supersize
his meal if asked. He treks across the country interviewing
a host of experts on fast food and a number of regular folk
while downing McDonald's to try and find out why 37% of American
are now overweight. Spurlock's grueling diet spirals him into
a metamorphosis that will make you think twice about picking
up another Big Mac."
