BACKGROUND: Spurlock's "Super Size Me" examined the phenomenon of fast food and obesity in America, and became the sixth highest grossing box office documentary of all time; received an Oscar nomination, the Writers Guild of America Best Documentary Screenplay Award and Best Director prizes at the Edinburgh and the Sundance Film Festivals. The film made such an impact that McDonald's restaurants dropped "super sizing" from its menu shortly after the movie premiered at Sundance.

His book "Don't Eat This Book" picks up where the movie left off.
