SUPER SIZE ME PART 2

1. Do you think consumers (people who buy things) have the right to sue McDonalds for selling unhealthy food? Why or why not?

Ans: Yes. I think they have the right to sue McDonalds because it is unhealthy and it is bad for you cause it makes you overweight

2. McDonalds is the largest owner of private playgrounds in the world. What other ways does McDonalds use to market their food to children?

Ans: They have the cartoons and the toys in the happy meals.

3. How many calories do you think a healthy kid should eat in a day (click here for a clue)? According to the movie, how many calories are in a Super Size fries? How about a Double Gulp soda?

Ans:Kids come in all sizes and each person's body burns energy (calories) at different rates, so there isn't one perfect number of calories that a kid should eat. But there is a recommended range for most school-age kids: 1,600 to 2,500 per day. When they reach puberty, girls need more calories, but they tend to need fewer calories than boys. As boys enter puberty, they will need as many as 2,500 to 3,000 calories per day. The super size fries are about 600 calories. The double gulp soda is about six to eight hundred calories.
