What They're Saying

Critics Review

“Breezy, humorous.” —The New York Times

“Fact-packed and funny.” —Publishers Weekly

“Spurlock expands on [Super Size Me’s] harrowing themes of American obesity and offers causes and cures, all while remaining—get this—entertaining. Like a funnier Michael Moore.” —Maxim

“A sobering look at the country’s obesity crisis.” —People (Great Reads)

“Just reading this book will give the average reader indigestion…a shocking indictment of the fast food industry.” —Tucson Citizen

“He has a story to tell, and it’s scary enough to keep you out of that drive-through line.” —Charleston Post and Courier

“Alternately hilarious and discouraging…provides further details about the health impact of the nation’s poor eating choices.” —Toledo Blade

“Detailed and nuanced…very amusing.” —Maclean’s

“With a combination of wit, sarcasm, anger, and hard-hitting research, Spurlock argues that groups such as the American Medical Association and the U.S. Department of Agriculture have been corrupted by corporate interests.” —St. Paul Pioneer Press

“Spurlock [writes] in his trademark take-no-prisoners style and with a humor that saves him from sounding pious or self-satisfied. A powerful work of reporting and punditry.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
