After Morgan Spurlock shoved his giant American face full of greasy burgers and fat-ridden chips then washed it all down with liquid sugar for a month, another film is coming along to try to educate us about the dodgy world of fast food. 

Hecklerspray doesn’t want to state the obvious, but we’re going to do so anyway, just to make it clear for any pea-brained chimps reading this. Amazingly, stuffing your fat face with burgers and chips on a daily basis is not good for you. Why some American thought he’d prove this point by making a film about it quite frankly bewildered us. Our pity soon turned to laughter as we watched a man slowly die in front of us as he proved a point everyone already knew. Junk food is bad for you. And now another film is on its way to remind you of the exact same thing in case you'd forgotten it.

Since Super-Size Me probably made the people watching it just want to go out and eat McDonalds as soon as the film finished, we thought that Morgan Spurlock would bugger off and leave us alone to tuck into our burgers, hotdogs, kebabs and other grease-ridden treats.

To an extent this has happened, as Spurlock went on to make other short documentary films to depress us all about subjects including living on the poverty line and living in prison for a period of time, which evidently wasn’t long enough. Now new breeds of filmmakers have emerged to try and put us off something that the majority of us eat maybe once or twice a month. 

Despite more people dying of far worse things like – oh we don’t know, say – smoking, which affects the smoker and those around them, a fictional film based upon on Eric Schlosser’s Fast Food Nation book is due for release in May in the UK. 

Based on the book, Fast Food Nation features a character called Mickey who gets disillusioned with what he’s doing when he discovers the firm he works for serves shit-quality meat to us – the unsuspecting burger munchers. Mickey then starts a journey where he encounters the immigrants who get paid fuck-all to slaughter a few cows to try and expose how evil the corporate world of burgers really is.

Various Fast Food Nation trailers show gormless workers dropping meat patties on the floor and still using them. Does this happen in real life? And just when it couldn’t get any more serial, we discovered the big-house buying Avril Lavigne is also starring in the film. Obviously she got sick of us not being her girlfriend and tried to act.

Despite not seeing the film, we can assume it’s just another scare tactic to put a person off eating something that is just as harmful as pesticides being sprayed on fruit and vegetables. We bet Captain Birdseye at one point has rubbed his fish fingers over his genitals. No-one is perfect. Apart from us.
