Lesson
Have you watched the documentary film by Morgan Spurlock called "Supersize me"? No!? The film talks about the supersized portions of food sold by a fast food restaurant. According to Spurlock, "Super Size Me is one man's journey into the world of weight gain, health problems and fast food. It’s an examination of the American way of life and the influence that has had on our children, the nation and the world at large".
But, how did he choose this name for the film? Check it out!
Supersize (also Supersized) - adjective
It all started with a particularly large portion of French fries at a well-known fast food restaurant. But supersize portions of food lead to supersize people and supersize health problems. Supersize people need supersize homes, drive supersize cars, and shop at supersize shopping malls. We now live in a society where things are not just large, but excessively large, or supersize.
"Supersize beds, wheelchairs, hoists and commodes are being installed in Hawke's Bay Hospital, Hastings, to cope with a growing number of obese patients..."
