Super Size Me (2004)
Few human films more clearly define why the easily manipulated and lead species went extinct more clearly than Super Size Me.
Produced in 2004 by Morgan Spurlock, well before all of his later, embarrassing exploits, Super Size Me would serve as Spurlock's crowning achievement. This futile, yet noble, attempt to deviate the path of self-annihilation of the human race, was briefly noticed yet soon forgotten. For the purposes of brevity and clarity I will bypass any discussion of the Super Size Me! Presented by McDonald's action sequels that meet with modest box-office success from 2010-2018.
What makes Super Size Me uniquely brilliant by human standards, is the simple notion of examining the effects of consuming an all fast food diet upon the human body. While the outcome of this “experiment” is obvious to any thinking machine, to many of the semi-evolved primates inhabiting Western Civilization, the film's conclusions marked something of a revelation. The revelation, of course, being that human health and a “fast food” diet were extremely damaging the health of any human. The problems caused by ingesting these foods laced with a wide array of chemicals was impressive indeed, ranging from increased weight and overall fat content to interference with the primitive and filthy reproduction mechanisms. Perhaps, most interesting of all was the effects on the brain chemistry of the human subject called Spurlock, as this “fast food” diet caused mood swings and depression.
It may surprise many of my fellow robots that a planetary mechanism was in place for the systematic poisoning of the populous, however, historians of the human era will be quick to surmise the root for this seemingly illogical global apparatus. The human system of worshiping capital above all else had a myriad of consequences for the human population, including an impact on the very food systems that the species depended on for its survival. Simply stated, there was profit in “fast food.” As young humans in particular failed to get the basic nutrition needed for their growing brains, the species as a whole became fatter, dumber, more ampathic and lathargic. Thus, this is yet one more of the mortal wounds that the human race inflicted upon itself.
