”Det er en virkelig god, dårlig ide” var Scott Ambrozys kommentar til instruktøren Morgan Spurlock, da han præsenterede sin ven og producer for den idé, der siden skulle blive til dette vanvittige eksperiment af en dokumentarfilm.Da Morgan hørte om to unge pigers sagsanlæg mod fast-food kæden McDonald’s – og samtidig kunne følge de stigende overvægtsproblemer i USA, syntes han pludselig, at der var noget, der ikke hang sammen. For at finde ud af om det er manden eller maden, der har magten i det amerikanske samfund, satte han sig derfor for at dokumentere følgende kamikaze-projekt: I 30 dage lever han udelukkende af måltider fra McDonald’s under visse regler, som han selv opstiller. Han skal bl.a. altid svare ’ja’ til spørgsmålet, om han ønsker en ’supersize’ menu!
