We talk so much about addiction to drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, or other stimulants. But addiction can include feeding. Food is one of various possible addiction when we consume in excess. Consequences can became dangerous. The trap, it’s the food which is the more appreciated is the food the more dangerous.
Then, today we go to speak about thematic who is “prevention”, and more specifically of risk of addiction food. To illustrate this thematic, we have choose like experiment “Super size me”.
Did you know the Oreo cookies really as addictive as cocaine, in fact a study conducted by the University of Connecticut published in 2013 investigate the rats’ behaviour if they proposed them in one side to have injection with morphine and in the other side to eat Oreo. They conclude spent the same time in the two conditions. Besides they discover that concentration of a protein associate to pleasure was higher in the brain of rats which consumed cookies or drugs than other.
That movie shows how in one month, a man who apparently ate normally, can became addict to “bad eating”. Morgan Spurlock’s film follows one month during which he ate only MacDonald’s food. In this movie we can see the drastic effect on Moran’s physical and psychological well-being. He became depressed, exhausted, with mood disorder, sex life inexistent…
To begin we will show the Morgan Spurlock’s experiment, and we will speak about benefits of food on health.

I would be happy to record this for you, but it's not terribly clear English. Does that matter?
