LOS ANGELES – September 13, 2013 – Filmmaker Morgan Spurlock (One Direction: This Is Us and Super Size Me) continues his mission to raise awareness about what we eat with the new interactive Super Size Me: What Are We Eating? App available for iOS devices beginning September 17, 2013. With this special app, consumers have instant and GPS -aware access to restaurant nutritional information presented by Ron English’s beloved character, MC Supersized.
Super Size Me: What Are We Eating automatically detects the nearest restaurants and exposes nutrition facts from a large and growing community database of menus from America’s best-known chains. In addition to location-based menu guidance, the application allows users to use quick indexes to view daily value percentages, facts, and nutritional advisories for tens of thousands of menu items, streamlining access to health information. Requests can be submitted for additional restaurants or menu items to be added to the Super Size Me: What Are We Eating database.
“With the Super Size Me: What Are We Eating app we wanted to make sure nutrition information was readily available for everyone to access as they make their dining decisions,” states Spurlock. “We also wanted it to be fun at the same time as informative, so we created MC Supersized to help people make healthy choices.”
The interactive app features tools for families and individuals alike to better manage their health and dietary needs by allowing users to combine items and feed them to MC Supersized to view meal or daily totals. Special features include excerpts from the Oscar® nominated film SUPER SIZE ME that are unlocked by exploring menus and meeting challenges. Users can also share meals and nutritional facts with friends and family over text, email, Facebook, and Twitter.
Super Size Me: What Are We Eating? Is available in the iTunes App Store beginning September 17, 2013.
