Over-consumption

I don't know if you guys have seen the flyers around campus, but I thought I would post if anyone is interested. I do not know the topic of discussion for the lecture but it should be interesting. Spurlock is most famous for his documentary "SuperSize Me," which he filmed and documented the health issues related to fast food. He also directed another documentary called "What Would Jesus Buy?" This film looks at consumerism, over-consumption, and how it is a part of American Culture. Don't let the "J" word scare you, this film is not religious, but is just used a vehicle to discuss an important message. Here is a link to the trailer and film, if anyone is interested:  http://video.google.com/videosearch?client=safari&rls=en-us&q=what+would+jesus+buy&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&um=1&sa=N&tab=wv&oi=property_suggestions&resnum=0&ct=property-revision&cd=1#
