Nick Naylor (en uhyggeligt overbevisende Aaron Eckhart) er en charmerende debattør. Så god at han elegant tryner anti-rygerne live på prime time TV - selvom de stiller op med en døende, tobaks-kræftsyg teenager. Nick har nemlig valgt at bruge sine verbale trylleevner som talsmand for tobaksindustrien (regningerne skal jo betales, som han selv udtrykker det). Rigtigt/forkert betyder ingenting. Det drejer sig udelukkende om at vinde diskussionen. Men da en veldrejet kvindelig journalist (Katie Holmes) - med endnu mindre moral end Nick selv - fanger ham med bukserne nede, og lader ham smage på lidt af hans egen smagløse medicin, begynder Nick at overveje, om det nu også for enhver pris er værd at få ret..?
”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!

Antallet af mennesker med svær overvægt, sukkersyge og hjertesygdomme stiger, og læger kan berette om den første generation af børn med fedtlever. Men hvordan er det lykkedes fødevareindustrien at få os til at holde op med at sætte spørgsmålstegn ved sukkerets skadevirkninger på vores helbred? Er sukker i virkeligheden giftigt? Og har fødevareindustrien brugt den samme taktik som tobaksindustrien: I skal bare spise mindre af det.
