Marshall Reid, at the age of ten, was teased in school for
being obese. He and his mother decided to do the opposite of the famous “Super
Size Me” documentary. They trialed a healthy diet/lifestyle for one month. This
proved to be difficult due to schedule constraint and other family members
unwilling to participate. Marshall’s father was stationed in Iraq during the
diet; so to include him in the project, mother and son posted web videos on
cooking. These videos gained many views and inspired many to change their
lifestyle. The success of the videos led to the mother and son continuing their
diet. Since every individual has different reactions to food, the diet proved
hard to maintain for the whole family. However, the Reid family has overcome
their obstacles and making a healthier lifestyle for themselves.
