The Academy Award hoopla that surrounded the documentary SuperSize Me, 4th highest grossing documentary of all time, winner of the 2004 Sundance Film Festival, served to bring a small budget attack on fast food to center stage. The film has been seen by millions. Soon afterwards, McDonald's Corporation unveiled their Healthy Living Campaign and began offering their fresh fruit Apple and Walnut salad as a new menu item.
