>Spurlock's supervising physicians noted the effects caused by his high-calorie diet—once even comparing it to a case of severe binge alcoholism. Following Spurlock's December 2017 assertion that he hadn't been "sober for more than a week" in three decades, the claims of his liver dysfunction being caused by eating McDonald's food solely for 30 days have been called into question.

You can lose weight eating nothing but doritos and marshmallow peeps if you eat very few of them.
The point is more that a diet of what McDonalds expects you to order (including saying yes to the supersize option) causes you to become visibly, medically American.

Supersize used to cost something like 50 cents more. You 3rd worlders have never seen that much food in your life.

This is the biggest crock of shit "documentary" ever made. Everyone fucking knows McDonalds is bad for you. This was a shameless cash grab that was piggybacking off the health food craze at the time and people just wanted to be told something they already knew to further justify the superiority they felt in "eating healthy". Spurlock is a fucking scam artist. Of course eating nothing but McDonalds will cause negative health repercussions. But also if you eat nothing but oatmeal and kale for 30 days you'll fucking be unhealthy too. Also Spurlock is a fucking alcoholic and was vegetarian prior to switching to the super-sized diet. Turns out that dramatically shifting a diet will also fuck you up regardless of what kind of food you're switching to.

He always has to lie and he asks himself at night, if the money was worth it.

Also why didn't he order a salad? It's on the menu. There is nothing stopping him from ordering a salad and he has no one to blame but himself for eating actual trash when he established the only requirement for this 'experiment' was he could only eat things on the McDonald's menu.

Everyone forgets his stupid obsession with that lawsuit where the sisters sued McDonald's for making them fat. What did he want McDonald's to do, advertise their products like the alcohol industry does? Not like that stopped him anyway

Could this doc have marked the beginning of the age of the professional grifter, at least in the video/documentary sense? It certainly seems to have demarcated some sort of shift. I mean, EVERYbody talked about this doc for years in ways they didn't any other.

The french fries, the sodas and the desserts (duh) are high in calories. If you eat a big mac and a side salad (or a similar low calorie side) for lunch with water you aren't going to gain weight if the rest of your diet is in balance. Hell, you could eat a second big mac for dinner with some fries and still have around 500-700 calories left to eat depending on how active you are.

The chicken one was a lot less antagonistic towards companies, and more about regulations in place in America. Tyson of course, got plenty of screen time, but all in all, it was a pretty good documentary without much fear mongering
