The documentary about a 30-day McDonald's diet made $22 million, earned an Oscar nomination and put Spurlock on the map. He later retreated from Hollywood after admitting to sexual misconduct.
turns out that he felt shitty not because of the food but because he was alcohol detoxing at the same time of his mcd experiment.
I will agree fast food isn’t good for you, but at the same time it’s also not going to do what spurlock portrayed. just take a look at the workers who have been at a place for more than a few years.
The funny part is he admits in the documentary that his own brother told him the whole thing was bullshit. He told him (correctly) that there are people who eat McDonalds every single day of their lives.
Also the alcohol:
I guess while I’m on my righteous health craze, I’ll skip the booze.
All that just to have your legacy be sensationalism. Sometimes I’m glad I’m an introvert.

I’ve known people who were vegetarian/vegan for a while and then ate meat and got sick from it. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

He was the real cautionary tale of the doc, that level of “Hail-corperate-my-identity-is-consuming” is just sad.
“… And takes a massive amount of undisclosed statins and BP meds,” probably lol.
