Yeah except the documentary that made him famous was a complete fraud and has been proven as such multiple times.Man -
You’re right , those documentaries were awesome
I don’t know if it was fraud, but I recall him seeming overly dramatic about the negative effect it had on him. That said it was meant as entertainment not serious scientific inquiry. For those that already felt McDonalds was garbage or that were looking to improve their diet it struck a chord, which is why the film was so popular.Yeah except the documentary that made him famous was a complete fraud and has been proven as such multiple times.
Yes it made for good TV, but I think his alcoholism may have been a contributing factor in his poor lab results 😄Yeah except the documentary that made him famous was a complete fraud and has been proven as such multiple times.
Multiple people and at least two studies have tried to recreate his test results (which they had to guess at because he refused to offer any guidance or food diary for what he actually ate. You know, like someone not full of shit would do.) and none have been able to come anywhere near his "results".I don’t know if it was fraud, but I recall him seeming overly dramatic about the negative effect it had on him.

How was it a fraud? It always surprised me that people were either shocked that McD’s was really bad for your or defended old Ronald like he was a member of the family.Yeah except the documentary that made him famous was a complete fraud and has been proven as such multiple times.

He lied to the doctor in the documentary about his alcohol use. It makes a LOT more sense to suffer from shaking, depression and liver issues when you are a long time alcoholic.How was it a fraud?

He claimed that without other changes to his daily routine that he put on 10lbs in a week of 3 normal (but super sized) fast food meals per day and almost 25 pounds in a single month. He claimed severe mood swings, depression, heart palpitations, drowsiness, headaches, sexual dysfunction, shakes, etc. He covered up his alcoholism so that all sorts of negative results from his physical would be painted as the result of eating McDonalds (Which he was more than happy to reinforce in every interview).How was it a fraud?

He died of cancer.RIP Parkersburg, WV’s Morgan Spurlock. His sobering look at fast food and childhood obesity was excellent.
Especially for every mealIt shouldn't take a documentary to teach you that "fast food" will kill you in a miserable manner. It should only take reading the ingredients and a little common sense.
You ate fast food for every meal in college ?He claimed that without other changes to his daily routine that he put on 10lbs in a week of 3 normal (but super sized) fast food meals per day and almost 25 pounds in a single month.

All of that from 30 days...If that were true than like 40% of us wouldn't have survived college.
He did it for fame and money and kept it secret until a decade later when he wrote a confession about a string of sexual misconducts and impropriety and tying it to childhood abuse and his decades of alcoholism.
You don’t think French fries cooked in fat and covered in salt, white bread from the burger buns and god knows how much sugar from the pops he drank weren’t going to cause him to gain weight, everyone’s metabolism works differently.He claimed that without other changes to his daily routine that he put on 10lbs in a week of 3 normal (but super sized) fast food meals per day and almost 25 pounds in a single month.

Absolutely, it's not good for you at all. But a 30-year old dude isn't gaining 0.7% of his body weight in fat per day eating a normal amount of food, even if fast food, only 3 times per day as he claims. A dude's liver doesn't become equivalent to the liver of a long-time alcoholic after 30 days of eating McDonalds.You don’t think French fries cooked in fat and covered in salt, white bread from the burger buns and god knows how much sugar from the pops he drank weren’t going to cause him to gain weight, everyone’s metabolism works differently.
Also, you don’t think McDonald’s wasn’t going to do whatever they could to discredit the doc? They’re no different than the cigarette companies.
