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.
In order to maintain his health, he doesn’t eat french fries and walks six miles a day.
“… And takes a massive amount of undisclosed statins and BP meds,” probably lol. Seriously, I have to wonder though if people like this are bankrolled in some way by fast food to offset the negative publicity they get. Then they (under privacy laws) must offset this stuff privately with their doctor.
Came up with a new song, Nights in white statinnnnn. Needs some work, though.
Also the alcohol:
