Morgan Spurlock, who lived on McD's for 30 days, dies at 53.

Which was more important historically, the veracity of the tale or shining a light on the topic?

I think the general public knew that fast food in general was not healthy long before the documentary, so if he was exaggerating the health effects then what what purpose was he serving other than deceiving the public for his own gain as a film maker? Sorry, I don't see the cause as noble in any way.

Fair enough though, it's super fun.

No, it's super SIZED fun.....

No one is arguing that McDonald’s is healthy, seem awfully sensitive about this subject.

It’s really the opposite. I’ve been chuckling over all the folks getting on their soap box to call his whole career a fraud because he drank while he was eating McDonald’s for a month. Some people seem to be very passionate about it. Never knew people were so concerned over the scientific validity of this documentary from two decades ago!

Don!t worry dude, you can eat your extra value meals with whatever size fry and cokes as you want. I won’t judge you.

You related to the guy? If so, my condolences.

He’s the Milf Hunter, right?

 

[jcyclonee]

I'll agree, but we historians do a lot of grave-stomping.

That's where you learned those dance move!

 

[jcyclonee]

Thank God. Now that I learned he was drinking during the documentary, I can safely go back to the All-McDonald’s diet I’ve been craving.

If it wouldn't destroy my liver, I'd have a Shamrock shake with every meal.

While eating McDonald’s for 30 straight days is not healthy. Working there for 30 straight days can be healthy. After working there for a few months in college, I had no desire to eat there for years. The smell would make me queasy. Although, I was good at making basic breakfast burritos after that.

I could do that and still be in better shape than you.

Meanwhile this guy is still kicking at 70

If I remember right, the burgers aren’t terribly bad for you compared to a normal burger. It’s the fries with the corn syrup.

I had the same issue after working at Pizza Hut

I heard they weren’t even moms, totally fake

Even super sized fun?

Same here for Pizza Ranch.

Spend a night making their boasted chicken and it changes how everything else smells.

At the time though I did enjoy making my own pizzas at the end of the night.

If I drank them consistently then I wouldn't be shocked to see green poop after enjoying one.

It is odd, but true.

Their corn soup is top notch. Ate it every time I went to China, wish we could get it here.
(or should I put this in the corn thread).

Dang. The fries are the best part.
