Those burgers all finally caught up with him after all these years.
Damn, I liked his documentaries. Regardless of whether you agree or disagree with the premise behind Super Size Me, he was excellent at his craft.
And he seemed like a good guy.The dude was completely full of shit lol
Spurlock’s film follows a 30-day period from February 1 to March 2, 2003, during which he claimed to only consume McDonald’s food, although he later disclosed he was also drinking heavily.
That could skew the results.
A doctor commented on how alarming it was that he suffered liver damage from the project - it was on a level they only saw in people drining heavily.
He also talks about how he was vegan early in the documentary, not long before the iconic ‘getting a burger for the first time and throwing up in the parking lot’ scene.
I always attributed that to the obvious “his vegan body can’t handle eating all that meat at once” explanation, but him being an alcoholic would also explain that
Exactly. I prefer documentaries from people who don’t go out of their way to lie to make a point. He’s right on par with that Disney documentary that threw a bunch of lemmings off a cliff

They did what now?
The whole ‘lemmings running off a cliff’ thing is total bullshit. It came from a Disney documentary and they chucked/chased them off the cliff.

And here I am, three hours later, learning something new
