My favorite memory of that movie was when he did a full physical before the start, and told the doc what he was gonna do and the doc laughed like, “yeah have fun”. And then at the halfway point he went back for another physical and bloodwork and the doc got serious and was like, “you must stop this”
In fairness to the doctor, that was before it was widely known that the Big Mac special sauce was mostly Tylenol.
Supposedly he was quite the alcoholic and that was part of the reason his labs came back so bad.
Vaxed?
In his reply documentary Fat Head, Tom Naughton “suggests that Spurlock’s calorie and fat counts don’t add up” and noted Spurlock’s refusal to publish the Super Size Me food log. The Houston Chronicle reports: “Unlike Spurlock, Naughton has a page on his Web site that lists every item (including nutritional information) he ate during his fast-food month.”[25]
After eating exclusively at McDonald’s for one month, Soso Whaley said, “The first time I did the diet in April 2004, I lost 10 pounds (going from 175 to 165) and lowered my cholesterol from 237 to 197, a drop of 40 points.” Of particular note was that she exercised regularly and did not insist on consuming more food than she otherwise would. Despite eating at only McDonald’s every day, she maintained her caloric intake at around 2,000 per day.[26]
After John Cisna, a high school science teacher, lost 60 pounds while eating exclusively at McDonald’s for 180 days, he said, “I’m not pushing McDonald’s. I’m not pushing fast food. I’m pushing taking accountability and making the right choice for you individually… As a science teacher, I would never show Super Size Me because when I watched that, I never saw the educational value in that… I mean, a guy eats uncontrollable amounts of food, stops exercising, and the whole world is surprised he puts on weight? What I’m not proud about is probably 70 to 80 percent of my colleagues across the United States still show Super Size Me in their health class or their biology class. I don’t get it.”[27]
As a counterpoint, the film features interviews with Big Mac aficionado Don Gorske, who eats an average of two Big Macs a day, yet maintains his weight and cholesterol.
A 2006 study on fast food consumption by healthy individuals inspired by the documentary showed that, while the heavy diet does affect liver enzymes, it did not show the same dangerous effect shown in the documentary. This suggested that the extreme reaction must have had another cause.[28][29]
In 2017, Spurlock admitted to a history of alcohol abuse which some critics, such as documentary filmmaker Phelim McAleer, have argued may better account for many of his symptoms.[30]
Yeah but now you can really eat McDonald’s because of it
Are public companies the reason food sucks?
Privately owned companies suck too 
I’m not watching that whole thing but if this is a publicly traded company problem, why wasn’t mcdonalds doing it until just recently? the dude literally points at a time not too long ago when a big mac meal deal was $5, and yet I am pretty sure mcdonalds was a publicly traded company then
also, why are the sit-down restaurants not nearly as impacted? they should be just as greedy and while their prices have increased, the rate of increase isn’t nearly what it’s been for fast food
the thing I really hate about tiktoks is there is no way to rewind or see how much is left
Top of the screen shows a progress bar but yeah no ff or rewind sucks
I’m was pleasantly surprised by a Sonic cheeseburger this week. Very good and no crazy expensive.
Sonic might have the biggest gap visit to visit of any FF place I go to. I feel like im rolling the dice every time.
Went to Sonic once and must have rolled poorly because I never had the desire to go back.
Although McD is publicly traded, my understanding is that the individual franchisees often have to absorb some of the costs of the promos, suggesting that neither corporate nor the franchisees were clamoring to restart the promo.
Yeah but you have to have an account and the app
The prices at nearly every McDonald’s are different. There are some stores that are consistent middle, some stores that are very low, and some that are very high. Often offsets in pricing appear in stuff like large vs. medium french fries. We’re talking like 1 to nearly 2 dollar differences between restaurants where large fries might be cheaper than medium fries on a size by size basis (3 medium vs. 2 large) and in some that ratio is switched.
