Sad to leave this world with only a legacy of broken marriages and BS documentaries.

“His breakout project was his 2004 documentary “Super Size Me,” which chronicled the changes to his health when he spent 30 days consuming only McDonald’s food.”

TBH I’m surprised that didn’t kill him immediately.

I swung into the McDs on the base at least once a week for a few years for a sausage biscuit, and I’ll always attribute that at least in part to my 2016 heart cath, angioplasty and stent.

He was a massive liar.

[dfwgator]

I remember there was a McDonald’s CEO who died fairly young of Cancer, and he said he used to eat McDonald’s every day when he was growing up.

He was a massive liar.

He was a raging alcoholic his entire adult life.

He tried to blame his liver damage on eating McD’s for a month. Even the doctor in the movie wasn’t buying it. “You have the liver of an alcoholic!” the doctor said.

[babble-on]

Yes, the movie was engaging, but the premise was a lie.

It served as a model for “biased documentaries” that are influential on both ends of the political spectrum.

[dfwgator]

I never saw it, but how was the premise a lie?

[bray]

One of the side effects of the shot.

[Drew68]

Not a good look for McDonald’s now.

Jim Beam isn’t troubled.

”LOL! You drank me every day of your adult life and then tried to blame McDonalds!”

[dfwgator]

Booze and McDonald’s, not a good combination.

I am not a supporter of marijuana, but it’s funny how people say that pot is worse than alcohol, when most people who use pot also tend to drink a lot.
