Morgan Spurlock, the documentary filmmaker best known for “Super Size Me,” has died. He was 53.
He died Thursday night from complications of cancer, the Post can confirm.
“It was a sad day, as we said goodbye to my brother Morgan,” his brother Craig Spurlock to the outlet. “Morgan gave so much through his art, ideas and generosity. Today the world has lost a true creative genius and a special man. I am so proud to have worked together with him.”
Born in 1970 in Parkersburg, West Virginia, Spurlock graduated from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts in 1993.
He got his start in the entertainment industry as a playwright, winning awards for his 1999 play “The Phoenix” at the New York Fringe Festival.

I was going to say the same thing…it’s the seed oils in that stuff that are harming people. And the sugar/chemical concoction that is a “soft drink.”
Seed oils are poison.
And even a lot of people who are on the Keto Diet are consuming seed oils, thinking that just because they are low-carb it’s healthy.
But the first thing I thought of on hearing this news was how Andy Kaufman died of lung cancer. Some people have horrible diets and habits and live well into their nineties. And obsessive health nuts drop dead on the street. One can play the odds, but there are no guarantees.
Turbo cancer, the Jab strikes again.
Until proven otherwise, by 2028 there will be millions who have died young.
My Sister in Laws mom died at 86, she weighed 4-500lbs for 40 years I knew her. My grandmother weighed 300 plus or minus even in pictures from the 19 teens, she lived to 96 and with my family. She was sharp as a tack too.
Thanks, I’ll have to check this out. I’ve always thought Spurlock was hack after learning how he lied about McDonald’s in Super Size Me. And who needed a movie to tell them McDonald’s is unhealthy in the first place.
Agreed
Well OK if you say so, but that’s probably not the way to bet.
300 pounds, there’s not much quality of life, when simply putting on shoes is an ordeal. (Which they probably don’t, because they ain’t goin’ anywhere anyway.)
My step grandmother was obese, in a wheelchair, partial amputation on one leg, blind, deaf, and prone to confusion. In a nursing home. That ain’t no way to live, and that ain’t no way to die.
They are nasty industrial chemicals. Now that’s a fact. It took me a long time to figure out they are not very digestible, because I was eating so much food.
When we cut back on calories, way back on calories, we tend to notice right away what foods agree with and are well tolerated. We will naturally gravitate towards high quality animal protein and animal fats like tallow, lard, and coconut oil, and cut back on the carbs, which only tend to induce a full/hunger cycle roller coaster.
I agree about the quality of life, but my grandma bought a 1969 Chevelle new off the lot in Redding CA, and drove to my parents house by herself, she was 73 then. She kept driving and travelling until about 1976, and gave the car to my cousin in Redding. She was happy and healthy, cooked and darned socks, made afghans for fun and family. She was big, but tough. She had various furs and a mink coat given to her by a trapper for feeding him when he was broke. Ran the cookhouse at her families ranch, taught school, and ran the Post Office too. The really fat brothers wife, she lumbered and breathed hard.
Did she exceed the combined maximum GVWR? Maybe it had the specially optioned 454 supersport package?
