It wasn't even a good "experiment" because the dude was a severe alcoholic at the same time, which unsurprisingly was not mentioned at all. Attributing liver failure solely to the fast food and not the handle of liquor he was drinking a day
It's not really fast food that's terrible. It's making terrible choices with fast food.
It's literally in the name: "Super Size Me". Every time anyone at McDonald's asked him if he wanted a size increase, he said yes. If you force yourself to constantly only eat particularly bad fast food and the maximum ammount possible, no shit you get obese.
I ate fast food almost exclusively for a whole year, and I did gain some weight, but nothing fucking dangerous like he did. I tried to eat normally, and didn't make 50% of my diet sugary drinks.
I guess even that should be obvious. I used to walk 10 to 12 miles a day and still lost weight while eating poorly. But still it should be obvious that fast food isn’t good for you in excess. I remember when it came out some people attacked McDonalds as if they forced people to make bad choices
You'd think people would put 2+2 together now that it's borderline common knowledge that Olympians are fueled by McNuggets because they don't trust strange food on competition week.
The thing that surprises me the most about fast food is how much more caloric it is by volume than homemade equivalents.
I've been tracking my meals on a phone app, and I had a breakfast burger thing at Hardee's the other day and it was almost 1,000 calories. The equivalent homemade English muffin breakfast sandwich is around 300-400 calories with egg, cheese, and meat. It wasn't a huge meal at Hardee's and I was hungry again at about the same time as usual- just with 600 more calories consumed.
All restaurants slather it in butter and salt. The secret to anything tasting good? Butter n salt. More than you're thinking. No, more than that. Still more. Ok yes, now double it.
Its because he framed it as n actual experiment to prove how they were slowly killing you, and it came out around the time of the "American Obesity" talking point getting big.
All his lies about it didn't come out immediately for most people, so it took a minute before it got buried.
I remember being so confused why Super Size Me was s given so much praise. Eating lots of fast food is unhealthy. Shocker

How else are going to make something sensational?

Thanks for the hearty laugh here on clown world.
This is a strange way to write 5
Pretty much everything about Super Size Me was so poorly done that it felt like someone trying to get famous more than anything.

You're right, and also Hardee's is fucking delicious. There's gotta be some bad stuff in there.

That's the healthy menu option.
