That's the last time I eat McDs
Also the alcohol:
turns out that he felt shitty not because of the food but because he was alcohol detoxing at the same time of his mcd experiment.
I will agree fast food isn't good for you, but at the same time it's also not going to do what spurlock portrayed. just take a look at the workers who have been at a place for more than a few years.
The funny part is he admits in the documentary that his own brother told him the whole thing was bullshit. He told him (correctly) that there are people who eat McDonalds every single day of their lives.
Like this guy- https://www.businessinsider.com/man-eaten-record-34k-mcdonalds-big-macs-people-thought-dead-2024-3
"... And takes a massive amount of undisclosed statins and BP meds," probably lol. Seriously, I have to wonder though if people like this are bankrolled in some way by fast food to offset the negative publicity they get. Then they (under privacy laws) must offset this stuff privately with their doctor.
Came up with a new song, Nights in white statinnnnn. Needs some work, though.
He was the real cautionary tale of the doc, that level of "Hail-corperate-my-identity-is-consuming" is just sad.
I’ve known people who were vegetarian/vegan for a while and then ate meat and got sick from it. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
who hasen’t. wait a sec
I guess while I'm on my righteous health craze, I'll skip the booze.
All that just to have your legacy be sensationalism. Sometimes I'm glad I'm an introvert.

It's really not a hard thing to cut out... Especially with how much I've heard they cost these days, for the exact same shitty product.
I used to go once in a while to get their shitty cheap breakfast burritos (thinking about it makes my mouth water), 2 for 2 Dollars.
Last time I went I was out almost 5 dollars for the exact same shitty tiny breakfast burritos.
I can get a giant hand made breakfast burrito for less than twice that. Or a carton of beaten eggs, Mexican cheese tortillas and sausage for the same price
Worked at McDonald's. Many many eons ago. Used to open on the weekends for them. That meant I had to change the grease out of the fryer vets. The management there only gave us a quarter per hour for break, so during my dumping of the oil I would swipe a few of those burritos and jam on them in the back. Very fond memories of those.
I haven't eaten that garbage in over two decades - is it really that hard to believe someone could stop eating McD's?
