He was a raging alcoholic who hid his illness from the medical professionals who examined him as part of his Super Size Me “experiment.” A lifetime of booze did way more damage than 30 days of McDs possibly could.
The point everyone forgets—and was the whole point of the name of his documentary—was that he wasn’t just eating every meal at McDonalds but had to Super Size the meal if asked. At the time it was the policy of McD’s to try to get people to Super Size their meals. So he was regularly adding hundreds of extra calories to most meals.
He was trying to be provocative and sell his art. Someone else could have eaten at McDonalds every meal at the same time and stayed near a 2k calorie diet. Definitely not something i would want to do but it wouldn’t be worse than some peoples daily meals. That wasn’t the goal of the documentary though; the goal was to spur public discourse about the high calorie foods being served by places like McD’s and their policies of encouraging larger portion sizes.
The documentary was effective and definitely caused public discourse and fast food menus to change. Even though it was largely based on a very controlled and manipulative narrative that Spurlock spun.
He ate McDonald’s for 30 days. He was vegetarian and into fitness the rest of his life.

Agree, the fucking veggies did this guy in.
Vegans are a government PsyOp to get people to eat more veggies as a means of population control.
And, of course the seventh day adventists, but for ruttyness control
Alcohol is made from veggies
