Morgan Spurlock, documentary filmmaker behind 'Super Size Me,' dies at 53

Most likely it was alcohol. It's known to cause some types of cancer.

His insinuation that McDonald's caused liver damage in his documentary was pretty questionable especially when it came out that he'd failed to mention his severe alcoholism.

I’d say he single handedly killed the supersize option at McDonald’s. Though I don’t think this was the point of his documentary, I still think it’s a massive accomplishment by a single person.

His TV show had the absolute worst argument in favor of raising minimum wage that I have ever seen, which really pissed me off because he could have made a legitimate argument. But no, he challenged he and his girlfriend to live on the equivalent of minimum wage at the time for 30 days. His girlfriend insisted they continue their organic vegan lifestyle, so they blew through their food budget, and then one of them got a not especially serious cold and they went to the ER over it.

If you're going to live like you're on minimum wage, show how hard it is just to survive on that. Don't do that first world middle class problems bullshit.

Yeah. Much loss. :(

Dabney Coleman died too

dont give me hope

putin and trump actually 69'd each other to death yesterday

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.

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

I haven't eaten that garbage in over two decades - is it really that hard to believe someone could stop eating McD's?

Because he was a massive alcoholic and was experiencing the effects of detox and passing it off as what he was doing for the documentary

They said "he is" not "here is"
