Fentanyl, yes, but also McDonald’s fast food.

Morgan Spurlock, who gained 25 pounds after eating at McDonald’s for a month—dead of cancer at 53

“(ap) documentary filmmaker Morgan Spurlock, an Oscar nominee who made food and American diets his life’s work, famously eating only at McDonald’s for a month to illustrate the dangers of a fast-food diet, has died. He was 53.

“Spurlock died thursday in new york from complications of cancer, according to a statement issued friday by his family and obtained by cbs news.

“Spurlock made a splash in 2004 with his groundbreaking [N.S.: b.s.] Super Size Me, during which he chronicled the detrimental physical and psychological effects of him only eating McDonald’s food for 30 days. He gained about 25 pounds, saw a spike in his cholesterol and [allegedly] lost his sex drive.

“‘everything’s bigger in America,’ he said in the film, according to the associated press. ‘We’ve got the biggest cars, the biggest houses, the biggest companies, the biggest food, and finally: the biggest people.

“He returned in 2019 with [N.S.: the bomb I’d never heard of] super size me 2: holy chicken! — a sober look at an industry that processes 9 billion animals a year in America. He focused on two issues: chicken farmers stuck in a peculiar financial system and the attempt by fast-food chains to deceive customers into thinking they’re eating healthier.”

GRA: I wonder which one kills more—fentanyl or McDonald’s? What they have in common is the consumer doesn’t know what’s in either one.

N.S.: Prior to Spurlock’s spurious “documentary,” Americans, who would typically eat at most one fast food meal a day had the option of getting larger portions at fast-food chains for a modest surcharge. But after the terrible publicity the msm hit the chains with, post-Spurlock, fast food giants all dropped the super size-me option, thereby costing customers billions more, to make up the difference.

Spurlock rigged the inputs to get the results he wanted. I'd compare him to Michael Mann but then I'd risk getting hit for a million by a D.C. jury.

This guy, on the other hand, was honest about his experiment and got good results. Remember from 2015? In the story he comments on Spurlock's faulty methodology, omitting exercise.

Spurlock ate 5,000 calories a day,while the second guy only 2,000 calories.THAT'S the difference.

They showed this Spurlock with fries sticking out his mouth. The man looked ridiculous.
