Every Super Sized Lie in Super Size Me


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXtJ12EeaOs

Today on Weird History Food we are examining the 2004 breakout film 'Supersize Me' by Morgan Spurlock. For a 'documentary', this expose took the country by storm, even being nominated for an Oscar. The film rooted itself deep into the public consciousness for a number of years, until skeptics began to try and replicate Spurlock's claims. Ever since its release, more and people have begun to question its claims, and various legal woes have further dispelled the connection between the physical effects Spurlock experienced and his diet of McDonald's food. Maybe you have seen the film, or maybe you know of these controversies that have erupted in the years since its release!

Morgan Spurlock has said he was drinking all the time during the making of the movie which caused his weight gain.

reply

He admitted that long after the movie came out; he admitted his boozing shortly after admitting he was a sexual perv.

What a way to kill your career.

That documentary was fake. He lied and mislead to get that agenda. Because no one would care if he would gain 1 kg. So he lied having health issues and depression. Because that would get attention.

It's much more "stunt" than it is "documentary." Today, this would just be a stupid YouTube video.
