What Happens When You Only Eat McDonalds For 30 Days (6x62)

Fecha de emisión: Ago 03, 2022

Super Size Me is one of the most well-known and successful documentaries of all time. In the early 2000s, filmmaker Morgan Spurlock challenged himself to eat nothing but food from McDonalds for an entire month. He had witnessed the explosion of fast food in America, and with growing numbers about obesity and other weight-related health issues, he wanted to do an experiment and see what would happen to his body if he only ate from the Golden Arches. Despite his doctors stern warnings of the risks involved, he did it anyway, and the results are fascinating. I remember seeing this movie long before I was a doctor, but now that I am a practicing physician, I wanted to watch it again with a fresh perspective. Big Macs, gigantic cokes, mountains of fries, apple pies... you name it, he ate it. I have some strong opinions about the methods used in producing this doc, as well as our current conversations around weight in this country, and I'm sure you do to!
