Downsize me
Morgan Spurlock, the man who sacrificed his health to eat supersized McDonalds' shit for thirty days in Super Size Me, has died at only 53 years of age.
He claimed that he gained 25lb (11kg) during his ordeal. Following the documentary's release, McDonalds discontinued its supersize offerings, undoubtedly much to the chagrin of landwhales the length and breadth of the USofA(therosclerosis). At least they had the all-you-can-eat buffet to fall back on, until the pandemic killed that too.
He was the (US) people's fat-fighter. RIP.
Spurlock later admitted that he was an alcoholic during that phase in his life, which accounted for the depression and liver dysfunction he reported at the time. Whether or not it also contributed to his weight gain is another matter. By the time it came out, however, the damage to stateside portion sizes had been done.
