McDonald’s Diet Documentary
The New York Post reports on Morgan Spurlock’s new documentary, Super Size Me, that recounts the 30 days Spurlock’s body went on an all fast-food diet.
Within a few days of beginning his drive-through diet, Spurlock, 33, was vomiting out the window of his car, and doctors who examined him were shocked at how rapidly Spurlock’s entire body deteriorated.
“It was really crazy - my body basically fell apart over the course of 30 days,” Spurlock told The Post.
His liver became toxic, his cholesterol shot up from a low 165 to 230, his libido flagged and he suffered headaches and depression.
This man dedicated his body and health to make the story happen, bravo! Not that we recommend you, in any way, put your health in danger to break into documentary filmmaking – there are already enough Discovery-channel shooters out there imperiling themselves with alligators, grizzly bears, and what-not.
