What did you think of "Super Size Me" when you watched it the first time?
I never saw it IDK when it came out.
I loved it! Eye opening back when it came out. I knew it wasn't good for you to constantly eat McDonald's or any fast-food like that but not to that degree of what I saw in "Supersize Me"
I thought it was interesting…. Now I work in that industry
During the time of that film’s release I was workin in the industry
and didn’t care
I admire his work as a film maker but his hypocrisy was like Icarus flying too close to the sun
Loved it, enjoyed it immensely
I could immediately see it was full of lies, sensationalism, deceptions, half-truths and inflammatory exaggerations.
Everyone who shunned him for being honest did exactly the wrong thing, because it all but ensures that sexually inappropriate behaviors will continue to flourish in the shadows. Morgan took a huge risk while betting on the wrong horse. I respect Morgan for his honesty, for changing his behavior, and for speaking out.
When someone voluntarily says, for example, “I was a dick,” the last thing to do is say back to them “yeah, you were a dick, and I’m going to ruin you for saying so.” I’ve never understood this behavior.
I agree. That’s a major negative about so-called “cancel culture”: It leaves no room for redemption.
Society is slow to catch up to humanity.
The cancel mobs act like they all have been perfect all their lives.
💯👍 All too prevalent in today's virtue-signalling, internet pile-on society!

Our precious niece died almost a year ago from liver failure at age 34. She began drinking at age 14. She was highly functioning, one would have ever guessed she was drinking all day but for when she was sleeping. She confessed she'd been drinking all day long and popping pills. Her heart gave out in her sleep. She also suffered from depression but we didn't know because she was always so happy, helpful and caring for others. It was very sad losing her.
I am so sorry.
You gotta be a dummy to not see a teenager get drunk. Terrible parents. Didn't know she was depressed because she was good at hiding it because she got drunk ? Pk
Morgan had a 2-degree opposition between his natal Mercury and Saturn. Saturn is well known for causing depression. Most recently, Matthew Perry had a 4 degree opposition between his natal Moon and Saturn. I've compiled a page of the celebrities who have stated they suffer from depression. Most of the people have one or more difficult aspects to their natal Saturn. The reason I'm offering this information is that those times when these natal aspects are triggered by progression or transit can be endured by knowing the duration.
I've noticed in life that you need to check in on the happy go lucky people. Most of them are like that to hide their depression
I'm sorry for your loss. I was struggling in a similar way, and managed to regain my health over an 8 year period (2014-2022). Then, life got on my case, and when a lying neighbor tried to accuse my dog of being vicious just to get to me (with the threat of having her removed)... I relapsed. Luckily I still have my precious pooch, and my family, and my home... But my health is starting to suffer again.... Thank you for sharing your story because it helps me.... One day sober today. I'm 47.
so he was an example of a typical person, drank too much, ate crap food too much, binged, made silly remarks to the opposite sex, showed remorse and carried guilt, cared enough about others to show it and make an effort to change.
If this was an eulogy then he was a modern man in a modern society battling with modern hypocrisies the same way most of us do.
The righteous will always find some nit bit to bite on.
Thank you and RIP Morgan Spurlock, I have not eaten Maccas or KFC since your doco's.
"Typical" people don't rabidly hate fat people and then try to make money off that hatred.
Nobody thinks fast food is healthy but using a hoax to scare people out of using it isn't cool.
@@kell_checks_in what? half of youtube is taken up by exactly that, typical people hating on other typical people. Try and make a relevant point if you make the effort to speak!
@@kell_checks_in everybody has made a fat joke in their life, some people make a living out of it. Only fat people care about it.
I think youre projecting.
Morgan Spurlock's alcoholism just emphasises, that if you have other health issues, you shouldn't live on fast food. Bad as that food type is, the worse it will obviously affect you, if you have other addictions too, like mixing of smoking and drinking alcohol.
People with depression can have so many issues and be self sabotaging. Cancelling is just cruel, vindictive bullying, often by people who cannot forgive someone, who is basically a stranger to them. If people apologise and mean it, forgive them, hate will damage your mental health.
The people that love to cancel are sick.
The liver damage was 100% the alcohol. Even if he genuinely wasnt drinking for the time period he did the MacDonalds docco, the damage already done to his liver would still be present.
Can you share your x-rays?
Fructose (sugar) is also processed by the liver and creates the damage alcohol does. His documentary led me to learn about metabolic disease. It changed my life.
Exactly. If he was a heavy drinker for years, that liver was already toast. The criticism is totally legitimate.
Yeah, if he was getting drunk every week for 30 years, that would absolutely have had a hugely negative effect on his liver function.
@@johnwattdotca It stands to reason, alcohol, specifically that kind of heavy consumption over a prolonged period of time, damages the liver. Since I cant show you his specific x-rays, I can suggest you look up the effects of long term alcohol consumption on the liver as those facts are verifiable and irrefutable. Otherwise, you can provide ME with proof that his liver is somehow immune to the effects of long term alcohol consumption that all other humans are subject to.
I'm glad he took some accountability for the things he did while he was alive while some never take accountability at all rip
Where did he apologize to fat people? When did he give back all the money he made wallowing hatred against us? I must have missed it.
@@kell_checks_in you don't deserve an apology, did you miss that part too?
Never tell people your secretes or past..80% don't car and the rest just want to see you fall, burn or in pain.
He confessed and owned his own sins, but people just can’t forgive! May he rest in peace.
Ray Croc must be happy.
Oh hey Brian 👋🏾
After 19 years I encounter someone on this website that I actually know lol.
HI!!!! So cool to see you here!!!
Very sad indeed.
Exactly!! He didn’t deserve such harsh treatment and backlash!
Poor diets do cause fatty liver in non alcoholics. It’s a big health concern these days.
Yeah, it'll give you hapato's cellular cancer and liver transplant.If that doesn't do it you know I don't know if people understand that or they might not do it.
His poor diet was a vegan one.
Sugar causes the same fatty liver as alcohol. They accused my mother of being alcoholic for years when it was Pepsi and baked goods.
Not in a month
A cautionary tale that certain people who claim they are virtuous are really not out for justice they just want to ruin you. Poor Morgan was naive and didn't understand this. Now I understand why the advice is never to apologise. They just see it as weakness and go harder.
Yep
Self righteousness is a disease. It’s the negativity in themselves that they see in the people they try to cancel. They claim to care but have zero affection for all the other people who will get hurt.
@@guapodel 💯
A cynical take on Spurlock's confessions of sexual indiscretions (including, potentially, RAPE) is that he was inserting himself into this movement to get his name back into the public eye. Maybe that's too cynical and he was completely sincere, but there's another thing to consider: apologies are owed but forgiveness never is.
Alcohol abuse and cancer go hand in hand.😢
No.
Any food that is cooked as being burnt or is fried is cancer causing.
Well, alcohol abuse first and foremost is linked to liver cancer, but it also can cause esophageal/throat cancer, oral cancer, colon cancer and (in women) breast cancer, supposedly.
@@seanm3226Yes.
Yes, whenever anyone drinks alcohol their cancer rate increases to 15%. The more one drinks the more that 15% is maintained/sustained.
I can say the same thing - not sober for more than a week for more than 30 years. I'm day 74 dry, I'm 52. Not yet sure what damage is done but also like Morgan, depression drives my alcoholism. I didn't even know he had died, sad news indeed.
your liver can likely heal itself, so that's something to be hopeful about. Also, alcohol destroys your ability to make your own dopamine, but again, that too will heal itself (and quickly, I quit booze for 6 weeks recently, only took 5 days for me to start sleeping better, and feeling happier)
@@user-bn4jk8gn1k Thanks, you're right, there's always a good time to quit and start healing. If anything, I'm still in mourning, for the version of me I've been for 30 years... the new guy isn't much fun ;)
I'll be the first of my forefathers not to succumb to alcoholism and inherent health complications, in a good few generations, if I can make it ;)
All the best :)
Good job keep it up. You'll feel soo much better
The surest way to stay sober is to truly repent and let the Holy Spirit guide your life.
@@destroya3303 Lol, I'm a Minister of the Church of the One True God, His Noodliness Flying Spaghetti Monster. He's much more fun than the other imaginary sky fairies. ;)
That doctor knew what he was doing
Yup
When I first saw the doc Supersize Me, I could not understand how 1 month of McDonalds can cause so much damage.
Because it can't
@@jokerofmoroccothere are burgers from Macdonald and burger King from the 90s that are still in tact and look "fresh", it goes to show all the preservatives they put in it.. not to mention clogging of arteries, high cholesterol, diabetes and more.
@@Luka-DanteGodofMischiefLOL, your comment is less truthful than Supersize Me. The only worthwhile thing in that doc is Don Gorske
@@reubensandwich9249 LOL..dude I did culinary arts and not only that there is this thing called Google it's easy to fact check before trying to denounce something you barely know much about...Preservatives are in ALOT of today's foods, chemicals, processed foods etc..why do u think Junk food does so muscular damage to humans? Nothing healthy in it or barely atleast.
@@reubensandwich9249 LOL I did culinary arts, not only that it's common sense that alot of foods esp junk foods are filled with preservatives and you know what preservatives are right? there are also other "food chemicals"..why do u think junk food does all that damage. From high cholesterol, diabetis, high blood pressure, heart attacks, esp if it's alot of salty food..theres even a burger in a museum because it's still in tact from years ago...Google is your friend..it will show you if you do your research and check your sources and don't just depend upon a documentary..
I was depressed my teenage years through my early 20s almost constantly. It's horrible.
How did you get thru those times.
Got out on my own. Did not grow up in a good environment. After awhile away on my own and finding normalcy I just became normal I guess.
That’s currently my life. An everyday struggle but I strive for more and for better. We deserve better! So happy to hear you’ve reached that point. I’m on my way there.
Keep your head up. One thing that does help is a positive mindset. Really just trying not to have a negative mindset. Sounds simple but enough repetition and you start handling things better everyday.
@@kyled2329 it’s a terrible feeling being depressed. I’m still on my healing journey trying to get through a big depressive episode. I keep having panic attacks that will wake me up in the middle of the night feeling like I can’t breathe… wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy.
I did not know he died. I enjoyed his series "30 Days".
So the Alcohol thew off his 30 day control experiment. Thats a problem!
hmm
You have to remember people in "The Mob" are not human beings. They're animals. They will never forgive or forget. They are the ones that should be on trial, not Spurlock. He was just a fallible human being who made some mistakes, but ultimately raised awareness and did a lot of good in the world. R.I.P.
Love this comment! Right on!
An imperfect human who owned up to his mistakes. And getting people off of the ridiculously addictive McDonald’s is not exactly a bad thing.
exactly!
He was a rapist,
The bit where the Doctor says "you are pickling your liver" was obviously prefaced by "if you keep drinking", was clearly edited , shameful.
You're right: "my advice is that you've gotta stop. You're pickling your liver, *and you're kicking it while it's down now* "
That last bit makes so much more sense in context knowing about his drinking.
his biggest mistake was thinking "the mob" would be even remotely forgiving or understanding. that's not how it works.
Another great case study is
evergreen university and their president who went woke to the absolute wokest degree
WHEN DID HE ASK FAT PEOPLE FOR FORGIVENESS? Show me the press release, the interviews, him writing a big fat check to fat civil rights groups...
Yeah it's sad. Ultimately, it was me too that killed this man
@@frakismaximus3052 seemed like a decent guy that had some problems and made some mistakes. but trying to open up about them to a ravenous mob that delights in the downfall of others was a bad idea and it cost him dearly.
I would apologize cause it's the right thing to do.
It's better to address the issue of being harsh on people who try to change better.
Also, if the people who slandered Morgan apologized and tried to be better would you forgive or torture them too?
Damn, I didn't know he passed away. Though most of the info in SSM was dubious at best, it did kickstart conversations about health, fast food and it's effects in America.
💯👍
There was another thing too: a book by Eric Schlosser? Fast Food Nation?
You should set your phone to get news, pop up alerts of the most important stories of the day. (& and also it has breaking stories what’s happening in your hometown, like a mass shooting or wildfire)
This Morgan Spurlock death story popped up several times on my phone on Friday.
It can’t hurt to get important alerts, and just delete them later if you don’t want to see them.
I don't think Spurlock was a regular consumer of fast food before and certainly not after the doc. Ironically, the lesson others may take from his death at a young age is that we should enjoy what we can in the short time we have. I do remember the most shocking thing in the movie was a guy who was interviewed who ate a big mac a day for years who was quite skinny and didn't report any major health problems. It's more likely true that most people who dine frequently on fast food lead unhealthy lives in general or suffer from food or medical insecurity due to being poor.
It also ended many friendships, caused suicides, denied fat people jobs and educational opportunities, and forced fat people into basic hiding for a decade because of all the hatred he fueled against us. The SOB can RIH.
In and around 2016 - It was like every woman out there wanted to proclaim her "Me too" moment. Oh, I know, ME TOO! And they were going to burn every guy at the stake for any inference or perceived sexual innuendo. Like they were even more pissed if they didn't have a juicy example of how they were harassed, to the point that they would make some shit up.
*wHaT a TiMe*
Dude. He opens up and is honest and sorry (not because he was caught) and he gets cancelled? The “victims” never even spoke out against him.
That is our current world in a nutshell. Terrible.
You're not picking up on his behavior patterns. Not a victim.
If a man says he’s an alcoholic who had been accused of rape and other sexual misconduct, we need to “cancel” them.

My dad took me to the Spy Museum. He was a good guy, but he saw a shirt that said “Deny Everything.” And he really wanted to get it. He was a journalist his whole life, so I think he knew how easily a story could be twisted. I never forgot that moment, and unfortunately examples like this are exactly why. Morgan is the reason I got into documentary, he did not need to give red meat to a misunderstanding public. Here’s a thought I had recently, Superman is supposed to be the most perfect hero, and he lies about his true identity because he knows people who are way worse than him will use it against him.
Why are you copying and pasting this comment?
Here's the thing I take away from "Supersize Me". Yes the doc wasn't 100% truthful and he did fabricate some of the claims he had against McDonalds. A big one being the claim that the food caused liver damage when we know it was his drinking. However, the doc did change the fast food industry. Restaurants like McDonalds started to include salad and a few low calorie options to their menus. Fast food also began making the calorie count available, even though that took way more time to be transparent. Even the supersize option isn't as pushed like they were before the doc. The most important thing is it did make people think about the frequency of eating fast food and that eating every day isn't healthy. As someone like myself who has had weight issues for most of my life, it did make me stop and think and I did change how I viewed eating fast food. The doc did change that industry and how people think and I believe it was for the better. As for the demons he had, those are a real challenge but I don't think they should take away what this doc did and its influence on fast food culture. RIP Mr. Spurlock.
👌 I agree! For those who said Spurlock didn't come clean about his alcoholism so his data weren't believable, he DID get health checks with 3 separate doctors and all showed he was in perfect health *including liver function* before McDonald's binge started.
So he admitted he was wrong for mistakes he made years ago, and people turned on him for it, and he lost everything? Wow.
Reminds me to leave my skeletons right where they are.
I had no idea he died, wow
It’s so sad how his career ended☹
I hate this cancel culture B.S. He was trying to do better 😒
At least he owned up to what he did.
I think that was big of him.
I would like to see his 30 Days series available to stream. It was taken off all platforms, and it was very well done.
So Morgan's admission of past inappropriate sexual conduct led to his failure? People are so judgemental and non-forgiving ... as if they are perfect. Time to get off your high horse, critics. RIP Morgan - we thank you for your inspirations.
🥀R.I.P.✨️Mr.🍟Spurlock...💯✔️
I remember watching super size me when it first came out and questioning a lot of the claims in it. And all what happened to me was I got called names, got told that I’m a fat lazy fast food loving loser, that I bow down to corporations and so on. Now cut to today and everybody knows super size me wasn’t accurate at all and that he bullshitted most of his numbers.
Unfortunately, in our world, you are not wrong until it is proven that you are wrong, or if you admit to it. Sure if you have done something heinous and you feel guilty about it, its going to haunt you. So just make the best decisions you can and don't look back. Don't look too far ahead either. Just focus on being a kind person to yourself, your environment, and others, in the present moment. The only thing you actually have any control of. Try not to burn your own house down. Be prepared for anything, at this point, anything could happen.
Bro canceled himself, shame someone can get punished so hard for wanting to be honest with the world.
@Tomy_Yon
He manipulated the research, he almost won an Oscar for best documentary for a lie. He's only famous for being a fraud. He was the one who canceled himself, he brought up unprovoked and admitted to some of them.
Don't rape.
We don’t need honesty, just likes.
@@Chelaxim 🥱 Like fast food is healthy for you!
@@Tomy_Yon”woke”? Bro you need mental help.
0:25 You do know that a lot of the issues he was having was a result of his alcoholism before, during, and after the super size me thing, right? There is a video on UA-cam that debunks most of his movie and points out that his alcohol abuse was the cause of many of the symptoms he attributed to McDonald.
Addiction doesn't make you a dick. It means you arent coping with life. Unfortunately the money wasted on whatever addiction you have, perpetuates the downward spiral of guilt, hopelessness, and depression that are partners of addiction
For 20 years I've been scratching my head at how people could be so gullible as to believe Spurlock's lies in that movie. I'm amazed some people still defend it.
So he canceled himself? What a fool. He should have asked me I could have told him not to do it. May he be in peace now.
I recall he also produced the 2014 showtime series 7 deadly sins if I’m not mistaking which was dark in its own right.
Life is just full of pain and suffering I wish I was never born :(
My condolences
He was a major alcoholic during super size me. Thats why his liver was trashed
Yes that was the implication genius. What next you can explain to everybody how the sky is blue or rain is actually a water. Why are you wasting time here I'm sure your invitation to Mensa is already in the mail. Go check!
@@apathyguy8338fuck is wrong with you, do you have PMS or are you just a passive aggressive asshole
We all saw the video. Literally says it in the video.
McDonalds should have a 30 day challenge to prove you would feel better eating their food instead of the other crap people consume.
@@apathyguy8338geez, no need to be such a b**ch about it.🙄
So he was a con-artist. He made millions off of spinning a tale about fast food damaging his body, when in reality he was an alcoholic. This is akin to doing a documentary/experiment on the lung damage from smoking pot but in reality chainsmoking cigarettes away from the camera.
Really he was smoking cigarettes the entire time he wasn’t even smoking weed
The point of Super Size Me was to point out how easy it is to make something appear to be something it is not, like McNasty does on the daily. Sorry if you missed the point.
@@JamesBond-st4qu that literally was NOT the point. You need to actually watch it. It's 99% about the negative health aspects of eating nothing but McDonald's for an extended period of time, getting the absolute largest sizes they had at the time.
@@mephistro So why didn't he just eat salad and bottled water every day which McDonald's was offering at the time.
No sane person would defend McDonalds as if it’s not food made in a lab and is the equivalent of poison.
I liked his documentaries. How he lived his life is his own affair. So I won't comment on it at all. But I did think highly of his two documentaries. I enjoyed them both. They opened my eyes and I learned a lot. So thanks for making them, Morgan. RIP. I will leave it at that.
God, that 'Who Rules the World' thing sounds cringe as hell. Good thing it got cancelled.
This is the one time I would say just keep your mouth shut and just make a change through doing! Very sad about his ending though…😢
“Super Size Me” is a misleading film because the liver issue pointed out in Spurlock was likely attributed to alcoholism and not fast food consumption. In hindsight, I’m surprised so many people were intrigued and surprised by what they saw in that film. Fast food being unhealthy for you has been known for like the longest time. Regardless of all this, may he rest in peace.
Fast food is the number one cause of increasing nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in the US. Too much fat and carbs/sugar stress the liver. I'm sure that his drinking contributed but I think his findings about McD's were legit...corporations spend billions on finding ways to make you crave their food.
"In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king." ~ Erasmus
He didn't say it was "unhealthy." He claimed it caused fatness. Totally different lie. Much, much more despicable. RIH, Spurlock.
Not true at all. All that high fructose corn syrup is horrible for the liver.
I really like this guy and truly believe he was struggling to be the best man he could be. My heart goes out to his family and friends.
Drunk, ideological idiot.
Saw him the first time as one of the presenters in "I bet you will" and eventually watched his fast food documentary in school. What a flashback to my childhood.
RIP Morgan Spurlock
He has publicly said in a BBC interview that he cheated on every wife and every girlfriend he ever had. And there were a lot of them. He also said in that same interview that he settled several SA allegations.

I was really shocked to hear the death of Spurlock ,because I remember well his Super size me that I saw back in 2004.I thought maybe his cancer was due to his experiments he did in his movies about fast food but it seems because of alcohol ?Alcohol is known to be cancerigene if we drink a lot ....Eating fast food on a daily basis is unhealthy too.I am lebanese and let me tell you middle eastern and in general the mediterranean diet that relies a lot on olive oil ,for example, is a much healthier diet.Everybody should cook most of the time at home and fast food like McDonald's and other like stores should be places where we go only on occasion...I remember Spurlock eating McDonald's 3 times everyday for 30 days in his movie was a painfull and even nauseating experience
His confession was self-serving and didn’t consider the further hurts to his victims
The confession certainly didn't seem to "serve him", did it, stupid?
Super Size Me seemed misleading enough, but I completely wrote him off after that "30 Days" show. Then he made fun of those school kids...what a guy.
RIP and my deepest condolences to his loved ones. He accomplished Very Much and inspired many Thank You, Morgan
I was over this dude after he lied about Super Size Me…🤷🏿♂️
I haven’t had McDs in a few days; When I heard the tragic news I cried for the rest of the day; I’m aware of the misconduct and the lies and I was aware he was *“cancelled”* and I was and am so disgusted by it all…idc what people think of him I’m very sad he’s gone…regardless of the details he deserved Peace; Farewell Morgan;😢
For him?
I liked what I saw of Morgan Spurlock, and felt sad two days ago when I heard he passed away. That's why I'm watching here.
never heard any of the negative shit of hgim prob cuz im not inbred americuhhhh reEEEEE
1. He admits to sexual harassment by things he "said"
2. The media comes out and attacks him destroying his life
3. He dies and then they make the rounds praising hin for his honesty and work
Either way the media was able to monetize his downfall and death by attracting eyeballs to their content about him
RIP Morgan, you had a troubled life, but I hope you're at peace now.
When he was having all those side effects from eating McDonald’s like the shakes, nausea and body aches, he was really having withdrawals from alcohol. He’s a phony. And though I’m sure he meant well, he wasn’t honest and a fraud.
are you suggesting he faked his death!?
Bingo
This is all Michael Moore's fault. He made being an unhealthy liar look easy.
Just the latest example of a narcissist full of crap. Nothing is real. We are all so tired of this stuff.
It's really sad, how all of this played out. In particular all of those people that lost their jobs because of his confession. It's like... I guess being punished for trying to be better, or in the coworkers' case, being punished because someone ELSE was trying to be better. He could have stayed silent, could have done the wrong thing, and then things would have turned out better for everyone else.
Lesson for today kids, newer ewer share everything with media :D Leave something for yourself :) R.I.P GENIUS
The lesson..don’t confess to anything
Decades ago he admits making a mistake, and people gaslight him. People are garbage these days, along with Social Media.
That's the only reason his name is being mentioned now is supersize me. Misleading millions for personal gain.
Won't be any tear shed here.
I see it the opposite way people just pointing out the documentary is flawed due to his deception and lies add in to that the other issues it does paint him in a negative light that's not gaslighting it's just a fact
He purposely ate more than he wanted in supersize me.
he seemed to me like a mostly well meaning guy, it's honestly a shame he shot himself in the foot like that, social media isn't exactly open to nuance discussion/opinion, lot of hiveminded takedowns , i watched a lot of his stuff and never got the impression that he was a malicious person, i was a bit upset to see people not mourning him as much as i thought he deserved, but oh well
Never kick a man unless he's down.
Nailed it
And never kick your liver when it’s down! His doctor warned him!
Cry about it.
Well, he’s dead. Not down.
How do ANY of us know the truth? Have you not seen all these young athletes dropping dead after they were forced to comply? It's affected my very only family, don't bother calling me a conspiracy theorist as you too, or soon may lose some loved ones that "complied".
If you’re experiencing any sort of depression absolutely get away from alcohol!!! Immediately seek treatment it will completely turn your life around!! I know…. 😊
I never did believe all those claims in SSM, instinctively I knew it was all 💩! There was always obviously more to his health claims I always thought it was narcotics, but now we know it was his alcoholism. When I was younger I used to eat McDonald's nearly every other day. I was slimmer and healthier when I was eating McDonald's regularly, so I knew Morgan was full of 💩, but he was very good looking, he looked like a gay porn star, you know the All American Male!🤯 RIP Morgan 🙏🏻
You don't sound any more reliable to be honest. You ate McDonalds every other day.....why? That says a lot about you right there.
@@johnrogers7309 Yeah it what it says is I enjoyed McDonald's, it had no adverse effect on my health, weight, etc. Back then it was also a lot cheaper to eat at McDonald's than what it was to buy groceries, but McDonald's is expensive now, especially after the lockdown. I may not be the most reliable of people, but at least I'm honest!? 🍔😁
He was con. Supersize me is full of Bullshite.
Alcohol is poison.
And legal. Caffeine a drug too..
A friend of mine died at 46 because he drank everyday since he was 16. Of course he died of liver damage. He was a functioning alcoholic.Once he found out it was too late. There were times he didnt drink for a few days. But in the end he died a slow death.
It was an alcoholic that was his issue
Good video.
Even if Spurlock exaggerated the effect of his 30 day experiment, fast food truly is terrible for your health. Any time the media turns against an individual who damages the public perception of a powerful industry, we should consider the possibility that the industry is tipping the media scales against that individual to take pressure off themselves.
Lol but fast food isn't even food. Its highly processed food and it's trash. 🤷♂️
So when a man admits he’s part of the problem and confesses his sins, we punish him further? That’s f’d he was admitting it! He was a voice for change among men and we kick him while he’s down trying to make it right?!?? This world is dumb af
People suck.
It sure is
Never EVER admit you were wrong. Never apologize. The woke mob will use that to eat you alive.
We didn't always crucify people like this. This is a much newer way of thinking over the last decade. All these so called movements like me too Support canceling people forever. Terrible people really.
You are not recognizing this guy's profile.
That's really sad. I didn't know any of those things. Makes me wonder if it really was cancer that took his life. That's a lot of loss and failure to deal with.
Dude lied about all that stuff.
Who would have thought publicly admitting to sexual misconduct would be a detriment to family and career?
Alcoholics have delusion of grandeur
He had to have known it would lead to that. He probably couldn't stand the guilt anymore.
@swede right, so why don't you be be the first to hire a raging alcoholic as an employee and leave him alone with your daughter ? I didn't think so virtue signaler
He believed that the "Me Too" movement was actually about changing world dynamics and societal norms to move forward to a better world. Sadly, he didn't know that it was about none of that. It was about a bunch of angry women looking for people to lash out at in order for them to play the moral victim. It brought zero progression and turned into a sadistic joke of its own.
The sad price of working in a gutless corporate world
Super Size Me 2 was a brilliant doco. It was an excellent expose of the cruelty the chicken industry dishes out to both animals and humans.
That doctor that said quit pickling your liver also said not even 5 sentences later that if you were an alcoholic i would tell you to quit drinking or your gonna die. Wow he knew he had health issues to begin with and used that condition as a way to produce fast unhealthy results. That doctor didnt know he was an alcoholic because thats not his primary physician that sees him and is up to date on his health these doctors were specifically picked proxies solely for their title and professional diagnosis. They knew something was wrong he just didnt tell them the truth.
I was shocked to hear he had recently died. I think more than the cancer or the liver, Spurlock died of a broken heart. The eternal shaming and shunning. The phony friends who turned their backs on him in his dark hour. Endless brilliant projects scrapped and the people they were intended to help screwed over. The realization that despite owning his mistakes and showing a real commitment to do better, nobody was going to give him a second chance. The stress and anxiety this caused probably aggravated his depression and liver problems, spurring on the cancer that killed him.
Is it really justice to make a sinner bankrupt and unemployable, denying them the opportunity to live to their full potential, especially when it can benefit society as a whole?
If he can’t figure out that sugar, highly processed junk food and alcohol are bad for you what makes him think anyone is gonna listen to him?
Many ppl did.
So the family wanted attention announcing his death, but doesn’t want to say what kind of cancer he had?
Announcing the death of a family member when you've probably got the likes of TMZ peering through your letterbox is hardly "wanting attention'.
The guy had serious flaws but his film woke a lot of people up to the fast food industry. He was a talented film maker. Watch 'Where In The World Is Osama Bin Laden?'.
Granted he deserved the consequences of his actions in regards to his behaviour with women. But surely it's better that he admitted to being part of the problem than just burying it and getting super injunctions like many celebs do?.
Some major hypocrites on this thread who act like they haven't done one shady thing in their lives. He did some sh*tty things that he obviously regretted. If you can't see the difference between this guy and scumbags like Harvey Weinstein then that's your problem.
The guy's dead at 53, he has loved ones and children who will miss him. But still some people want to spit on his grave! W⚓'s
If I would guess, it was most likely his alcohol addiction that caused his early death. But, millions others are doing the same sad thing. So maybe Morgan's death could start a second world wide intervention, for people to drink less.
"I haven't been sober for more than a week in 30 years", so he was drinking while shooting "Supersize Me"?
Of course!
Never, ever confess to anything especially if you're guilty.
Twit-longer?
Explain why he gained almost 25 lbs and his cholesterol went through the roof in 30 days from only eating McDonalds? Explain why his liver tests were normal by three different doctors before starting his McDonald's diet? "The prevalence of NAFLD in 1990 was 18.2% with a forecasted prevalence rate in 2040 to be 55.7%."
A supersized coke has so much sugar and caffeine, you become addicted to it. The withdrawal symptoms are anxiety and depression
So basically his health problems were mostly due to his excessive drinking and he passed them off as due to an unhealthy diet. Really annoying but I guess he needed something to do a documentary about.
no. have a look at other people in reality that aren't on TV or in documentaries. the ones that eat this way are on their way to the grave. but go ahead and make it ok, no my problem. me and mine will not be eating this crap.
@@alchemicalvisionstudios3969 good for you loser.
@@alchemicalvisionstudios3969 Stop. Everyone knows fast food isn't healthy. Don't give a lying alcoholic credit just because it matches your world view that makes you dim.
Well, McDonalds is also shitty food, making a few people rich while people die from its consumption. So lets keep THAT in mind too.
@@johnrogers7309 Dude was a liar, McDonalds has shitty food. KeEp ThAt In MiNd!
given his alcohol use, pancreatic cancer?
Can depression for some people be mostly chemical instead of community and family history?
Yeah, that's the difference between clinical and situational depression.
Almost 100% of people will get periods of depression at difficult times in their lives (situational)
But for those who suffer with clinical depression it's chemical imbalances in the brain in regards to serotonin and dopamine levels. You can be a millionaire, have a beautiful partner and family yet still feel empty. Depression isn't like feeling sad which is a normal emotion. You feel horrendously flat.
Hobbies you used to like do nothing for you, you don't find things you used to laugh at funny anymore, even terribly sad things that would once have made you cry, now you feel nothing. You emotionally flatline, you feel worthless, a burdern. It's the worst feeling in the world.
Anti-depressants can help, but it can take a long time to find the right one for you, the same goes for psychiatrists. The most important thing is to have friends and loved ones who understand that you don't want to be like this, who will keep asking you to go out for a coffee even though you've said no for the last 50 times. You don't want people around you even though you're chronically lonely.
It's a dark place and we lose too many people to it. Suicide is the No.1 cause of death of men between 20 and 55. And it's increasing in women too, the one difference is they are more likely to open up and talk than men do.
Talk to your friends, give that person you haven't seen for a few months a ring. They may push you away but there will be a time when they may open up, that's where you can save a life
