    There are always many contributing factors to our health. I last had fast food of any kind in 1999, and soda too with a rare exception in 2006. But, I had my first heart attack in 2007 while sporting awesome nutrition numbers. They chalked it up to my sedentary lifestyle and genetics.

    RIP, but I can't help point out (2:24) his liver was in bad shape because he (admittingly) drank heavy amounts of alcohol during this experiment. He flat out lied and said he wasn't drinking alcohol, but much later admitted he did when people doing the same experiment proved it didn't affect the liver to the degree depicted in the film. Everyone already knows fast food in high quantities without exercise is bad, but he mislead everyone to make it much worse than it was.

      He felt like he had to hide it because he lied. The whole documentary is manipulative rubbish.

He harassed and abused women on his sets and in the work place McDonald’s spoke of his alcoholic health issues and how he lied and exaggerated in his movie. Hope Morgan finds peace in his new life. A McDonald’s spokesman mentioned He divorced his current wife whilst on his death bed which speaks volumes of his sad life and is very telling of the type of person he was according to the McDonald’s press people

      It appears he and his wife settled their divorce amicably in February, so I don't know that qualifies as literally "on his deathbed".

    I’m saddened to see this remembrance video of Morgan Spurlock here on Dave’s channel. Spurlock openly admitted to being a sexual abuser and predator in a 2017 blog post. While it’s good to come clean it doesnt change what he did… and when you do something that’s kills, abuses or violates another person then you lose the dignity to be remembered for your good deeds and artistry. I enjoyed some of Spurlock’s work but his negative actions erase him as an artist in my eyes… He’s now only an abuser/ predator. I hope that those in charge of David Letterman’s channel (be it Dave or anyone else) would reconsider remembering people who’ve passed away but who abused, hurt, etc innocent people.
