    Who would actually try this? They said that McDonalds stopped the super-size shortly after wards, so it would have been hard to replicate anyway.

      His method wasn’t specifically about eating super-size, it was just that he ate nothing but McDonald’s for a month (and probably a lot of booze according to various sources).

          That’s true, but that only amounted to 9 meals out of 90 over the month. It wasn’t really the burning issue, just a knee jerk reaction to the title of the film.

      I believe a school tested it with some volunteers, someone also challenged the original movie by eating a healthy amount of calories of just McDonald’s food.
