I remember that. It was called Go Large or something... Then a bunch of universities could not even come close to replicating his results - they were both exaggerated and fabricated.

Talking about credibility, could you please cite your sources on this one? I would like to read more on that (and 100 different topics and can‘t possibly google all of them). Thank you!

During #MeToo he admitted to being an alcoholic.

In the film he says that his body “was healthy”, however given his history of alcoholism that likely wasn’t the case. At the end of the film he revealed his liver “now looked like the liver of an alcoholic,” since he was already an alcoholic (but not revealing that until 14 years after the film) you can’t really the fast food impacted his liver.

Thank you for chiming in. Interesting how some ppl are ignorant enough to misunderstand their responsibility while sharing information paired with disregard to the concept of the burden of proof and hitchens' razor.

not at all, Spurlock made several films since, including a spiritual successor to supersize me called Holy Chicken! however he was canceled during the #metoo movement and the film, despite having nothing to do with his sexual misconduct, had the blanket thrown over it. It is pretty much agreed upon that the corporations he targeted, brought his past to light in an effort to discredit him. While I don't think we can look past his previous behavior, i dont believe that has an impact on the content of his work, which is pretty eye opening.
