They say some lies are to be taken to the grave. Were those the sentiments of filmmaker Morgan Spurlock, who recently passed due to cancer at just 53 years old? While many have him to thank for making them reconsider their choice of grub and even providing unforgettable entertainment, our friends at McDonald’s may feel a little differently.
Back in 2004, director Morgan Spurlock turned heads and dropped jaws with his documentary "Super Size Me." It was a total eye-opener, showing the world just how iffy McDonald’s food could be. The movie really gets into the thick of the American obesity issue, spinning around a pretty wild stunt where Spurlock eats nothing but McDonald’s grub, breakfast, lunch, and dinner, to see what it does to him.
While he hit some truths about the fast food world, it looks like some of the drama in Spurlock’s experiment might have been played up for the cameras. Today, we're going to sift through "Super Size Me" and uncover what was really up with that experiment.
