McDonald’s isn’t good food, nor is it good for you, byt being disingenuous in what is supposed to be a documentary is also not good. Calling out a liar doesn’t mean you’re a shill for the one who’s being lied about.
Sure sure. But he got his point across which seems to require drama, more than scientific accuracy, to reach the target demo. And I’m pretty sure on that front, mission accomplished : McD had to bend over from the public outcry.
So again : who the fuck benefits from telling us, again and again from what I’ve seen in the last few months, that he wasn’t scientifically accurate and a paragon of intellectual integrity, despite his message being right?
It wasn’t “mission accomplished,” there was essentially no difference between the Supersize meals that were discontinued and the large meals that still exist to this day. The movie achieved no positive goals for the general public, and (arguably) helped solidify the general public’s perception that fat people wouldn’t be fat anymore if they stopped going to McDonalds.
No, he wasn’t lying about it being bad, he was lying about the effects it had on his body and his severe it was.
Lying to get your point across isn’t really “helping”, that’s how you sew distrust in science and documentaries. It’s straight up anti vax logic. Just because his root point was correct doesn’t make his lying good. This sort of stuff is what emboldens anti vaxers etc.
He was consuming a fuck ton of alcohol and it skewed the results of the demonstration and he kept it secret from the film and the doctors he worked with.
I don’t think McDonald’s is healthy but we don’t need to lie to make the point.
Again about this? McD shills have nothing better to do than infiltrate 4Chan now?

Hmm, this approach feels so familiar…

Lol what? “Lying about reality to get your point across is good actually!” What in the maga fashy nonsense kind of take is that?
It also doesn’t help that he didn’t actually achieve anything. Mcds is still popular, still unhealthy, and he gave people more ammo to fat shame.
He wasn’t lying about McDonalds being bad for your health. That was his point.
And just because it is still popular doesn’t mean he hasn’t converted a couple of people. Every little bit helps.
