    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.

        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.
