Super Size this
Via Fark, this article in the New York Post about a filmmaker doing a documentary about eating a diet entirely of McDonald's for a month and the health problems that resulted. I was kind of skeptical about this; I lived next door to a McDonald's one year and I was never healthier. Of course I was 22 at the time and this guy, Morgan Spurlock is 33. I'm sure if I had the same diet I had when I was 22, I would put on a bunch of pounds as well. But I think this guy just has an axe to grind.
Anyway something about this seems a little fake, something just doesn't quite go together in this story:

Spurlock's girlfriend, Alex Jamieson, was horrified - she's a vegan chef.I can't put my finger on it, but this story just doesn't add up.
"She was completely disgusted by me, not happy at all," he says. "But she realized what my goals were in trying to educate people."
Spurlock, a film producer who grew up in West Virginia and studied ballet for eight years, was spurred to make his first feature film while watching TV on Thanksgiving Day, 2002.
