At least I will die happy and not miserable in a plate of tofu, the misfit Jello.

On topic: I heard that the guy had massive kidney failure because of this.... right?
The aspect of liver failure is where my doubt lies. I believe it was affected by his feelings going into the project. Our livers have a tendency to respond to our emotions and stress, though it isn't the only organ to do so.
People are stupid... People don't realize that there isn't much, if any, value to this food except to give your stomach something to digest, and perhaps (with meat dishes) some protein and iron.
I don't think this movie will change many of their minds to make them have healthier choices. It will only cause more paranoid people to join the bandwagon to try to destroy the industry.

Basically it's a documentary experminent in which the film-maker resolves to eat nothing but McDonald's for a month. The film tracks his progress, weight gain, and crashing health. Even the physicians he consulted were surprised at just how serious the effects were. A funny and disturbing film.

The differences were they both exercised, but not intensely or for very long, they did not eat just Big Macs and Quarter Pounders, and they did not always take the advise of the cashier to supersize the meal like the other guy did.
It ain't gonna stop me from eating there.

Eventually you'll end up eating the ""WRONG"" thing, but then the other ""things"" will cancel each other out
