Didn't he later reveal he was a massive alcoholic during the documentary? Hence the doctor being shocked at his elevated liver enzymes or mild liver damage.

That might be true but I'm baffled that people are doing revisionist history and saying that like somehow he was a bad guy for getting mcdonald's to stop offering 64 oz of 90% sugar 10% water drinks alongside a 4000 calorie burger and fries for $.50 extra.

Oh I don't know anything about that. I think he seems to be a piece of shit - he's been accused of (and confessed to) abusing and sexually harassing his staff, and the core thesis of his documentary is dud - but if his work led to some good that's a positive.

I watched it growing up but alcoholism aside, the idea that eating 3000+ calories of McSlop every day for every meal for years is deleterious to your health seems pretty uncontroversial.

I think it's within the realm of controversial. Researchers haven't been able to replicate the negative health effects he ostensibly suffered. If you're eating at calorie maintenance (or deficit) and meeting your nutritional needs, why would 100% beef with lettuce and cheese and bread cause liver failure? He was an abusive alcoholic Yank who saw a way to make cheap bucks and ran with it.
Oh, well, at 5k+ calories you're probably right. I thought he was eating at maintenance level, but he wasn't. I think I'm remembering a similar attempt to eat a normal level of calories in fast food.

aye, most critisms to McNiggers ive heard revolve around how it doesnt really decompose much, but thats basically just due to a high grease content.
Actual critisms i have though is that the people in the kitchen are primarily blacks, at least in the US, which implies a low level of hygiene.
then theres the fact that the cheapness of the food implies the meat used is very possibly questionable if it even is meat in the first place.

No yeah, the premise of his documentary was "what if you ate 3 square meals per day but every meal is a Mcdonald's Value meal, if they ask about supersizing you have to supersize. do you die? what happens?? does Mcdonald's even care???"

Many of the health effects he suffered in the film were because of alcoholism, but having Swedish med students eat 6k calories a day for one month, with the caveat that they would pull out anyone who got too fat, is unpersuasive in demonstrating the long-term impact of the diet. The human body can withstand a lot of short term pain and you generally don't get diabetes or a heart attack in a month. But like clearly the super size option is a demented thing whose absence has not been missed.
