What was happening?The guy eating McDonald's every day for a documentary failed to disclose that he was an active alcoholic.

I feel like its a bit of a no shit statement that eating fast food every day all day for 30 days probably wouldn't be the best for you.
Even ignoring the liquor, I feel like its a bit of a no shit statement that eating fast food every day all day for 30 days probably wouldn't be the best for you.
You say that, but have a 5 minute conversation with your colleagues on diet and you'll get an alarmingly wide range of responses on what constitutes healthy eatingYou could try asking a proper source for dietary advice and not "your colleagues".

That movie was karma for that old lady that got dragged through the mud publicly for that hot coffee lawsuit imo
Showed that the little guys could also dish it out
Now if only it did anything about all the people unconnected to McDonalds that did and still do mock her over it and the government that made it harder to sue over things like this because it was frivolous.That's one of those rare cases where you can trace exactly how much someone knows by their opinion.

Anyone watch his follow up docu around chickens? That one was pretty good and seemed more genuine and less gimmicky.I always forget about the sequel. By then he had completely destroyed his reputation tbh
And then pinned all the physical symptoms of what he was experiencing from alcohol withdrawal to the McDonald's diet he had been exclusively existing (supposedly) on.He also never released a food log. So it cant be confirmed what he actually ateor drank.

The point is that "No-shit" and "it's just common sense" doesn't work when most people's sense of healthy eating is wildly misalignedWhile people tend to have misaligned sense of healthy eating in general, fast food being unhealthy is pretty much a common sense thing.
While people tend to have misaligned sense of healthy eating in general, fast food being unhealthy is pretty much a common sense thing.You're getting too specific, Pinky's arguing more a generalized "common knowledge/sense isn't common," I think.
You're getting too specific, Pinky's arguing more a generalized "common knowledge/sense isn't common," I think.The post he originally responded to was saying that eating fast food for 30 days straight being unhealthy was "no shit" statement, though.
The post he originally responded to was saying that eating fast food for 30 days straight being unhealthy was "no shit" statement, though.And you would be appalled and dismayed at how many people either don't know or don't care about that.
All we know is he claimed to be eating only supersize meals, but even then he added stuff like ice cream and desserts which was not part of the supersize meal. He would eat well past the point of being full.
And you would be appalled and dismayed at how many people either don't know or don't care about that.Common doesn't mean 100%. Even if you can find people who think fast food is healthy, it can still be "common" sense. You can pretty much take any "common sense" or "no shit" thing and there will be at least one guy to try to argue against it.

When it comes to biology & medical issues, including diet, common sense doesn't apply. If it did, you wouldn't have enormous industries dedicated to telling people what to eat. There wouldn't be government bureaus in every country in the world dedicated to this. There's a lot of weird and unintuitive things that common sense wouldn't pick up on.I know that healthy diet in general isn't a fully common sense thing in general, that's not what this is about. Fast food being unhealthy is a well known fact. That's what Pinky originally responded to.
People these days still don't really understand that orange juice is not healthy. The common sense approach goes "Fruit & vitamin C must be healthy!"

That was not the claim. The rules of the documentary were:Youre correct, my mistake. The greater issue is that without a food log we dont know exactly what he ate, only what we see on screen.
1. Three meals a day, only from McDonald's
2. Had to order everything off the menu at least once
3. Must super size if asked. Cannot ask for it proactively
4. Must maintain a level of physical activity equivalent to an average American
Now I don't think he faithfully did all of that but I do think he tried. I guess point being was that he had to get the ice cream at some point in this challenge because it was on the menu.
