Super Size Me

Morgan makes it all 30 days, eats super sized meals 9 times (5 times in Texas). His cholesterol goes way up, all his electrolytes go way off the charts, at one point he was having chest pains. McDonalds reps refuse to talk to him, ever. He puts on about 30 pounds, takes him 8 weeks to return to normal blood chemistry, and 6 months for him to return to his original weight.

Factual error: Morgan says that french fries are one of the seven items on McDonalds menu that doesn't contain sugar. French fries, in fact, do contain dextrose - a form of sugar. This is mentioned on DVD commentary.

Morgan Spurlock: I consumed over thirty pounds of sugar. That's an average of a pound of sugar a day.
