No one was able to replicate the level of health complications from the movie. Apparently he was a raging alcoholic.
Alcohol kills. McDonalds is just sorta bad.
Who would actually try this? They said that McDonalds stopped the super-size shortly after wards, so it would have been hard to replicate anyway.
His method wasn't specifically about eating super-size, it was just that he ate nothing but McDonald's for a month (and probably a lot of booze according to various sources).
Whenever they tried to upsell him (super size, pie, shake, etc) he said yes
That's true, but that only amounted to 9 meals out of 90 over the month. It wasn't really the burning issue, just a knee jerk reaction to the title of the film.
