| Super Size Me was the first documentary I ever watched and got me on the path to watching more of them. He was only in his 50's - I feel bad for his kids. |

+1000 Everyone’s conclusions will be eating McDonalds for a month gave him cancer. Terrible PR. And who knows, maybe it did. |

| He was a vegan and an alcoholic. Sad but he did not do himself any favors with his lifestyle. Yes, very sad for the family he left behind. |

He was living on McDonalds and booze. I'm not sure I'd blame the McDonalds |

I thought he was more concerned with heart health because of family history? Or maybe I'm confusing him with another documentarian?
Anyway, I am glad he shone a light on the ills of fast food. His other movie about "crispy" chicken made an impact on my kids, so I appreciate that about him. At least I think that was his movie... I hate that I can't remember sh*t anymore. |

That was over a DECADE ago. Anyone who thinks he "died from eating McDonalds" is an idiot. |

I’m sorry to tell you it was over two decades ago. |

| He didn’t die because he ate McDonald’s for a month. Unfortunately some people die young. Especially if they’re alcoholics. |

And he was an alcoholic who was still drinking heavily during filming. His doctor in the doc even commented that his stats were those of a long term alcoholic. He never addressed his addiction in the doc and portrayed as if eating McDs 3x a day caused the ill health. The guy who eats a big mac every day in the doc is still alive and kicking at 70+. |

Genes matter.
So does your environment when it comes to cancer. Literally every house on my parents’ street has at least one person battling a really bad cancer diagnosis. I know several vegans with cancer. I wonder if their fake food and supplements have carcinogens? |

| How would the alcoholism conteibute to cancer? Would it? I really don't know. |
