Liberal Lies About McDonald's

I should know better than to get all worked up over a NYPost article, but this one hits me in the gut. Morgan Spurlock made a documentary where he decided to eat only McDonald’s food for 30 days. The quote that will be used by the tree-hugging dirt-nibbling hippies:

Within a few days of beginning his drive-through diet, Spurlock, 33, was vomiting out the window of his car, and doctors who examined him were shocked at how rapidly Spurlock’s entire body deteriorated.

reads more to me like a man eating foods that cause an allergic reaction. The host site for “Super Size Me” appears to be overwhelmed so I don’t have the details of his diet, yet, but this reeks of untruth. Sure, it’s a bad idea to eat exclusively McD’s for any long time but it’s not poisonous. The key is probably realted to:

Scores of cheeseburgers, hundreds of fries and dozens of chocolate shakes later…

If my lactose-intolerant digestive system tried to process that list of food I would be hospitalized after a couple days.
