He did have a positive influence, even if his documentaries were sensationalized somewhat. RIP. It's not easy producing a Successful Doc. He did what many tried and failed at.
Somewhat sensationalized? The man was a massive alcoholic and portrayed his failing health from his alcohol abuse as the direct result of eating fast food for 30 days.
He was a fraud who deceived people, and anyone praising him is a moron.
So McDonalds is healthy? And is eating only McDonalds for 30 days worse today or 20 yrs ago? That's crazy, he died almost 20 yrs to the day from Super Size Me release date.
It can be, if you have some self discipline and can control your portions.

I didn't hear about that documentary, is it on Netflix also?
That’s your comeback? “What have you done?” Like that matters.
A dead fraud is still a fraud. But apparently to you, being duped by a conman is a badge of honor.
He was a liar and a con man, nothing in that documentary was even remotely reliable information.
Spurlock never documented what he ate during filming. His results aren't able to be replicated, making the entire experiment inconclusive and the experiment too flawed to be able to be taken as legitimate proof.
You were conned by a slick liar.
He was probably directly inspired by Michael Moore's style of "informative" documentary film making, i.e. emphasizing humor + emotional pull in place of raw data.
Inspired by the same grift Moore used, half-truths, outright falsehoods, and a subject certain to get attention from the right people with money.
