I think he did a pretty good job of waking some people up to the idea corporations are poisoning us. he got me to stop eating mcdonalds
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.
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.
