The Left’s hatred of McDonald’s knows no bounds.
How do some on the left hate McDonald’s? Let us count the ways.
In 2004 a little-known filmmaker named Morgan Spurlock decided to stuff his face with McDonald’s food all day, every day, for 30 days, and capture it all on film. What happened? Surprise of surprises, Spurlock gained weight — 24 pounds, to be precise. His cholesterol level shot up to 230, and he experienced severe mood swings. He also confessed that he experienced sexual dysfunction.
Did he think eating Big Macs all day would spice up his sex life and lubricate his libido?
Why did Spurlock choose McDonald’s to make his tedious point that eating fast food for a month — while choosing not to exercise during that same period — would be bad for his health? Why didn’t he choose to eat Denny’s Grand Slam Breakfasts all day? Or Jimmy John’s subs? Or Sabrett’s hot dogs from New York City street vendors?
Because that would have made Spurlock weird, as opposed to just plain opportunistic.
And why did Spurlock choose to eat all the really fattening stuff on the McDonald’s menu, and not the good stuff? He could have eaten salads and only salads, with Diet Cokes and water if he’d cared to. And dropped weight, and his cholesterol too, if he walked a mile or two every day.
But Spurlock wasn’t interested in promoting good dieting or health. He was too busy promoting himself.
