Summary

In this episode, we delve into the groundbreaking 2004 documentary 'Super Size Me' directed by Morgan Spurlock. We revisit the eye-opening journey where Spurlock puts his own body on the line to investigate the effects of consuming nothing but McDonald's for 30 days. From shocking health revelations to societal critiques, 'Super Size Me' ignited a global conversation about fast food culture and its impact on public health. We'll explore the film's legacy, its influence on food policy, and how it continues to shape our perceptions of nutrition and the fast food industry. Plus we get into current events including Baltimore's Key Bridge collapse, Shohei Ohtani’s press conference and statement, P. Diddy allegations, women being punched in the face and much more. Enjoy!
