  1. Holy wow, was just thinking about this dude. Sad to see, he was young

  2. I had no idea he was sick.

    Any have more details past cancer?

  3. Wow there was a post the other day about how he hid alcoholism during supersize me which tainted the results of the video. RIP

  5. I hate being *that guy* but was it cancer or “cancer”? The dude was an extreme alcoholic since he was a literal child and his health was already so poor that he lied about his liver problems when making Super Size Me and blamed it on Big Macs.

  6. Here come the Mcdonald jokes. RIP to a legend film maker!

  8. My guess would be pancreatic, colon, or liver cancer. Alcohol makes it easier to absorb oxidant metals like iron. Cancer cells need nine times the amount of iron to split vs a regular cell.

  9. Damn that’s pretty young, work to live and not live to work, you don’t know when your last day will be.

  10. Well, Super Size Coffin is going to be an interesting experiment now isn’t it?

  11. RIP. I really think he tried to help people and he did.

    It’s an awkward fact that most people don’t understand risk. If he had made a documentary about the long term effects of eating McDonald’s and how asking people if they wanted to supersize was psychologically manipulative no one would listen.

    Telling people McDonald’s is gonna kill you next week if you eat it every day is a lie, but like…people can’t eat McDonald’s every day and be healthy.

    His documentary really changed how fast food worked, and for the better. So maybe the end justified the means because fuck McDonald’s honestly.

  12. Thank you for teaching me eating McDonalds 3 times a day was an unhealthy choice
