You can’t survive on McDonalds

Morgan Spurlock decided to see if a person could survive on a diet of nothing but McDonalds food in his new documentary “Super Size Me”. Despite gaining 25 pounds he was actually killing himself:
Within a few days of beginning his drive-through diet, Spurlock, 33, was vomiting out the window of his car, and doctors who examined him were shocked at how rapidly Spurlock’s entire body deteriorated.
“It was really crazy - my body basically fell apart over the course of 30 days,” Spurlock told The Post.
His liver became toxic, his cholesterol shot up from a low 165 to 230, his libido flagged and he suffered headaches and depression.

Spurlock was eating McDonalds three times a day which, to most, probably seems like a horrific amount, a volume no one in their right mind would consume unless they were on just such a mission. You’d be wrong:
Clare Kimmerle is 79. She’s worked at the same McDonald’s in Southampton, Bucks County, for nearly 33 years - since the day it opened.
…
Clare has many friends whom she greets daily. Regulars eat there every day, often twice. Even three times.“This place is like Cheers,” said Bill Dreyfuss, who was in for breakfast on Thursday (and again for lunch, and quite possibly dinner). Dreyfuss owns a warehouse nearby and knows all the workers. “I’ve been married 29 years,” he said. “My wife has made dinner six times. Do you know how much fast food we eat? And when this place is closed on holidays, I buy it the day before.” (He will microwave it the next day.)
