In 2004, Spurlock captivated audiences with his daring experiment in “Super Size Me,” where he consumed only McDonald’s food for thirty days straight. The documentary shed light on the fast food industry’s impact on nutrition and health, leading to widespread changes, including the removal of the “super-size” option by McDonald’s.
