But the point is that he was purposefully overeating. He chose to consume that massive quantity of food and then make a story about it demonizing Mcdonalds. My point is that you can eat a lot, and not gain that much fat. He was massively overeating. It would be like if I got a gun and shot myself in the leg and said "look, guns are bad, look what it did to me".
Also, the quart of soda has about as many calories or more than a regular shake.
Mcdonalds is a business. Their job is to make shareholders money. That is the job of all businesses. How the make their money is up to them, until it directly puts people in danger. Having a wide variety of choices, some less "healthy" than others, does not make Mcdonalds bad. No one put the burger in this guy's hand. It always boils down to what the consumer does.
