If you’re looking to revisit Morgan Spurlock‘s “Super Size Me” following the news of the documentary filmmaker’s death on Thursday morning, you can stream the Oscar-nominated doc on Peacock.
Spurlock, who captured his own psychological and physical symptoms from eating McDonald’s every day for a month in the 2004 feature film, died on Thursday morning due to complications from cancer at the age of 53. Throughout the film, the rules also included the stipulation that Spurlock could not refuse the “super-size” option if prompted during the transaction.
By the end of the experiment, which also saw the filmmaker exercise less to match the average American’s physical activity, Spurlock claimed that he gained 25 pounds and suffered from depression and liver dysfunction. “Super Size Me” captured the zeitgeist when it released in 2004, grossing $22 million at the global box office and sparking a conversation about how the fast food industry encourage poor nutrition among the general public.
McDonald’s discontinued its “super-size” option in the time following its release. Though the doc is still utilized as an educational aide in some school health classes, it has also sparked debate over its accuracy in the years since, with some criticism citing Spurlock refusing to publicly share his diet log from filming.
