I agree, the original article offered several clues as to how overblown the
process was -- I suspect in order to make the very point that they did make.
The article mentioned that Mr. Spurlock's girlfriend is a vegan chef. My
strong suspicion is that Mr. Spurlock's routine diet was very light on meat
of any kind. Eating one meal per day at McDonald's would probably have been
enough to make him sick. Also, his system was likely accustomed to a
substantially smaller daily quantity than is contained in three McDonald's
per day. Had he been required to simply double the quantity of vegan or
near vegan foods he was accustomed to, his body still would have likely
revolted, although probably not with quite the degree of deleterious
effects. Being required to accept "supersize" whenever offered is a
guaranteed loser -- McDonalds employees are *required* to offer supersize!

All in all, my take is that we're not talking about research here, we're
talking about a statement. I think he started the process wanting to make a
particular point, and figured out a way to do it, voluntarily and knowingly
making himself sick in the process.

All that having been said, nothing in my point alters the truth of what
eating a lot of McDonald's will do to you, even if you're not a vegan!
