No, but other things about this do invalidate what he says. This is
not "a point about the fast food industry". This is a statement about
McDonalds. He titled it "supersize me". He only at at Mcdonalds. A
statement about the fast food inustry would include other major
chains.

I'm told it makes reference to the Jared Subway diet. That's unfair,
plain and simple. The "vast vast vast majority" of people who eat at
subway are not ordering what Jared ate on the Subway diet, either. A
much more targeted statement about the fast food industry would've
been to do a "Fast Food Diet" where you go to different chains and
"always order the same thing as the guy in front of you." Something
like that.

Instead, this is an (unfair) attack on a specific corporation. As a
third party you call it an attack on "the fast food industry", and
that's a myopic vantage point. If McDonald's stock drops one point
because of this, that's just unfair.

And no I don't work for even eat at mcdonalds or any other food
services corp.
