Well, strictly speaking, yes, it does. As a scientific experiment, at
least. "I ate at McDonald's 3X a day and chose what I clearly knew was
unhealthy and got sick" is interesting as perfomance art but is not a
controlled test or unbiased study of fast-food marketplace. It's a lot
more *fun* (to observe) than an investigative report, but it validates
nothing except that to stuff your face with high-fat, high-calorie
food isn't good for you. The same thing Health Professionals and
Nutritionists have been telling everyone for years.
