Further stating: "I’ve consistently been drinking since the age of 13. I haven’t been sober for more than a week in 30 years.” Mr. Spurlock’s 2017 confession contradicts the statement in Supersize Me where he tells the doctor at the beginning that he has no alcohol use.

Could it be that he made a Shock Value False-Documentary in order to gain some measure of success and fame? Naaaah. Who would do that?! TLDR: The Super Size Me "documentary" should never be used as evidence of anything. I hate that movie. It's not the least bit helpful in fighting obesity and, in fact, he tend to mock the obese in it. [/QUOTE]
