Actually, it is mostly a publicity stunt for the filmmaker.
In fact, in order to demonstrate that it was just another attempt to
shift responsibility for all our personal problems to "Them", a
different person made a point of eating every meal at McDonalds for a
month and lost weight.
The "modern diet" does not consist of eating every meal at fast food
restaurants, and straw man arguments don't get us anywhere.
