The movie is worth watching. And he doesn't necessarily gorge himself on food.

My big issue is that this represented a severe change in diet for him. His girlfriend is a vegan chef and while he wasn't a vegan himself he had a pretty controlled diet. He changed that drastically for the experiment and saw some pretty severe initial health impacts.

Then the movie glosses over the final health report he had which showed things beginning to stabilize. Nothing more compelling than an "if current trends continue" argument, but current trends hardly ever continue indefinately.

So I had some quibbles but overall it was very interesting and at times truly imformative. I found the damning of school cafeterias much more effective than the damning of McDonald's.
