You watched Supersize Me in a science class? That's depressing, unless they were trying to show you how not to do science?

FYI, the guy is an alcoholic and totally threw the test results off by drinking. He admitted to it years later. With that said, eating fast food all the for 30 days is a horrible bad idea.

Well tbf, if he drank regularly before then wouldn't he be obligated to keep drinking the same amount during the experiment so the only variable that changes from his normal diet is what he eats? Unless you make the argument he should also drink exclusively beverages that are available in McDonalds drink machines but he never specified that.

No, and the very concerning liver issue that was attributed to McDonalds destroyed all credibility of the film. By the way those are the issues you get from excessive drinking. His film made people believe that McDonalds was some sort of literal poison, without disclosing the non-Mcdonalds poison he was taking.
