a week later to 203,
then down to 202,

1:26:08
and now eight pounds
during the last week for 210.

1:26:13
I think we know
the damage that can be done.

1:26:19
Lisa Howard,
it's Morgan Spurlock calling..

1:26:21
I don't know how many times
we've called her now,

1:26:24
but this has got to be
the 15th time.

1:26:26
Lisa Howard, Morgan Spurlock
calling from New York.

1:26:29
Please call me
when you get this message.

1:26:30
We'd still like
to schedule an interview

1:26:33
with someone from McDonald's.
1:26:34
Please call me when you get this
1:26:36
and let's talk
about what's possible.

1:26:38
You'll not talk to anybody,
1:26:41
and you'll like it that way.
1:26:44
After six months
of deliberation,

1:26:46
Judge Robert Sweet dismissed
the lawsuit against McDonald's.

1:26:49
The big reason?
1:26:51
The two girls failed to show
1:26:53
that eating McDonald's food
was what caused their injuries.

1:26:55
Interesting.
1:26:57
In only 30 days of eating
nothing but McDonald's,

1:27:00
I gained 241/2 pounds,
my liver turned to fat,

1:27:03
and my cholesterol
shot up 65 points.

1:27:05
My body-fat percentage
went from 11% to 18%,

1:27:09
still below the national average
1:27:10
of 22% for men
and 30% for women.

1:27:12
I nearly doubled my risk
of coronary heart disease,

1:27:15
making myself twice as likely
to have heart failure.

1:27:18
I felt depressed and exhausted
most of the time.

1:27:20
My moods swung on a dime,
and my sex life was nonexistent.

1:27:24
I craved this food more and more
when I ate it

1:27:28
and got massive headaches
when I didn't.

1:27:30
In my final blood test,
1:27:31
many of my body functions
showed signs of improvement,

1:27:34
but the doctors
were less than optimistic.

1:27:38
I would very, very much doubt
1:27:39
that these numbers
will return to normal.

1:27:41
Although it did drop,
it was a small drop.

1:27:43
If you kept on the diet,
you'd definitely --

1:27:46
I know that you'd probably
develop coronary artery disease.

1:27:49
...inflammation
and hardening of the liver.

1:27:53
Should people
eat fast food?

1:27:54
No.
1:27:56
You know, the answer's no.
1:27:58
It certainly needs
to be very restricted
