    Spurlock’s film follows a 30-day period from February 1 to March 2, 2003, during which he claimed to only consume McDonald’s food, although he later disclosed he was also drinking heavily.

      He also talks about how he was vegan early in the documentary, not long before the iconic ‘getting a burger for the first time and throwing up in the parking lot’ scene.
