Yes. But if you hit the gym and do enough cardio & weights that you're burning all the calories from McDonalds and don't have other underlying health issues, even three daily Super Sized meals won't impact your weight.

Body builders need to consume a ridiculous amount of calories. While you're unlikely to bulk up from McDonalds and be as cut as you'd be from chicken and broccoli every three hours you won't get fan and unhealthy...

Weight gain/loss is a bit more than calories in and out. That's just the baseline. The others also altered some of the choices made; like less sugary drinks or fries. It was the specific fact that the person who made the 'documentary' would always super size, consumed large amounts of soda and sodium, and was also a bit of an alcoholic.

Wouldn't that depend on the type and amount of legos swallowed? Lego heads are one of the smallest and smoothest pieces, of course they don't pose much danger. My idiot nephew swallowed a lego treasure chest and ended up with a cut on his esophagus.

True, though I think the fact that he didn’t exercise made it more relevant. The 1990s and early 2000s were the peak of sedentary lifestyle change in the US. The average American then, and probably today, would probably have more similar results to Morgan than someone who did the 1+hour a day exercise required to offset it.
