Once upon a time there was an unstoppable empire, glinting under golden arches, loved by millions of families around the globe. Then one day a young man decided to eat McDonald’s, and only McDonald’s, every day for 30 days. The result? He got really ill, wrote a book and made a movie about it... and the shine came off those golden arches. McDonald’s endured a whole heap of bad press, conspiracy theories and questions over how their food was made.
