There's literally a section in the documentary where his doc is like 'You're getting liver damage from this diet. I don't believe it. I've only ever seen this from alcoholics.'

Maybe this was just the experience in my small town, but you might as well have been telling people that going to church wasn't healthy. For many small town Americans burgers were considered a healthy diet and this documentary was literally shocking.
I mean, the burgers are the healthiest part of a McD's meal. The fries and soda are far worse, as they are unsatiating, drive hunger later in the day, and have almost no nutritional value beyond pure calories.
For the burger itself, remove the bun (bleached white flour), the ketchup (hfcs), mayo (vegetable oil), and cheese (whatever tf is in that cheese), and what you have left is pretty healthy. Fresh veggies. Some grilled meat.
Not a cheese expert or anything but as for "whatever tf is in that cheese" it's usually just real cheese mixed with water and emulsifiers. Worst thing about it is likely salt content and saturated fat content, afaik not really any worse than regular cheese.
