I’m sure most of us remember ‘Supersize Me’ from back in the 00s where documentary maker Morgan Spurlock attempted to eat only McDonald’s food for a month and ended up almost dying, so it makes sense that a new hero would emerge for this generation in the form of Seamus Murphy.

Murphy refers to himself as ‘The Colonel’ and is attempting to eat a KFC Zinger Box meal every day for 100 days straight in the name of the Black Dog Institute over in Australia – the only dedicate medical research institute over there investigating mental health. He’s encouraging fans to donate to the organisation as well as check in on their friends and see how they’re doing during the continuing global pandemic.
This being 2020, The Colonel doesn’t need to make a feature length documentary to showcase his challenge but is instead filming it every day on his TikTok account. He’s currently 45 days into the feat and says that he’s only gained 1 kilogram from it, claiming that because he’s an athlete he’s been training his entire life for this and should be OK.
Here’s what he had to say (along with some selected highlights):

Everyone’s saying my arteries are going to clog up.
Don’t worry about it! She’ll be right.
My hearts been through a fair bit. In the last 10 years, I’ve been training for this.
I don’t want people sending me money for food when there’s people out there that need money for food more than I do.
My good mate Dools has a Black Dog Institute page set up for his mullet he’s growing. If you donate to there, take a screenshot, send me a private message with whatever you want.
F***ing shove a drumstick up your a**e, whatever your f***ing request is, we’ll go through it. If it’s appropriate, I’ll do it. If not, f*** it, you donated to a good cause.
Sounds like a guy who’s doing this for the right reasons, although you’ve gotta worry about whether he’ll be able to make it to the end of the challenge without ending up like Spurlock. Good luck to the guy I suppose and if he’s reading this, don’t be afraid to give up. It might not be worth it in the end.
