Stop looking at food as its physical embodiment. Your body doesn't care how the food looks or what form it takes. Food is just a physical representation of the number of calories it contains. I'm not going to argue that McDonald's isn't high in calories, because it totally is, but that doesn't make it bad. A responsible adult would simply eat the amount of calories he or she requires, not <big mac, large fries and large coke> because it's a meal.
A more relevant Super Size Me experiment would be to eat X calories worth of McDonald's a day where X is the amount of calories your body requires to neither gain nor lose weight, then check his health after a set amount of days. The number X can be calculated with formulas easily found online.
