Tech entrepreneur Bryan Johnson takes a dig at fast food restaurant company McDonald’s in his latest Instagram video. In the viral clip, Bryan can be seen with the brand’s chicken nuggets and fries, calling the food “rubber” and “dripping with oil.” Johnson briefly explains the addictive nature of food, not blaming consumers who are addicted to these foods. In the video, Johnson says, “McDonald’s that makes $24 billion a year, they know they can own us with their addictive foods.”
Explaining the science of the food, he adds: “What’s here is that our willpower is surpassed by the science and the addictive nature of this food, perfectly constructed to appeal to our worst instincts and our most addictive behaviors.”
He concluded: “I don’t blame any of you. I don’t blame society. It’s very, very difficult to navigate the modern world. I definitely don’t love it.”
The video received mixed reactions in the comments section. Some McDonald’s fans were left unimpressed:
“Sorry, but McDonald’s is life. It’s a feeling, it’s an atmosphere. Maybe not every day, but it’s okay to have once in a while,” wrote one Instagram user.
Another said: “Some of the best athletes in the world eat McDonalds and perform in the top 1% of their peers.”
