Mo Gilligan Eats Fried Chicken Every Day For A Month In New Documentary

British comedian Mo Gilligan stars in a new Netflix documentary called Big Chicken: A Fast Food Conspiracy, where he eats only fried chicken for 28 days. The film explores the history of fried chicken and its impact on human health and the environment, shedding light on the "big business" of fast food and factory farming. Gilligan aims to challenge stereotypes around Black people and fried chicken, reclaiming the dish as part of a larger cultural narrative.

In addition to consuming fried chicken three times a day for a month, Gilligan investigates the food's popularity, historical origins, and the effects of its production and marketing on society. The documentary features commentary from various experts, including health professionals and industry workers, and showcases Gilligan's visits to factory farms to witness firsthand the environmental impact of food production. Big Chicken: A Fast Food Conspiracy, which has similarities to Super Size Me, is now streaming on Netflix.
