He was actually an inspiration to me. I was a dumb kid and never really liked documentaries.
But he brought an interesting topic (fast food), mixed a bit of self experimentation, and made it entertaining.
His movie made me interested in other things like Myth Busters and telling stories in a more casual way.
All the controversy years later is unfortunate. The guy wasn’t a good person or a good scientist. He was just a dude with a agenda. But he was a good storyteller. And I liked that.

The problem was that, like many good storytellers, he didn’t let the facts get in the way of a good story. Not ideal for a documentarian.
