I didn't think this would ever be relevant:a man decides to eat nothing but monkey pellets. Interesting things happen to his gut.

What interesting things? It appears he went a week and didn't seem to enjoy it. I imagine that would be the case for any diet where you only eat the same thing for a week.

Yes I was hoping for a Supersize Me type experiment. I actually tried to scroll down a couple of times not noticing the page had ended. Very underwhelming.

Was the food log from Supersize Me ever released? It's been a few years so maybe things have changed, but the last time I checked there was a severe lack of real information in Supersize Me to support the claims the guy was making.

I seem to recall a number of other people trying to replicate his experiment with much less negative consequences.

It's worth pointing out that monkeys are usually fed more than just the chow. However, since the chow is "complete", it is less important to carefully monitor the balance of fruits, nuts, etc. to make sure that they're getting enough of every vitamin (etc).

Does anyone have the videos for this? I remember watching them years ago but they seem to be removed now.

The video links somehow have the domain removed. If you add them in, you'll end up here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=juwvwu3Z5HI
