I have seen this guy around town. He is skinny and reportedly has normal cholesterol and blood pressure.

From the article, "The bond between mother and son was so strong he skipped a Big Mac the day she died upon her request."

And this guy's married. Must be an interesting arrangement.

Despite what appear to be his relatively mild OCD issues, the guy seems pretty normal. I've eaten only maybe 30 or 40 Big Macs in my life.. wonder why I'm such a fat shit?

He eats exclusively Big Macs. No fries, no soft drink and no apple pie.

Nothing wrong with fast food every once in a while. by once in a while i mean like once maybe twice a month MAX. As long as your a active person that is.

OK, I know I need to get a life, but I ran some numbers through the official DR calculator. (Vernon's was in the shop).

He's been eating them since May, 1972. That would be just over 36 years, right? 36 x 365 = 13,140 days. Throw in another hundred to get us from May through August and you have roughly 13,250.

The guy's eaten over 23,000. One a day equates to just over 13,000. That comes out to roughly 1.77 per day.

That's even more impressive. The guy averaged closer to two a day than one. I bet he ordered a diet drink, though. Gotta watch the calories...

Ding! The Big Mac in and of itself is actually fairly _good_ for you. It's all the other addons, along with a sedentary lifestyle, that make people fat.

That super-size me was a crock. I mean seriously who in their right mind thinks Eating MC D's every day for every meal, AND NOT EXCERCING!!!!!, would be a healthy way to live. But then agian its their body, their hospital bills. Unless of course they find a way for ME to pay for it for them.....

Morgan Spunk-licker is a whack-o-loon. I mean really, ever watched his show 30 days? Funny shit there

I can't believe the lefty's are still belittling algore and his fatass with stories like this. he and bubba were 2 very obese chilren, they had bad eating habits, of course bubba past them on to monica.

I do like a good B-M.

I actually spent a WAY longer period of my life quite literally eating nothing but McDonald's, and the worst that happened to me was I got sick of McDonald's, and a SLIGHT change in liver function, the equivalent of drinking a case of beer every week. The doctor who said all these horrible things happened to Sperling should have his license revoked for lying on camera.

Spurlock. Lol. The Fox wants to rip on someone for lying, and can't even use the right name. Way to go, douche.

"Man Eats 23,000 Big Macs"

Wouldn't it be really sad if there was someone on this planet that MADE 23,000 Big Macs?

You have any doubt that there is, beekeeper? I'm certain that there is someone who has made at least twice that many.

I am sure danni is a close second.

Well, when I worked there never passed a day I made less then 30 even as a manager, so even lowballing it to 20 per day to count for days off and whatnot, and I worked there for 3.75 years during that period... rounding down.. I made like 27 thousand of them myself. And the actual number is probably higher.

I'll have a couple a year, and I gotta admit, I still enjoy them. I think they've changed slightly over the years, though. Patties seem smaller, buns drier.

I have ordered a Big Mac before and they told me they could not make any because they did not have the right special weird 3 pieces of bread for them, so I could not get one that day and had to order something else. If this happened to this guy, with his severe OCD .... damn, what would happen?

That's roughly 500 big macs for every year he's been alive.

That's approximately two a day if you don't count his infant years.

That is just plain disgusting.

I eat at McDonald's about eight to ten times a week. I love the bacon/egg/cheese bagel, the Big Mac, and most of all--the McRib sandwich. Their chocolate shakes are to die for. I exercise a lot, and otherwise take pretty good care of myself.

McD's is da greatest.

My first reflex was to say "Nah, you've just gotten older." but then I remembered a little incident. In the computers, when you do an order for McDonald's, you can order "Premium" ""Deluxe" or "Regular" versions of either of the patty sizes. I didn;t know what to order for the truck, so I ordered the "Deluxe" I figure... go with the middle.

I nearly got fired for it. Turns out that, for a mere cost of 4 cents more a patty... you can get actual grade A beef. For 4 cents LESS then the "Deluxe" patty, you get crap that just barely passes USDA "100% Beef" standards. If the patties seem smaller to you, it's probably because you go to a franchise Mickey's, not a corporate. All corporate stores use the Premium patties. Franchise stores can use lesser if their finances require it.

Now, all a franchise owner is, frankly, is the guy who ponied up the initial dough for the store. Once that's done, he just becomes another hand out grabbing money and not doing any work to get it. I've never once seen a franchise owner who ever does anything except go to corporate mixers and tell his store managers they aren't making him enough money. Now, since that person is the one who sets store policies... you think your average franchise owner will EVER go above the "regular" patty? Hell no.

That's why your patties are smaller, because they have a far higher fat and feces content then the better patties, and when that stuff cooks off, you're left with a smaller patty. (Don't get huffy about feces, there's some on everything you have ever eaten) as for drier buns.. heh. the way those things are stored, it's almost impossible for the buns to dry out; they'll mold first. That part, you might just be imagining.

Optional Rant:

When the new store owner took over my store from his father, he STARTED THE MEETING when he bounced four pennies on the table and said "That's all I'm making off of every dollar in this place takes in right now." I calculated quickly based on our take for the day so far, and couldn't stop myself. I blurted out, "You've made 210 dollars already today, from JUST this store alone? And all you've done so far is sit down and bounce some pennies at us? Damn, I wish my Daddy would buy me a McDonald's!"

... I didn't last too much longer, lol.

mcgriddles are the weirdest thing ever, but goddamn i love 'em

Probably like the Whammy Burger scene in "Falling Down"

Patties seem smaller, buns drier.

That happens to a lot of folks...

Big Macs? McBush is not that big. Neither are Sarah's McBoobs. But Big Macs, Big SUVs and big shotguns seem to be where it's at for many of the posters here. herm

This guy was in "Supersize Me". The documentary where the directory, Morgan Spurlock, eats nothing but McDonalds for 30 days.

It nearly kills him.

Interesting, yet totally unrelated side note. Google has a very interesting logo today. Check it out.

Well, some folks have a certain hankering. Big Macs and woof, woof.

Guess Who?

yep just to remind us all that we are going to get sucked inside out today in case we had forgotten.

Wonderful like I don't have enough to worry about in one day I get to wander around today not sure when or if I will get sucked into a black hole.

However I can at least hope that all the people who slurp down big mac's might be so obese that they will clog up the black hole and save the day.

Ok here is the plan, all the really really fat Americans quick go to France and stand near the LHC. You are our first last and only line of defense don't let us down!

Do a google search. The guy isn't fat. He looks like something out of about 1973, with a ponytail and ridiculously long sideburns, but he's not fat. Says he walks up to 10 miles per day.

Hey, to each his own.

"The article makes no mention of his weight"

Yes it does. It refers to him as "physically fit." On another note, I think McDonald's is repulsive. The smell alone makes me want to puke.

Joe -

Really? I have to say I love all that fried glop, though I try to refrain and eat a better balanced diet. It's hard when you're in a hurry, though.

Do you eat any fast food?

I do like a good B-M.

Bowel movement?

Me too.

CBob, if I need something quick I usually get a sub sandwich. Anything but Subway. I ate fast food in high school but for some reason it disgusts me now.

sonic - ten times better!

I never really cared for the Big Mac.

Double Quarter Pounder with just cheese and onions are pretty yummy.

Best Burger in my area would be the Garlic Burger at the Cotton Bottom. Been there forever, its just a little dive bar with two pool tables about ten tables in and 10 out on the patio.

Great burger if you like to taste garlic for a couple of days.

If I were a restaurant critic, the restaurants would love me, because I like it all.

I'm not the least bit overweight, but I never tire of eating.

Subs? Good. Burgers & fries? Good. Vegetarian food? Yummy. Seafood? Awesome. Steak and bell peppers on my grill? Sweet! French, German, Chinese, Thai, Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese, Mexican, Cuban, Indian, Ethiopian, Jamaican, Middle Eastern, Greek, Italian, Irish pub fare? That's my favorite. What did I leave out? I'm sure I like it too...

Now it has to be done right, but I have yet to meet a cuisine I don't like.

Cbob,

You mentioned ethiopian food.

Do they really have a cuisine? Inquiring minds want to know.

Yes, and it's delicious. There is a great Ethiopian restaurant in St. Louis called (not surprisingly) "Queen of Sheba."

My wife and I ate at an Ethiopian place in the Adams Morgan section of D.C. a few years ago, and it kicked ass. We tried the sampler. Doro wot (a spicy stew) and a bunch of other good stuff, generally served with crepe-like bread to hold it.

Interesting, sounds like it might be good.

I thought that all ethiopians ate was dirt but what do I know.

Course you heard about the ethiopian that fell into a shark tank.....

He ate four of them before they could get him out.

Google is using the Hadron Collider logo because it's due to be fired up today.

It's some fascinating stuff that has some wackos convinced that any black holes created will engulf the earth........we'll just have to wait and see.

Yep -- at an Eithopian restaurant, all the food comes in a U.N. Relief pouch unless you get there late. Then the only choice is the "Sticks and Dust Platter."

he should switch to whoppers

Google is using the Hadron Collider logo because it's due to be fired up today.

I know why they used the logo. It's also funny that people thought the world would end today when the real experimentation won't begin until next week.

Today they fired one beam around the 17mi track. Next week they fire two in opposite directions so that they slam into one another.

It does bring up an interesting sci-fi type movie.

"Government dicks around with things they shouldn't. World almost sucked into black hole. Saved only by The Rock fighting off demons from the 56-1/3rd dimension and plugging hole with massive ego."

this guy would have to be 63.01 years old if he had one everyday of his life...i'm getting 'spicious...

Southern soul food is the best cuisine.
