Interesting...
Gorske, who appeared in the 2004 documentary "Super Size Me," which examined the fast food industry, looks nothing like one might expect of a fast food junkie. He's trim and walks regularly for exercise, and he attributes his build to being "hyperactive." He said he was recently given a clean bill of health and that his cholesterol is low.
A retired prison guard ate his 25,000th Big Mac on Tuesday, 39 years to the day after eating his first ... nine.
Don Gorske was honored after reaching the meaty milestone during a ceremony at a McDonald's in his hometown of Fond du Lac. Surely McDonald's most loyal customer, Guinness World Records recognized Gorske's feat three years and 2,000 Big Macs ago, and the 57-year-old says he has no desire to stop.
"I plan on eating Big Macs until I die," he said. "I have no intentions of changing. It's still my favorite food. Nothing has changed in 39 years. I look forward to it every day."
The sign beneath the golden arches Tuesday read "Congrats Don Gorske 25000 Big Macs."
Before he ate No. 25,000, he showed dozens of onlookers many of the different styles of cartons he has collected over the years and other Big Mac-related stories.
Before biting into the sandwich, he said, "It's been seven years since 20,000. Same thing goes this year folks. You can't have the carton and it probably still takes 16 bites for me to finish a Big Mac."
The crowd erupted into applause.
Gorske, who appeared in the 2004 documentary "Super Size Me," which examined the fast food industry, looks nothing like one might expect of a fast food junkie. He's trim and walks regularly for exercise, and he attributes his build to being "hyperactive." He said he was recently given a clean bill of health and that his cholesterol is low.
Gorske's obsession with the burger - two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun, for those not familiar with the once-ubiquitous ads - started May 17, 1972, when he bought three Big Macs to celebrate the purchase of a new car. He was hooked, and went back to McDonald's twice more that day, eating nine before they closed.
He's only gone eight days since without a Big Mac, and most days he eats two. Among the reasons he skipped a day was to grant his mother a dying wish. His last Big Mac-less day was Thanksgiving 2000, when he forgot to stock up and the store was closed for the holiday.
Gorske said he loves numbers and counting things and was inspired to start counting his burgers because McDonald's noted how many hamburgers were served on their sign.
He said he is probably obsessive compulsive and that he likes repetition and doesn't like change. He said he's kept many of the Big Mac boxes and receipts over the years, and has noted his purchases in calendars he's kept.
McDonald's says there are 540 calories in a Big Mac, which is more than a quarter of the calories a person on a 2,000-calorie diet would consume. The burger also contains 29 grams of fat and 1,040 grams of sodium, which are both more than 40 percent of the Food and Drug Administration's daily recommended value for a 2,000-calorie diet.
Tara Gidus, a registered dietitian in Orlando, Fla., said she wouldn't recommend Gorske's Big Mac diet, and that he's likely stayed relatively healthy because of good genetics and because he doesn't order a lot of extras, such as fries and sodas.
She said the Big Mac provides protein and grains, which the body needs, and that she would be "less concerned about the bad stuff in the Big Mac and more concerned about the good stuff he's missing," such as fruits and vegetables.
Gorske said he normally buys six on Monday and eight on Thursday and freezes or refrigerates them and warms them when he wants to eat them, so he doesn't have to run to the restaurant all the time.
Gorske said he likes other foods, including bratwurst and lobsters, but that he loves Big Macs and his wife Mary, a nurse, never has to worry about making him a meal.
"I really do enjoy every Big Mac," he said.
He said his wife jokes about ending his streak.
"She says ... when she has to put them in a blender, it's over," he said.

A depressed tear just pooled up in the eyes of every brown rice, broccoli, chicken breast eating, window of opportunity embracing, calorie counting, animal t-shirt wearing "iron warrior".

i'm going to mcdonalds

Fit and trim compared to you Ron , I bet he looks like absolute shit.
-
Sure I can see a big mac per day along with eating sensible for the other meals would result in him being trim and somewhat healthy.
big mac - 540 cals
-

He looks skinny, sure. But he's probably that 'skinny fat' where he still has that muffin top look and I bet his body fat percentage is still in the mid teens at the least.

calories in - calories out

epic bowl haircut i use to sport when i was 13
-
This sounds good I might try it and some upright rows recommended by Big Dicked Bob could go to the next level on conditioning and size.
-
If I worked at that McDonalds I wuld already have his cheeseburger bagged up and waiting for him before he even walked through the front foor.
-
Only thing to critisize is maybe his poor choice for a favorite food, but hey, who gives.
;D ;D ;D
-
a big mac only has 576 calories, what's the big fuzz about it eating 25000 in 39 years except it tastes like shit.
-
so he is averaging 1.7 big macs a day, 900 calories...
Calories in calories out
-
They aren't even nice. Tiny burgers and shrivelled up bun. It's the kind of crap that makes Michael Douglas' character in Falling Down go nuts..
Poor choice of burger..

Actually i don't mind a BigMac every now and then, think i had my last one 4-5 years ago, LOL.

The local reports say he eats 2 per day, has kept almost all of the boxes and keeps notes about them - ie: "special sauce extra tangy today"
-
Ron , I guarantee if you eat NOTHING except 2 big macs a day (one for lunch , one for dinner) you will lose 30lbs
:)
a Big Mac has aprox. 490 calories, at two a day will put you at 980 calories, someone your size would maintain weight at probably 2200 calories a day , so you would be cutting your cals by more then half (1200+) and would lose weight/fat

Great genetics + training = only a small majority can pull it off.
-
I had three big Macs just the other day, they fucked up my order, I had only ordered two with nothing on, but they gave me two with everything on and one with nothing on, still only charged me for two.
-

Actually the mayority of foods found in most stores have been reduced in size over the years..not only burgers...especialy in Europe.
You order something from a restauraunt and they serve you meal portions that even a cat wouldnt be satisfied.

Don Gorske should be awarded for being the dumbest idiot in America!
How the fuck this retarded moron of Don Gorske could eat 25000 Big Mac for 39 consecutive years and not to realize that he has been eating the most disgusting hamburger ever made from the worst fast food chain in the world!
Wait, just look at the picture of him and his hideous haircut and you realize that this man has same mental issue!

This part, Ron. Eat right and exercise regularly. Don't eat anything that gets passed to you from a 'drive-thru' window. Not rocket surgery.
Please don't die. The internet wouldn't be the same without you.
