23,000 Big Macs


Wow… I saw this over at MSNBC and thought the story was just too weird to pass up. They didn’t have a picture of him, but it would be interesting to see just how he looks since it is very conceivable that you could eat a Big Mac every day and still stay in shape. But when you add in the obsessive-compulsive disorder, that seems unlikely unless he is equally O-C about working out. I have know people that were almost this bad with other foods like donuts and pizza. There is also specualtion about the addictive effects of MSG (monosodium glutamate) that is used as seasoning in fast foods and snack foods. Always check the label on snack food for MSG, since it has some bad side effects for a lot of people.

FOND DU LAC, Wis. – A 54-year-old man says his obsessive-compulsive disorder drove him to eat 23,000 Big Macs in 36 years.

Fifty-four-year-old Don Gorske says he hit the milestone last month, continuing a pleasurable obsession that began May 17, 1972 when he got his first car.

…The correctional-institution employee says he doesn’t care when people call his Big Mac obsession crazy. He says he’s in love with the burgers, which are the highlights of his days.
