"But Gorske now usually goes to McDonald’s twice weekly, orders batches of Big Macs and – after eating a fresh one – takes them home to microwave when he’s hungry."

I thought “you do you” until I saw this

ugh... imagine how he must smell

[–] CptEnder@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

His cum probably tastes like sun-dried pickles

Jeez, look at him go. I love hearing about this dude every few years.

[–] Syd@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah, if I remember right he was a pretty chill dude and in good health on "supersize me." I don't get all the negativity here, his thing is and has been big macs and that's not hurting anyone.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


But cutting down his intake of the famous McDonald’s burgers to two a day (rather than his previous high of nine), skipping fries with his meals and walking six miles daily for exercise has not only helped him become a septuagenarian – it has also allowed him to extend his Guinness world record for most Big Macs eaten in a lifetime to more than 34,000.

It’s hard to overstate how central McDonald’s and its staple product have been to the identity of the retired prison officer from Fond du Lac, Wisconsin.

That’s the case despite longstanding warnings from experts who say regularly consuming fast food, including McDonald’s, can contribute to weight gain, obesity, heart disease and other health problems because the meals are densely packed with calories, sodium, sugar and fat.

But Gorske now usually goes to McDonald’s twice weekly, orders batches of Big Macs and – after eating a fresh one – takes them home to microwave when he’s hungry.

The incarcerated people whom Gorske would guard at a maximum security prison in Wisconsin aimed “relentless” teasing at him if they ever saw him on television in connection with his McDonald’s habit.

Gorske has kept himself in the best physical shape possible by foregoing breakfast, turning down fries or any other side serving with his Big Macs and walking a half-dozen miles daily.


The original article contains 719 words, the summary contains 224 words. Saved 69%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

McDonald's is terrible food, I can't imagine eating that much of it.

[–] strawberrysocial@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Oh I see. Yeah I imagine if someone said they went to Red Lobster (or somewhere else) x2 a day that would be kind of gross to me too. In my country it's probably not that bad for a 6 foot + man to eat a couple big macs a day. Our version doesn't use pink slime meat like the USA. The sodium is likely high and I guess the fat content is concerning. Compared to what a lot of people make at home in regards to macros it's probably not that different or awful. But he is in the USA so it is likely different. He seems happy and healthy enough though so he should keep doing whatever is working for him.

“People who have watched me eating a Big Mac often comment that I look like I’m eating one for the very first time.”

Damn, say what you want, we should all be so lucky to enjoy the little things like that.
