Wisconsin man takes his Big Mac addiction to new levels
A man from the small town of Fond du Lac, Wisconsin has made headlines once again, breaking his own Guinness World Records title for the most McDonald’s Big Macs eaten in a lifetime. Don Gorske, 68, has been chowing down on the famous fast food burgers for over four decades, and shows no signs of slowing down. In 2023 alone, Gorske managed to consume more than 700 of the artery-clogging treats.
When asked how he manages to eat so many Big Macs, Gorske simply shrugged and replied, “I just love them.” It’s unclear whether his love for the high fat, high calorie burgers has affected his health, but Gorske boasts that he has never been overweight and has always maintained a healthy weight. The man has even published a book about his Big Mac obsession, where he details the history of the burger and his personal experiences eating them.
In a statement released by McDonald’s, the company expressed its gratitude for Gorske’s unwavering loyalty to their infamous burger. “We are honored to have Mr. Gorske as one of our most devoted customers,” the statement reads. “His passion for our Big Macs is truly inspiring.” In fact, McDonald’s even featured Gorske in a TV commercial, where he proudly displayed his collection of Big Mac containers and shared his love for the iconic sandwich with the world.
But not everyone is impressed with Gorske’s eating habits. Some health experts warn that consuming so many Big Macs can have harmful effects on the body, and that chronic overeating can lead to serious health problems down the line. “We urge Mr. Gorske to consider the long-term consequences of his diet,” says Dr. Jane Smith, a nutritionist at the University of Wisconsin. “While it’s important to enjoy the foods we love, we also need to make sure that we’re taking care of our bodies.”
Despite the criticism, Gorske remains undeterred. He plans to continue eating Big Macs until the day he dies, and hopes to break his own record once again in the years to come. “I don’t see myself stopping anytime soon,” he says. “Eating Big Macs is just part of who I am.”
As Gorske continues his quest for Big Mac domination, it’s a sobering reminder of the power that fast food can have over us. While it’s tempting to satisfy our cravings with a quick, convenient burger, we need to be mindful of the impact that our diets can have on our health. So the next time you find yourself craving a Big Mac, think twice before indulging. Your body might thank you in the long run.
