Apparently a man in Wisconsin has eaten 23,000 Big Macs over 36 years (he's 54). He hit the milestone last month, continuing the "Big Mac attack" that he took up in 1972, he proclaims he has obsessive-compulsive disorder (I think he has alot more than that!).

Oh, and by the way, he's reported to have kept every receipt from all the thousands of purchases. He claims to be fascinated with numbers-he was motivated by McDonald's tracking the number of customers and so he wanted to know his own consumption. He attests to keeping in good shape even though he consumes 2 of the burgers per day...you know, he did stop ordering the fries a few years back...instead, he has a parfait.

Out of respect for his deceased mother, he did stop eating the Big Macs for 8 straight days. (He had made a promise to her in that regard...he also promised her that he wouldn't cut his hair over 20 years ago, and has indeed let it grow). There were a couple of other occassions where he missed a day here and there because of work commitments...oh, and then there was the time he was traveling and couldn't find a McDonald's (whoa, must have been in the Twilight zone, never heard of anyone not being able to find a McDonald's). When the "inability to access" issues developed, he resorted to buying up extra and freezing them. Mmmm, I guess he takes a regular inventory.

I can remember having the stereotypical cravings when I was pregnant, but other than that, I do enjoy a variety of foods. Oh well. Do try to focus on eating right, exercising, and keeping a good balance. Join C-fit, it's not only good for your physical health, but you get to meet alot of nice folks and do some fun things. A Big Mac here and there is no problem, but 2 a day for the rest of your life? Just so ya know, one Big Mac: 576 calories, 32.5 grams of fat (12 of that saturated), and 103 milligrams of cholesterol....ooh, I don't feel so good....
