A Fond du Lac, Wis., man has published a book about a 36-year obsession in which he says he devoured 23,000 Big Macs.

Don Gorske, 54, who is physically fit, hit his 23,000th Big Mac milestone last month, the Fond du Lac (Wis.) Reporter said in a story published Monday.

Gorske, who works for the Waupun Correctional Institution, claims to have every receipt for each Big Mac dating to May 17, 1972, when he got his first car, the Reporter said.

I've heard Bawney Frank has had 23,000 Big Macs.

Bawney didn't get that round mouth (along with stretch marks) from eating square meals.

I’d hate to see what this guy’s colonoscopy scan looks like.

Now if he had just purchased the equivalent $amount of stock for the past 30-40 yrs, while eating ramen instead....

I worked there for 6 hellish years and have probably eaten fewer than that. Big Macs are nasty.

You, nobody would catch me in a McDonald’s, or to be honest any other fast food restaurant. Not after multiple times of witnessing the handling of the food, or looking through the doors into the “Kitchen” of some.

The last straw was when the young counter person came over to our table, and asked if we had the right order as she pawed through the burgers to see if we had the ones with onion she misplaced for the order at the drive through window.

We take our lunch with us in a cooler. We know what’s in it, and we know the health of the person(s) that prepared it.

Never, never, never again.

Twenty years ago, when I was expecting my daughter, I averaged more than 2 Big Macs per day. Some days I would buy an extra one, (or two) and keep them in the refrigerator for late night snacking! LOL! I never cared much for them before or after.

ELAINE: (To waitress) Oh, nothing for me. (Waitress leaves) I'm going to "Atomic Sub" later.

JERRY: "Atomic Sub"? Why are you eating there?

ELAINE: I got a card, and they stamp it every time I buy a sub. 24 stamps, and I become a submarine (makes a gesture) captain.

JERRY: What does that mean?

ELAINE: (Embarrassed) Free sub.

On the rare occasions I go back I only get mains that weren’t on the menu when I worked there (can’t really do that with sides and beverages). I’d rather not know what’s in them or how they’re made, because I know what we did to them.

Fast good is generally nasty, best avoided.

Vincent: All right. Well, you can walk into a movie theater in Amsterdam and buy a beer. And I don’t mean just like in no paper cup, I’m talking about a glass of beer. And in Paris, you can buy a beer at McDonald’s. And you know what they call a Quarter Pounder with Cheese in Paris?
Jules: They don’t call it a Quarter Pounder with Cheese?
Vincent: Nah, man, they got the metric system. They wouldn’t know what the f*** a Quarter Pounder is.
Jules: What do they call it?
Vincent: They call it a “Royale with Cheese.”
Jules: “Royale with Cheese!”
Vincent: That’s right.
Jules: What do they call a Big Mac?
Vincent: A Big Mac’s a Big Mac, but they call it “Le Big Mac”.
Jules: “Le Big Mac.” [laughs] What do they call a Whopper?
Vincent: I dunno, I didn’t go to Burger King.

some of you guys are missing an important point

This guy is a good case study that eating fast food can still keep you healthy. How many times have ppl been told that eating fast food is bad?
