Common sense surrenders.

Big macs are bad for you.

At 6 feet tall and 180 pounds, Gorske proves foods you love don't have to make you fat.

In fact, attorneys defending McDonald's against a lawsuit claiming its food makes people fat used Gorske as an example of someone who frequently ate fast food but stayed slim.


Sure, may not make you fat, that all depends on your body, but it makes you UNHEALTHY.

He looks like a cross between all four of The Beatles.
 
2003-03-19 07:26:43 PM
Jesus. How much time does this guy spend in McDonald's?
 
2003-03-19 07:27:15 PM
Wow.

It's like that link about the college student who got scurvey from eating only junk food.

Do you think the tomatoes in Big Macs have enough Vit. C to prevent scurvey? (Are there tomatoes in Big Macs? Haven't had one in 12 years... Hey! Can I set a world record for that?)

Seriously, do people really have no concept of nutrition? It seems like "healthy" food nowadays just means low fat...
 
2003-03-19 07:27:55 PM
what on earth inspired him to keep track of this? is he ocd about everything?
 
2003-03-19 07:27:57 PM
No tomatoes, Venus. Two all-beef (ha!) patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, on a sesame seed bun.
 
2003-03-19 07:28:28 PM
Wow, that's equivalent to eating bigmacs every day for 26 years.
 
2003-03-19 07:28:52 PM
19,000 Big Macs x $1.29/Big Mac (or something close to that) = $24,510...

I'm speechless...

No, really, I'm speechless
 
2003-03-19 07:29:00 PM
What, no picture??

Gotta know how study *this* guy must look.
 
2003-03-19 07:30:15 PM
 
2003-03-19 07:31:56 PM
Wow! Watch him eat a twinkie and then all of a sudden gets a heart attack...
 
2003-03-19 07:32:31 PM
"In the Gorske Lab-
Have Fun calculating
How many heads of beef had Don eaten?
How many pounds of cheese?
How many sesame seeds?
and all the rest!"

Wow. That is sad.

Well, he can save money on his funeral expenses. Because with the level of preservatives in his system, even rigor mortis won't set in for a coule of weeks.

No way, Man!!! I said cows!

*now wondering what the hell is in those burgers*
 
2003-03-19 07:36:09 PM
To hell with the burgers, they're atleast edible. I don't even want to imagine what is in those Meat McNuggets.
*gag*
 
2003-03-19 07:37:02 PM
NO. NO. NO. He is the ORSON WELLES of fast food. Duh!
 
2003-03-19 07:37:39 PM
Makes me glad to be vegan. Blech.
 
2003-03-19 07:37:49 PM
IputTheFUNinFUNERAL:

For 26 years. Pretty cheap. How much do you spend for food a week?
 
2003-03-19 07:38:37 PM
Two words: NAST TEE!

Okay, I guess that's really one word. But you get the point.
 
2003-03-19 07:41:53 PM
So, when's Gorske going to file a lawsuit against McDonald's like all the other dumbasses?

JR
 
2003-03-19 07:42:02 PM
haha, i live in Fond du Lac Wisconsin!

i saw that guy eating the final big mac to break the world record last year at my highschool. it was pretty stupid, and he has a realy ugly mullet.
 
2003-03-19 07:42:40 PM
TofuttiCutie Hmmm, 19000 tofu burgers...?
 
2003-03-19 07:43:40 PM
funny you say that PheonixTMW. I semd roughly 50$ a week on food. He is about 1000 a year. I spend about 2,600. Time to switch to Micky-D's hehe. Almost like a subway diet minus jared.

PhoenixTMW

I think you nailed it right there; the substance in question is "food."

Big Mac may be edible, but it sure isn't food...imo anyways :P

But, let's see here:

For me (single yadda yadda) I spend about $50/week for food (give or take; doesn't include eating out).

So, that's what, $200/month x 12 months/year = $2400

Okay, so now, $2400/year x 26 years = $62,400

So, $62,400 vs $24,510 = a diff of $37,890

Almost a ratio of 3 to 1. And, dunno bout you, but 2 Big Macs may constitute a lunch, and I'm not sure how much this guy eats per day (other than McDonalds). So, to me, I'm still speechless...but your mileage may vary :P
 
2003-03-19 07:46:21 PM
hey, not all vegans like tofu burgers... (i.e. this one)

yum, I just had a Tofutti Cutie. I could probably eat 19,000 of those.

way to live! but he has a -3 roll to save against diabetes.
 
2003-03-19 07:48:08 PM
I think I just barfed in my mouth....and it tastes better than a big mac, by the way.
 
2003-03-19 07:51:09 PM
GSC and Cjsmith11878 : almost fell outta my chair. Funny ass stuff.
 
2003-03-19 07:55:30 PM
This guy looks familiar...

 
2003-03-19 07:59:18 PM
Hey, not to thread jack, but it is now 5:00pm PST. Are we killing Iraqis yet?
 
2003-03-19 08:00:02 PM
Threadjack..hehe...were gonna IraqJack
 
2003-03-19 08:00:40 PM
Big Mac = eating cardboard.
Now, if anyone wants a cool soup to clean out those Big Macs.......buy a bag of ramen, some onions, garlic, green onions, jalapenos, cilantro, and tofu. If you like "strong" food, it taste great. It's cheap. And shiat!, will it clean you out.
Just don't eat on a work day or before a date....you'll regret it.
 
2003-03-19 08:03:31 PM
Do you realize that at 2 big macs per day it turns out that he's been eating like this for 26.6 years!!!
 
2003-03-19 08:09:24 PM
Cripes I lived in Fond du Lac for years. Little did I know we had a World Record holder living right there in that shiathole of a town!

Trust me, people, this isn't very abnormal behavior for that area of the state/country.

Now I live in Milwaukee... so I went from a small town to a bigger small town... but I'm still in a shiathole.

SYMDave: Uhhhh, Jack runs a different fast-food restaurant...
 
2003-03-19 08:29:21 PM
You know what this says to me? If you put your mind to it, you really can do anything.

Ugh what am I saying? Big Macs are sickening.
 
2003-03-19 08:35:03 PM
I've been drinking 9 beers a day and smoking 2 packs a day for the last 4 years. Guiness! Here I come!
 
2003-03-19 08:39:54 PM
Something tells me that this guy never travelled beyound a 50 miles radius around his house
 
2003-03-19 08:41:05 PM
He probably never leaves his parent's basement except to acquire more Big Macs.
 
2003-03-19 08:41:19 PM
Talk about the "Big Mac Attack" from hell!
 
2003-03-19 08:42:42 PM
People still eat at McDonalds?

I thought all the franchises had been turned into a money laundering scheme for the ghost of John Gotti
