Oh great. I eat popcorn and use up all of my minutes in random calls to Montreal, Bangkok, and McMurdo Station.

great... given I love popcorn, I am liable to either get myself divorced by random calls ending up in "odd places" of the middle east or accidentally find my brother's family in Thailand.

So the maths on that:
Number of years since 1972 = 36
Number of days = 36 * 365 = 13140
Number of burgers per day = 23000 / 13140 = 1.75!

It very much depends on what else he eats and how fit and healthy he is overall. 2 big macs a day, although more sickening than I can imagine could be equaled out with the right amount of activity I'm sure.

Correct 
However, "Fifty-four-year-old Don Gorske says he hit the milestone last month" so it's a bit less than that - my calculation of 1.75/day was an average anyway as it wasn't an exact division.

Back in college I would eat 3 to 5 of these for lunch once a week but that was when I was in my 20s and found it very difficult to gain weight. Now (in the mid 30s) I take in probably 3 to 5 per year and its much harder to loose than to gain it...
[EDIT]Anyways 1.75/day [/EDIT]

I find McDonald's disgusting, but I also know people who eat the same thing, like curried rice, everyday. (My oldest son seems to live on Hot Pockets, my youngest daughter on Ramen and Spaghettios.)
Anyone who thinks he has a better idea of what's good for people than people do is a swine.

I agree with you there - I can barely eat one Big Mac without feeling ill, let alone multiple Big Macs every day..

Jesus, that's 639 Big Macs per year, and 1.75 per day. Wouldn't anyone get sick of that garbage after a while?

I wonder if that's the same guy that was on Super-size Me. If it is, he never eats the fries - just Big Macs.
Cheers,

Yup, same guy - in the film he seemed... well... pretty thin and well... normal except for having two Big Macs a day.

Ya, I remember that. I like Big Macs, but two a day would pretty much finish me off.
Cheers,

Let me guess. This guy actually has two entries in the Guiness Book of World Records: number of Big Macs eaten, and his BMI (body mass index)[^].
