Hmmm... I'm honestly not sure what all to say here. He says this is part of his OCD disorder and stays in shape by walking 10 miles per day.

But think about the number... 23THOUSAND hamburgers in 36 years... he says that's 2 a day.

That's just mind boggling. And he's kept the receipts for it all.

That's gotta be a huge box for all those receipts

Yeah, and I believe he's not that over weight either. But good for him. It's good to have a hobby.

If you can eat that much McDonald's without dying, more power to you.

Poor man, couldn't get a Big Mac on Thanksgiving. Maybe he had a Big Bird Mac. All in all I would worry more about his wallet than his health. That's more than $50000 altogether. Being some years ago they were a little cheaper but I think recent prices more than make up that deficite.

You can't go wrong with a five patty whopper.

Ya know, I don't think it's as bad as it sounds. Really, it's not so much our diets as it is our sedentary lifestyle that's the problem. Certainly, it is important to have a healthy diet, but that's at least partly due to the fact that we don't get nearly as much exercise as our ancestors, and so we need to adjust our diets to compensate.

I agree with you on that. I like McDonald's, but not THAT much!

Indeed. Btw, I love that movie. Morgan's wife (girlfriend at the time) is awesome; vegan chef FTW!

From the article:

"That's when I started a habit where I kept them in the freezer," he said.
