Title: Wis. Man Eats His 19,000th Big Mac

FOND DU LAC, Wis. (AP) - Don Gorske is already in the Guinness Book of World Records for eating Big Macs - but it's not about the fame anymore.

Gorske, who downed his 19,000th Big Mac Tuesday, said he wouldn't know what else to eat if it weren't for Big Macs.

"I'd be clueless," he said, adding that he ate a piece of pizza recently, but it "just wasn't the same."

"It wasn't my first choice," he said.

Gorske, 49, of Fond du Lac, eats two Big Macs per day and drinks little else beside Coke. He also keeps track of everything he eats in a notebook.

"I admit I'm obsessive compulsive," he says. "I have so many compulsions."

At 6 feet tall and 180 pounds, Gorske said he proves that 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.

Jeekus, that guy is a marvel of modern science.  I am suprised that his bones arent brittle from all the CO2 in the cokes he drinks.  

Some folks can eat unhealthy and get away with it, others cant.  Just shows the diversity among humans.
