I admit I am a lover of fast food but how the heck does one eat 10 Big Macs a week and not get tired of it?

I visit my local Quiznos at least twice, sometimes three times a week but I always get something different.

There are always people who have excellent genes who can eat anything they want or smoke and then live to an old age. I think just about everyone can think of ONE person who smoked and lived to be 90. Or someone who ate junk food and lived long.

These are the exceptions though. If most people ate that junk with all the grease and probably additives and who knows what, they'd get sick. Most smokers I've known died by age 70 of lung cancer.

If you have never eaten a Big Mac in your life them you do not know what you are missing.

Hunderds of thousands of people eat them every day
and they are great.

Whataburger bacon cheeseburgers are great.

Big macs taste like cardboard, and the "secret sauce" looks and tastes like what I imagine blood and semen would be like mixed together. Big macs are about the most disgusting "food" I have ever eaten, and they are horrible for your body.

If you want to load up on that garbage and die in the your 40s of a heart attack, be my guest.

There's a lot more to nutrition than calories and fat and carbs. He's missing out on a lot of vitamins and minerals by eating just Big Macs.

I would view this story primarily through the lens of a person having strong obsessive traits. In this case, the obsession just happened to get focused on McD's burgers.

I find myself wondering what his wife is like.
She's the one on the left:

look at the poor people around the world who eat just rice or beans every day.

I had a friend who ate pinto beans for dinner every day.

People who drink coffee, or milk every day and never get tired of it.

People who eat fish everyday.

People who eat eggs or toast for breakfast everyday.

Just to name a few.

Proof that beef, cheese, fries, and fast food won't kill you.

No, but eating burgers, fries, and soda pop every day can still make you obese. To remain thin like this guy is an anomaly. Genetics plays a big role in your health and body type. Other important details are missing such as: does he hit the gym every day for a few hours to work off the Big Macs? Does he eat anything else during the day? Does he purge his food after he eats it?
More importantly- how much $$ McDonald's paid this guy to shill for them?
