  Don Gorske Information
Don Gorske of Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, is a "Big Mac enthusiast" (what exactly he does for a living is unknown) who has eaten over 20,000 Big Mac cheeseburgers in his lifetime, winning a place in the 2005 Guinness Book of Records in the process.
Assuming Gorske is able to obtain 1000 calories a day from hamburgers, he still requires an additional 1000 calories to obtain the necessary energy required for a male of his size leading a sedentary lifestyle.
Gorske's lack of obesity is not suggestive of the healthful qualities of McDonalds' food, as someone could eat exclusively hogfat and not gain weight, as long as they ate only enough to supply 1000 calories.

Don Gorske of Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, is a Big Mac enthusiast who has eaten over 20,000 Big Mac cheeseburgers in his lifetime, winning a place in the 2005 Guinness Book of Records in the process.
In spite of his diet, Gorske is 6 feet (1.83 m) tall, 180 pounds (82 kg), and claims a cholesterol level of 155.
Although Gorske's diet probably supplies him with at least subsistence levels of protein, fat, carbohydrates, iron, B12, and other minerals and vitamins, he risks several deficiencies, most notably calcium which is not present in substantial amounts in either Coca-Cola or Big Mac hamburgers, and fibre.

 "Fast Food or Truly Full" : Articles : HEARTLIGHT® Magazine
Don has been eating Big Macs since 1972, which means that, if I've done my math correctly, he's eaten the sandwiches since then at a rate of nearly two a day.
But, Don's got me thinking that some people live their lives in a perpetual quest for the equivalent of fast-food.
And while Don may be doing OK on his steady diet of Big Macs, there is no way that we're going to thrive the way we were intended to on a steady diet of fast-food for the spirit.
