Don Gorske’s on record as being a Big Mac fan, but it’s not about the burger any more
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.
This guy takes the cake for wanting to be rid of his mother in law!!

Man continues road trip home to Canada after mother-in-law dies in car
BROCKVILLE, Ont. (CP) - A Pembroke-area man stopped at the U.S.-Canada border Wednesday was unusually anxious to get home - police say he drove from South Carolina with his mother-in-law’s corpse in the car.
The 88-year-old woman is believed to have died of natural causes while returning from Florida with her daughter and her daughter’s husband, police said.
Police said the couple wanted to get the woman to a home-town funeral parlour.
An autopsy was to be performed Thursday in Kingston.
Police said the man arrived at the Thousand Islands International Bridge, in eastern Ontario, about 7 a.m. and told Canada Customs that he had a body in the car. Customs officers found the woman covered with a blanket and called police.
The couple returned to their Pembroke home after a brief investigation.
