    I think I'd die.... of boredom.

    Seriously, all nutrition considerations aside, wouldn't you just get sick to death of Big Macs?

    not if you love them you wouldn't. I LOVE pizza and I could eat it every single day without ever getting bored with it. As a matter of fact I love pizza so much I have trouble controlling my portions with it which is why I don't eat it every single day :tongue:

    Rosinlof said he thinks the state of his health has to do with calories. He said a Big Mac meal is 930 calories, so if he eats two a day that is still less than 2,000 calories and he doesn't eat much more than that.

    30 years of little other than Big Mac and fries. :sick: :brokenheart:
  • My issue with McD's was never the calories, but the fact it's like salted cancer in a bun.

    "but, 'Supersize Me'..." - anonymous vegan

    Isn't Dennis Rosinlof the guy that was in Supersize me? Or is there another guy famous for eating Big Macs every day?

    Yup I've also never eaten a Big Mac... I got quarter pounders whenever I went to McDonalds, which was rare enough, and yet I'm still sick of them. I like the McNuggets on the rare occasion I go now :P

    Well, if he eats 3 meals/day, his schedule would lead to about half his meals being Big Mac meals. If he eats 2 meals/day, about 2/3 of his meals were Big Mac meals. He might be like the "twinkie diet" guy and eat a bunch of vegetables the other meals to make up the nutrition. My guess is nothing but Big Mac meals would lead to a variety of health problems. No veg other than iceberg lettuce and something that was probably a tomato once.

    He was on that supersize documentary I think. Funny because he is slim! I guess he must not consume many calories in total even though the big macs, or maybe he has a very physical job.

    I eat bacon (or sausage) and eggs every single morning and have done so for the last year. Cholesterol is perfect, and I've lost a bunch of weight.

    I could totally do a Big Mac diet.

    He might do a lot of things. I have no idea, but he said he doesn't eat much more.

    Last I knew the dollar menu now consisted of 4 chicken nuggets, a palm sized milkshake and a bag of chips you could probably smuggle up your butt.
    Not that I have any experience...in that.

    You kids and your newfangled high priced so-called food.

    Why, when I was a boy, the entire McDonald's menu was a "dollar" menu! You hear me??? A DOLLAR! And we didn't worry about calories either because we worked at least 20 hours every day doing hard manual labor...and we had to walk to McDonald's...EIGHT MILES...uphill...both ways!

    eating big macs is not an accomplishment, I have eaten probably 12,000 potatoes in 30 years...accomplishment? really? :laugh: sorry sad thing to be an "accomplishment" , I hardly call that a success.

    Not that I'm a big pro-McDonald's guy, but his apparent over-reliance on Big Macs in his diet is arguably more nutritious, and perhaps even healthier, than your apparent over-reliance on potatoes.

    (Note, I'm not saying that either is an optimal approach...in fact, I'm probably saying that both are not...but that it isn't as simple as "McDonald's == bad, whole food == good".)
