US man extends record for most Big Macs eaten in a lifetime to over 34,000

Don Gorske, 70, becomes one of Guinness World Records' longest-running holders with intake of two McDonald's burgers a day

Don Gorske did not have many people betting on him to live into his 70s with his half-century-old habit of eating Big Mac hamburgers daily.

But cutting down his intake of the famous McDonald's burgers to two a day (rather than his previous high of nine), skipping fries with his meals and walking six miles daily for exercise has not only helped him become a septuagenarian - it has also allowed him to extend his Guinness world record for most Big Macs eaten in a lifetime to more than 34,000.
