:41:01
How many do you eat
a day, usually?

:41:03
Usually it's two a day.
:41:04
Now, last year,
I ate 741 last year.

:41:07
That's more than two a day,
:41:08
so that means
there's days I had three,

:41:10
but that's because
they're getting smaller.

:41:12
Probably 90% of my solid diet
is probably Big Macs.

:41:17
That parking spot,
:41:18
that's where I asked her
if she wanted to get married.

:41:21
This place is special --
a lot of reasons.

:41:23
I had one whopper
in my life -- 1984.

:41:26
A guy gave me 5 bucks
to eat a whopper.

:41:28
After I ate the whopper,
:41:30
took my 5 bucks over to
McDonald's, got some Big Macs.

:41:34
I always make fun
of people at work.

:41:36
They say, "I'm gaining weight."
:41:37
I say, "well, you should
try the Gorske diet."

:41:39
they don't like that.
:41:41
This is a perfect sandwich,
you know.

:41:44
At least for me, it is.
:41:45
There it is --
bite number 19,000.

:41:48
The wife says when she's
got to put them in a blender,

:41:51
it ends.
:41:51
That's what she told me.
:41:52
Big Mac smoothies.
:42:06
America’s been McDonaldized,
you know.

:42:08
It's been franchised out.
:42:10
It's like one of those
"Flintstones" cartoons

:42:11
where they just had something
rolling in the background.

:42:14
You kept seeing
the same buildings go by.

:42:15
It's like
K-Mart, Wal-Mart, McDonald's,

:42:17
K-Mart, Wal-Mart,
Wendy's, K-Mart.

:42:19
And it's like you have no sense
of where you're at anymore.

:42:22
The way I look at it
is Cezanne was inspired

:42:24
by the mountain he saw
out his window,

:42:26
and when I look out my window,
I see no mountains.

:42:28
I just see billboards
and advertisements,

:42:31
so I use that as my inspiration.
:42:33
The average American child
:42:35
sees 10,000 food advertisements
per year on television.

:42:39
95% of those
are for sugared cereals,

:42:40
soft drinks,
fast foods, or candy.

:42:43
A parent who eats
every meal every day

:42:46
for the whole year
with their child

:42:48
and at every meal gives a very
compelling nutrition message

:42:51
and can bring in cartoon
characters and Michael Jordan --

:42:54
so instead
of selling McDonald's,

:42:55
he sells oranges --
:42:57
and Britney spears,
instead of selling Pepsi

:42:59
will sell radishes
or lettuce or something --
