| It's May of 2011, |
00:00:13.920 - 00:00:15.720 |
| and Don, a retired American prison guard, |
00:00:15.800 - 00:00:18.560 |
| reveals why he's probably
McDonald's biggest fan. |
00:00:18.640 - 00:00:22.440 |
| When I was 19 years old,
I had eaten my first 1,000 Big Macs. |
00:00:22.920 - 00:00:26.200 |
| I thought, like, "Man," |
00:00:26.280 - 00:00:27.720 |
| you know, "How long before I hit 10,000?" |
00:00:27.800 - 00:00:30.640 |
| Thirty-nine years to the day
after eating his first Big Mac, |
00:00:30.720 - 00:00:34.240 |
| he's just eaten his 25,000th, |
00:00:34.320 - 00:00:36.560 |
| almost 14 million calories. |
00:00:36.640 - 00:00:38.680 |
| Well, I plan on eating Big Macs
until I die. |
00:00:39.680 - 00:00:42.160 |
| Don might be an extreme example, |
00:00:43.200 - 00:00:45.560 |
| but he's far from alone
in his love for fast food. |
00:00:45.640 - 00:00:49.360 |
| There are almost a quarter of a million
fast food restaurants in the US alone. |
00:00:51.200 - 00:00:55.880 |
| Globally, fast food generates revenues |
00:00:57.360 - 00:01:00.040 |
| of over $570 billion each year. |
00:01:00.120 - 00:01:03.480 |
| That's more than the entire economy
of Sweden in 2018... |
00:01:04.120 - 00:01:07.480 |
| and almost four times the amount
NASA spent getting to the moon. |
00:01:11.280 - 00:01:15.120 |
| According to one survey,
96% of American children |
00:01:18.720 - 00:01:22.680 |
| know who Ronald McDonald is. |
00:01:22.760 - 00:01:25.200 |
| The only character more recognizable |
00:01:25.280 - 00:01:27.160 |
| is Santa Claus. |
00:01:27.240 - 00:01:29.240 |
