>Also, proof that he bought that number of Big Macs is not proof that he consumed them.

Quite correct. My pasteboard McDonald's hat is off to you.

Part of my willingness to believe came from the fact the CNN story actually *showed* him eating what was alleged to be a Big Mac. If it was him. If he didn't just spit out the food off-camera. If it was food.

And do we know who's *really* behind the Guinness Book that "verifies" these claims? I mean, do we really?
