A man from West Virginia who served in World War II celebrated his 100th birthday at McDonald's on Friday.

Zan White has been having breakfast at a McDonald's in Elkins almost every day for 36 years as part of a group he set up that's been dubbed the ROMEO Club, an abbreviation for Retired Old Men Eating Out, he told local TV station WDTV. He often dines there with a group of about a dozen friends.


White told the station he wasn't sure why he'd lived so long but that he didn't plan on changing his habits as he got older.

"I've been coming here for 36 years — I can't stop now," he said.

White served as a radar repairman during World War II. Apart from this, he's spent his whole life living in Elkins.

"I've seen Zan every morning pretty much for the 24 years I've been working. It's a joy to see him every morning, it's one of the highlights of my day," Mark Godwin, a McDonald's area supervisor, told WDTV.

He only eats McDonald’s breakfast because the non-breakfast items are too expensive

They're implying that a man who happens to have eaten McDonald's breakfast every morning for 36 years also happens to be celebrating his 100th birthday. It doesn't need to be any more than that, schizo, just a highlight of an unusual habit of an unusually old man.

McDonalds is healthy, any claim it isn't comes from leftists seething about "evil rich capitalists". Healthier than vegan slop and soylent, anyway.

Is schizobabble not worth heeding. A mcDicks burger is a kaiser roll, beef, lettuce, cheese, tomato, onion, pickle, and mustard. We accept all of these things as healthy on their own, why is it suddenly distilled poison when combined into a sandwich?

Proven fake news. As I said, leftists raging about capitalism and American cultural dominance.
