102-Year-Old American Hero Just Wants to Eat White Castle on Her B-Day
LatestForget everything they told you in health class: It is, in fact, possible to survive past 100 and eat White Castle regularly. And Madeleine Turpan of Long Island is here to prove it. She just celebrated her 102nd birthday at the fast food restaurant and she couldn’t be healthier or happier. And she’s a former dietician.
I must admit I have never been to a White Castle, but I know about how great their burgers are from Jenny McCarthy’s book Jen X, which I devoured twice while on vacation at a resort with my parents (it helps that it was mostly pictures.) In her book, McCarthy points out that the reason White Castle burgers are so good is that due to their square shape they feel just as good coming out as they did going in, and I am going to guess that Turpan’s love of the fast food chain must have something to do with that as well. She’s been eating there for over 70 years, and if that’s not commitment, I don’t know what is.
