Morning Briefing

Los Angeles Times – September 13, 1976

Speaking of diets, here is a typical breakfast for Benny and Billy McGuire, the wrestling twins from Hendersonville, N.C.: A dozen eggs, a loaf of toast and couple of pounds of bacon.  That’s for each.

For dinner, each one is likely to have three or four 12-ounce steaks, four of five baked potatoes and a half gallon of iced tea.

For dessert?

“A half a cupcake,” says Benny.  “You don’t want us to get fat, do you?”

Benny weighs over 700 pounds.  He and Billy weigh a combined 1,474 pounds and are enshrined in the Guinness Book of World Records as the world’s largest twins.
