On "Supersize Me", Burt Baskin's nephew says that his uncle was 51 when he died. The date of birth and death don't jive with that. He also said he was 240 pounds. Does anyone know how tall he was? Just wondering. D.K.74.98.189.68 19:05, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Just corrected the weight, which was showing as "over 550 lbs." back to the figure given in "SuperSize Me": 240 lbs. [1]. We still need a reliable source for the age and weight, as both are from comments in the movie, where its his animal rights activist saying he weighed "about 240 lbs." and "I think he was 51".

[edit] early life facts

there are some contradictory information in this article, i tried to clean it up, but i can't find verification on what is true or not. The article originally had his birthplace as San Diego, then an addition of Streator, Illinios. Also he is stated to have went to college in san diego and university of illinois. Is there any way to verify this? the streater newspaper archives only go to 2001. thanks! Minnaert (talk) 16:13, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
