Burgers Out of Control


It's official... the fast food industry has accelerated their efforts to kill us.
Few people took notice when McDonald's recently introduced the
"DOUBLE Quarter Pounder" cheeseburger.
That's because Wendy's had already been selling
those half-pounder cheeseburgers for years prior to that.

But... when Wendy's brought back their infamous
"TRIPLE" (fully three quarters of a pound of beef), some
people did express concern... even disgust.
The burger even looked ridiculous with that inch-and-a-half thick
stack of three big slabs of beef between two buns.
Their "TRIPLE" was the equivalent of three of their
full-size regular cheeseburgers... and it was the equivalent
of SIX of their "Jr. Cheeseburgers"... all in one sandwich!

Now... hold onto your seat (literally)... because Burger King
has just introduced the new "B.K. Stacker" which is...
... I swear I am not making this up... FOUR big quarter-pound
slabs of beef... (a FULL POUND)... with FOUR cheese slices...
and wait, I'm not done... EIGHT STRIPS OF BACON on the top,
with a thick layer of mayo-based sauce!

That is the meat-equivalent of TEN (10) of their small cheeseburgers,
in just this one sandwich! Ten!!!!

I just went to the Burger King website... and they clearly state that
this is their one burger for which you cannot "have it your way"...
because, as they say, "no veggies are allowed" so they will
not honor requests for lettuce or tomato, etc. They call it a
"mountain of beef, bacon, and cheese" on a buttery bun.

The nutritional page says that this one sandwich alone has
ONE THOUSAND CALORIES and 68 GRAMS of FAT!

(For the average size person, their daily calorie intake should be
around 2,000 calories, and no more than 60 grams of fat....
and that is for the whole day.)

And you know that 90% of the people who order it are going to ADD
a large order of French Fries, and a Large Coke.

Break out your "man-dress" - you are going to need it.
God save us from ourselves... this is insanity.
