Fat...seriously fat...

Caught a commerical for the new Meat'Normous Omlet Sandwich at Burger King today. Seems that it's - according to a Burger King spokesman - "packed with meat. On top of meat. On top of...meat." The release goes on to say "[i]t's like an all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet on a bun." The sandwich has three slices of bacon, two slices of ham, a big sausage patty, two eggs, two slices of cheese, and a specialty bun. People will die, I tell you...die... Burger King hasn't even posted the nutritional information on their website. Admittedly, the sandwich has only been on the market for three days now, but I'm thinking someobody in the corporation knew the beast was coming and might've been able to find the nutritional info and get it to the IT department.

But, then again, we are living in the world of the monster thickburger, pictured above. 1420 calories in the one burger, along with 107 grams of fat. Two-thirds of a pound of beef, four strips of bacon, three slices of cheese, and mayonaise - to top it off, you know, you know.

I'll admit that I have a serious weakness for sweets - the pumpkin ice cream at the Cone is a particular favorite, as is pretty much anything else pumpkin, but I try to limit my intake somewhat. Anybody who makes a conscious effort to down something called meat'normous or monster thickburger pretty much doesn't give a diddly darn for their arteries.

C'mon folks, hasn't anybody seen Super Size Me, it's a fine film.
