Vioxx may give you a heart attack, but I think this will do just as good a job finishing you off.

This is what is really wrong with the health of America. Thanks, Hardee’s — for creating “food porn.”

This really makes you feel sick — who eats this sh*t? 1,420 calories in America’s new monster hamburger. (News Telegraph):

America’s appetite for junk food has taken on terrifying new proportions in the form of the highest calorie hamburger ever marketed to a nation already sick from overeating.

…[Hardee’s] Monster Thickburger consists of two slabs of Angus beef (664 calories) and four rashers of bacon (150 calories) with three slices of processed cheese (186 calories), plus mayonnaise (160 calories), sandwiched between a sesame seed bun (230 calories) spread with butter for a final 30.

The burger requires “two hands, a firm grip and a serious appetite”, Hardee’s boasts. It is also a “heart attack in a bun”, say nutritionists.

..Hardee’s previous attempt to seduce big eaters was the plain Thickburger.

“If the old Thickburger was ‘food porn’, the new Monster Thickburger is the fast-food equivalent of a snuff movie,” the Centre for Science in the Public Interest commented.

That said, I don’t want to hear about someone suing Hardee’s for this; no one is forcing a Thickburger down anyone’s throat. Not that it would fit.
