[WCGreen]

6. Make that a Diet Coke Please........

[fryguy]

12. here's your fries

:puke:

[Seabiscuit]

17. Would you like to "supersize" that?

[Endangered Specie]

3. mmm, I could live a day off that.

[fryguy]

4. so could a small village in sub-Sahara Africa

eom

[Endangered Specie]

8. and your point being?

[fryguy]

13. that 1400+ calories for a single meal...

...is considerably more than what much of the world survives a day on....in fact, in some countries it is several times what people are able to eat....so, much like our rampant over-consumption of energy, we consume well beyond what is necessary to the point that could only be referred to as glutonous....

[Endangered Specie]

29. I said I would eat it for an entire day, not one meal...

1400 calories is considerable less than the 2000 recommended ;)

[fryguy]

39. but is 107 grams of fat recommended?

point taken on your single day caloric intake though....

[Droopy]

5. I'll have to try one of those before I die

They sound yummy. If I have one, that's just all I'll have to eat for the day.

[sasquatch]

7. As a fat American I can tell you my excuse

So I can survive Bush's intermant camp or nuclear winter.

[Endangered Specie]

9. Indeed, they will never draft me

;) :hi:

[LeftyMom]

10. The salad in the back is scary too

Would it kill somebody to sell a salad that didn't have a whole fucking chicken breast and two cups of ranch dressing on it?

[slutticus]

11. "something so nasty"

Speak for yourself!

:9

[fryguy]

15. funny thing is

i'm a meat eater, but that hamburger looks like crap and is so overloaded with stuff as to make it no longer taste like a good hamburger - even leaving behind the issue of fat and caloric intake...

....a well prepared hamburger should need nothing more than a bun a little ketchup and a pickle....once you start adding bacon, cheese, mayo and buttering the roll, you're no longer tasting the meat but all the condiments - so what does it matter that you're using angus beef...that's what, in addition to the resulting unhealthiness of the sandwich with so much crap on it, makes it nasty....

but if that's what you like to eat - god bless you and have at it

[slutticus]

16. Pickles suck

Hey...I have an idea! Lets make a post about a fucking hamburger into a FLAME WAR!!!

Come on...it'll be fun!

[Placebo]

18. Hamburger with just mustard & pickles...

BRING IT. :)

[slutticus]

19. Fuck off!

I'm not going to say it again! PICKLES SUCK!

And if you don't agree with me, then god bless you and have at it.

ON EDIT: Mustard sucks too! What is the matter with you people?

[Placebo]

20. hehehe...

slutticus pulled a FUNNNNNY. :9

[fryguy]

23. such venom over pickles

we're just talking about a CONDIMENT after all

[Placebo]

14. Mmm, but that looks so tasty.

I can always get heart surgery later, like Clinton.

And look at him! He ate that stuff and he was a two-term President!

[tmooses]

21. Do you want your coronary here or to go?

[GingerSnaps]

22. If you don't eat the bread then the meal is on the Atkins diet

:D

[ScreamingMeemie]

24. The very best burger is the butter burger...

I miss them. :(

[demnan]

25. I'm fat

but I don't eat like that. I hardly ever go to hamburger places and when I do, a whopper will do.

[noshenanigans]

26. Now I'm kinda craving a Double-Double, great. n/t

[terrya]

27. That's enough to make me want to become anorexic.

That's beyond gross. We Americans are disgusting pigs.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

28. I don't see why it's such a big deal that Hardee's has one of these.

Braum's has had them for quite awhile now. Two 1/3 slabs of meat on a bun with lettuce, tomato, pickles, onion and bacon. It's the same thing, and it looks better! And they serve theirs with a 22 ounce shake and krinkle fries. If you guys don't know what Braum's is, it's an Ice Cream and Dairy store that also has fast food. They are out of Tuttle, Oklahoma, and their milk is the best I've ever had in my life. The Skim actually tastes like 2%, the 2% tastes like Whole, and the whole is so rich, it's sooo good with Chocolate cake! Their secret is that they concentrate it.

30. You seem to have strong feelings about this

[RagingInMiami]

31. Don't come between a woman and her Braum's

[pagerbear]

32. I have no intention of coming between anyone and his/her anything

My post was a reply to the original post. And everyone else who seems to care an awful lot about what other people eat and how other people look.

[sniffa]

33. because god hates america

[retread]

34. Because they consume more calories than they burn??

[DS1]

35. Portion sizes at any given restaurant are pleasing to the eye

but ridiculous healthwise - even if you do take 3/4 of it home

[fluffernutter]

36. 1,420 calories? yikes. that's a days worth right there.

i wonder if anyone can really eat that thing in one sitting.

[datasuspect]

37. why do you hate hamburgers?

we'll never get dyed in the wool republicans to vote democratic if you attack uniquely american institutions like hardees?!?!!

[Rob H.]

38. Meh.

Now if they offered a "Monte Cristo option" that would let you get the whole thing deep-fried, well.... </sarcasm>
