Fast-food industry is fattening up its fare & America is eating it up

By Kate Santich - Orlando Sentinel - September 19 2006,

Surely every American old enough to place his own Happy Meal order knows there's an obesity epidemic in this country. Despite this -- and despite piles of research on the evils of diets high in saturated fat and sodium and low in fiber -- American fast-food chains continue to roll out bigger, fatter, more decadent fare.Consider this summer's debut of Burger King's BK Stackers, which include a Quad Stacker option of four slabs of beef, four slices of cheese and up to eight slices of bacon -- "smothered," as the company puts it, in a creamy sauce.

"This burger might better be called the quadruple-bypass special," says Jeff Novick, director of nutrition for the Pritikin Longevity Center. "Fast food like this is great if you're in a hurry -- to die."The behemoth sandwich -- defibrillator sold separately -- contains 1,000 calories and a whopping 68 grams of fat, including 30 grams of saturated fat. According to nutritionists, that's about half the calories and 1-1/2 times the saturated fat the average adult should consume in an entire day.

For its part, Burger King says it is simply giving the public what it wants."We're satisfying the serious meat lovers by leaving off the produce and letting them decide exactly how much meat and cheese they can handle," says Denny Marie Post, the corporation's senior vice president.

FFS! "Satisfying the serious meat lovers."???? Of course all the serious meat lovers (read - fat fucks) would love it! You could shove a pig up a cows arse, roll it in batter and deep fry it still kicking and the bastards would come running. How come you can sell extra fatty food to the obese, but I can't get a beer over 5% alcohol or even a straight shot of spirits at the Lappo? Why do companys pander to fat people? Fuck em I say, taxes should be paid by the kilo!

Although I am going to patent the pig-cow fry up thingy, probably with a chook shoved up the pigs arse, and give it a catchy name like KPC. Between Dodds and Apps I should be a millionare in no time and then buy a pub so I can get some extra strong piss.
