Fast Food Frankenstein Continues
Last Spring I posted a story about 10 New Fast Food Items in the Works. The post was a farce. I truly didn’t really think so many fast food companies would actually begin to try and outdo each other creating mondo-caloric foods that dwarf the fatty crap they already sell.
I was wrong. So very, wrong.
Instead of restraining themselves, and considering the obesity epidemic in America, fast food makers have bluntly shouted “Fuck You” to the health conscious movement and have begun unleashing their monstrosities en-mass.
Witness Carl Jr’s new foot long burger. A 1400-calorie monster burger. Monster burger? Does everything in this country have to be super-sized? Yes!
The foot long burger is just one example though. It’ll get worse. Quickly.
I guess Carl’s, KFC, Friendly’s and the like, figure they bare little responsibility for America’s fatness. It’s our personal responsibility. Our choice not to eat these cheap, sugary/fat sandwiches. They are in it for the profit. And these things sell, especially at just $4 a foot-long burger.
So, it’s up to our collective self-restraint to avoid buying these giant bad-for-us foods. Personally, I won’t. But the sad reality is I just bought some stock in Carl’s Jr.
Eat up America. Die early. That way I get more Social Security to live on.
