Battle of the Bulge

How would you like one of these? Its a Burger King quad stacker burger. Just look at all that nutritional goodness. 4 beef patties, 4 slices of cheese, 4 pieces of bacon. Salad … no way, thats for wimps! 1 000 calories and 68 grams of fat per burger. I hope they have defibrillators and qualified medical people at the Burger King’s where they sell them.

You have to wonder who the marketing genius who thought this up was. Clearly they’ve never heard bigger is not necessarily better, nor do they have the remotest concept of healthy eating or any consideration that they might, just might, have something to do with the obesity epidemic.

This particular pile of fat and grease hasn’t reached Australia, so here’s a review of the delights of ploughing through one. Interestingly, it claims 8 strips of bacon not 4, just to push the modest excess that little bit further. And if one of these is not enough to satisfy your hunger, some Burger King’s have a buy one get one free offer!!!

But this isn’t the biggest burger going around. Hardee’s - a chain we don’t have here, has a Monster Thickburger, which is about a third bigger again. A mere 1 420 calories and 107 grams of fat. Yummy!

PS- A couple of these would sort out the likes of Nicole Ritchie and Keira Knightley.
