Would you like FAT with that?
September 3rd, 2008 by Richard & Joey Marc
Honestly and truely do we really need a burger that contains 70grams of FAT? Of course NOT…
It is disgusting that in society today we are more aware then ever about the problem of obesity but fast food chains continue to place food products out there that are only contributing to the problem further!
A brand new Quad Burger from Hungry Jacks, which comes with four beef patties, four slices of cheese, two rashers of bacon, barbecue sauce, and two buns and has no lettuce or vegetables has gone on sale in Australia this week.
The burger has more than 70g of fat and over 4520Kj (1000 calories) – half the daily recommended calorie intake for a woman and nearly one-third for a man.
Not only is it going to effect the calorie intake and health for adults, imagine what this burger will do for the body systems of kids who eat it?
And lets be realistic not only is the Fat content a concern in the burger, we also need to think about how long it is going to take for the body to digest the 4 beef patties & 2 rashers of bacon it has in one meal sitting - from one burger!It is definately not a friendly meal for the digestive system that’s for sure!
Given the extent of the worldwide obesity problem I just can not believe that fast food chains are aloud to continue come out with new and improved burgers that contain endless amounts of empty calories which do absolutely nothing for any persons health and wellbeing.

That is so disgusting. I can’t imagine eating anything that big or so full of fat. How would anyone even fit it in their mouths? I haven’t eaten fast food for a number of years now (since becoming a vegetarian) but they sure do have a LOT to answer for.
