Hardee’s unveils the “Monster Thickburger” [2] and some serious medical complications for the food police ensued almost at once.
Seriously; the coronary problems this caused among the usual far lefters is extrodinary. These people are downright apoplectic.
Michael Jacobsen, the executive director of the Center for Science in the Public Interest, says this is a heart attack in a bun.
“These ‘Thickburgers’ are quintessential food porn — oozing with artery-clogging fat,” says Jacobson.
… doubtless clutching his chest.
Hardees [3] says they’re just giving the marketplace what they want. and that’s likely true enough.
Thing is, that for all the tut-tutting going on…. this new offering from Hardees isn’t even the biggest fixins out there… I’ve engaged a Wendy’s triple from time to time over the years… (That’s a 3/4 lb burger, gang)…so this Hardees thing at 2/3 of a lb is no big feat.
The nearest Hardee’s to me here in Rochester, (at least, if I stay stateside) is around a three and a half hour drive… the second exit off I-90 into Ohio and about 30 miles south from there.
But I might drive down to Ohio and get one, just to tick off the food police. I know the area well; perhaps on a train-spotting trip over the winter It’s about a half hour from a favorite photo location.
I’ll report back if I do.
Reynolds suggests Karl Rove arranged it [4] so as to get rid of Michial Moore.
Hmmm. Not a bad idea.
