    I'd be more concerned about the high fructose corn syrup thats going to go in it, or the 100s of other chemicals they put into it..

    however..

    ice cream.. gooooood.
    bacon.. gooooood..

    together.. heaven!

    You think its too much to ask them to put a small french fry in it?

    French fries = awesome
    Ice Cream = awesome
    French fries dipped in ice cream = more awesome

    Bacon + Ice Cream + small french fries????? my mind was literally just blown

    Sounds delish! I won't be eating it because I know it wouldn't be good for me personally.
    That being said, I'm glad it's MY decision to make. :wink: Life is about choices. Yay!

    Yes, that sound you hear is one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse saddling his horse.

    However, in no way do I believe the solution to this to be US governmental regulation/intervention. Their meddling has already had a significant role in the current health of the population already.

    Haha Denny's used to have a maple bacon sundae and for the limited time it was there my best friend and I would go at least once a week to get them. They were delicious. Honestly, if it came back I would still try to work it into my calories probably once a week or so. I love the concept, although I don't want it from BK because I know it won't be as delicious.

    BTW - maple bacon sundae = vanilla ice cream, syrup, and bacon.

    As someone who believes any person that doesn't want to live has every right to end their own life if thats what they want to do, I think warning labels on food is a bit silly. People know bacon and icecream are bad for them. If they want to eat it, let them eat it.

    Just a friendly reminder...

    There are other health considerations besides just total calories.

    I'm with the "Hand me a spooners out there!"

    And where I live there is a restaurant called "Bacon & Butter"

    It just opened and yes, I will be eatting there this weekend. (After a looooong run!)

    But you don't have to if you don't want to. That's all there is to it.

    I would argue that bacon is not necessarily bad for people. Now the type of bacon BK is likely going to use is probably far from ideal, but there are still far worse foods a person could eat besides bacon...for example, the stuff that BK passes off as "ice cream". =P

    If everyone had this same attitude, MFP forums would be very boring.

    (Instead, MFP forums are just very stupid...and I'm not entirely sure which is better right now...)

    Oh snap! I just had ice cream too. How was I to know? I don't want to die. I have wife and kids... millions of kids! Why, god? Why?
    Sorry, I just couldn't help being reminded of that movie, The Stuff, about killer ice cream.

    Breakfast today for me was a very healthy protien shake with banana and peanut butter power and then just because I felt like it two slices of crispy well drained bacon. Added an extra 80 calories but I wasn't hungry again until 2:00 and I really enjoyed my breakfast. Honestly, I don't need to be told what to eat or not eat, as a grown up I would like to make those choices for myself.

    My dad wants one for fathers day this weekend. I promised him, we could. What can I say? We're a bacon eating family.

    I think that adding a bunch of grease to such an already bad dessert is just sick. Would you like your heart attack on a cone??? I mean ice cream itself isnt that great for you obviously but it does have plent of dairy in fact mostly dairy than anything else, but whats bacon? not much protein to it mainly grease i mean its okay to indulge once in awhile in a not so healthy treat but to add a bunch of grease to it well thats just purely irresponsible. Pick one or the other as ur treat sugar or grease not a mixture of both disgusting. As far as whose fault its societys in general. It costs me 4-5 dollars to make a homemade chicken salad yet go to mcdonalds and get a double cheeseburger and fries for 2 dollars. its costly to eat right i wont lie but i think its because everyone or mostly everyone does want to eat healthy so grocery stores rake up there prices basically if ur poor/low income go to dollar menu its ridiculous!

    I think it's hard to claim that someone wouldn't know that eating a bacon sundae is bad for them. I don't grab ice cream and think "Oh great! This is a fantastic meal for me!".

    I think there is more than enough information and opportunity out there for people to know that fattening food (ie bacon) is bad for them, and they may choose to what what they wish with that. Remember when Michelle Obama pushed for healthier lunch foods in schools? And when she worked with Walmart to make healthier food cheaper and more readily available? People reacted by blowing a head gasket and saying "HOW DARE SHE FORCE US TO FEED OUR KIDS HEALTHY FOODS! HOW DARE SHE TELL US WHAT WE SHOULD AND SHOULDN'T EAT! IF I WANTS MY BACON I'LL EATS IT!"

    I'm paraphrasing (kind of) but the general gist is - people don't eat unhealthy food because they don't realize it's bad for them. They eat it because they know and just don't care.

    Children don't always know, though, so what the schools serve I think is a slightly different category.

    Bacon and ice cream yeah they go to the same place but only if youre replacing that as your meal. if bacon is your main course which is not healthy at all then you would need to skip eating dinner and just the sundae not bacon for dinner then bacon desert thats sick.

    Needs a warning label? I'd have to disagree there...even the most nutritionally uneducated person would be able to tell that things like this are bad for you..otherwise, I'd have to wonder if their IQ is in the negative!! I agree with most everyone here. Let people make their own choices and deal with the outcome themselves.

    We don't need more nannies, we need to teach children accountability. No more of this public school "you are perfect the way you are" bull or "everyone is a winner". We need to teach them everything has consequences and that goes for exercise vs laziness or eating well vs stuffing yourself. Just watch the news: Nut jobs out there protesting because they took out student loans and now the bank has the nerve to ask them to pay it back. The hippies ruined an entire generation of children. We need to fix that and the choices the fast food companies offer will reflect the change in taste in the society as a whole. Companies only offer things like that because there is a market. Fix the market and the companies will follow suit or go under.

    Ice Cream does not equal bad.

    Bacon does not equal bad.

    You can enjoy both in moderation.

    It is not going to kill you or ruin your health to have one of these things. You may have issues if you ate them every day or multiple times a day... but one won't suddenly make you fat or unhealthy.
