Friendly's came out with a new grilled cheeseburger concoction.

http://www.aolnews.com/weird-news/article/friendlys-burgermelt-even-more-fattening-than-kfcs-double-down/19529797

From Friendly's site, the "nutritional" information on the Grilled Cheese BurgerMelt:
1,500 calories
870 fat calories
79 g total fat
38 g saturated fat
180 g cholesterol
2,090 mg sodium
101 g carbs
9 g dietary fiber
4 g sugar
54 g protein
This all adds up to 100 percent of your daily requirement of self-loathing.

HOW TERRIBLE IS THIS??

    Disgusting. Eventually the government will have to get involved and set maximums since it is bordering on criminal the way food companies are stuffing addictive crap into our bodies.

    If you guys think that's bad you should do a little internet search on a place called the Heart Attack Grill - rightly named. Featuring names of burgers such as the Double and Quad named after the bi-passes you would need after eating them. Seriously check it out, I'm telling you you will not believe these burgers.

    I looked at that Heart Attack Grill! Terrible!

    I actually do think that the government should soon make it illegal to serve things so terrible for you!

    That's awesome. I just started using a HRM and mine only logged that I burned 465 in my class yesterday. I try to do it twice a week, too. It wasn't the normal instructor so it didn't feel like half the workout I normally get.

    those totals make me sick just looking at them. I worry about our teenagers that have no clue what they are putting in their mouth's.

    I'm to the point of thinking that the government SHOULD get involved.
    Tax the fast food crap so high that people won't eat it. That is awful...

    Yuck. Double Down Yuck. There's a difference between liking to eat, and just in-your-face gluttony. This doesn't even sound appetizing.

    I’m prone to agreeing with you on this. As a (hopeful) reformer of bad eating habits, I know that health issues came with that. I think taxes should be higher on the harmful luxuries in the world and not on the necessities. I’m also a supporter of taxing chips and soda even if it means I pay extra for my beloved seltzer water!
