*Fast Food* "Good or Bad...or who cares?"


We eat fast food. Why? Because it's delicious. We all love fries and chicken fingers and burgers because they are unequivocally delicious. And we still eat them because of this reason even though we know there are pretty much no health benefits to eating fast food. But what is the most unhealthy burger in the whole of the US?



It's from Carl Jr's. I've personally never been to a Carl Jr's or heard of one for that matter, but I did a little research and found that it was the most unhealthy burger in the United States. So what's in this burger that makes it so unhealthy??
The unhealthiest burger in the US is called the Double Six Dollar Burger, straight out of Carl Jr's. What are the ingredients is this burger? Well it has two angus patties, multiple slices of cheese, lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles, mustard and mayonnaise. I feel my heart pulsating already.
And the burger has a whopping 1520 calories! That's more calories than most people eat in a day. Can you imagine eating that for lunch and then going back to work?  And along with the 1520 calories there are 111 grams of fat. That's a little much.  A giant burger that has over 1500 calories? No thank you. Well...maybe! 

1500 calories is the equivalent of.....

Fourteen 8 oz cans of coca cola


28 Apples

8 Donuts


or 6 and a half slices of cheese pizza


Let me just ask, is it REALLY necessary to serve a burger that has 1520 calories and 111 grams of fat? This is why a whopping 70% of Americans are overweight! And just imagine adding an order of fries and a soda to that order. It is close to 2000 calories at the end of the day.
