Angioplasty, perhaps a stomach stapling, in a breakfast sandwich!?

"Wake up to a mouthful of breakfast with the Enormous Omelet Sandwich. Two slices of melted, American cheese, two fluffy eggs stuffed with three crispy strips of bacon, and a sizzling sausage patty, piled high on a toasted bun. The Enormous Omelet Sandwich from B-RGER K-NG®. So big, breakfast will never be the same." Your arteries may never be the same, after eating this sandwich. While I don't blame anyone else for MY weight problems, having obviously unhealthy food marketed like this doesn't help anyone. Noone NEEDS this many calories or fat for a meal. What you eat is a choice - when you're an adult. I heard on TV that this sandwich is aimed at the 16-24 year old set. I am CERTAIN that if this had been available a couple of years ago, I would have tried it - at least once! I mean, I did have my share of breakfast sandwiches from both major fast food chains, and they did contribute a huge amount to my excess caloric intake. While I was pregnant, what did I "crave" - but deep fried breakfast potatoes & sausage breakfast sandwiches. Subsequently during three pregnancies, I gained 130 pounds. I'm not blaming anyone, but my children are at LEAST made up of 25% breakfast sandwiches. :-x Perhaps if you're trying to gain weight, or a unhealthy heart condition, this is for you?

Why not just melt a half a stick of butter and drink it instead? Or, crack open a can of Crisco and take a few licks? Or, the equivalent of four donuts? Now, that should put lovely images in your head, you know how I like to use that special "food imagery". And, yes, I mean to offend, the people at www. bk. com should be put in obese-empathy suits and force fed sausage patties and rubber egg discs. -Melting Mama *

Sounds like a heart attach on a bun to me! Yuck! Isn't it amazing that now things like this sound totally repulsive to us. This would sound fabulous to my husband. He is a big eater, works construction but if he didn't he would probably weigh 300 lbs. Some days I can't even watch him eat because it makes me ill to see the amount of food he consumes. At least now what he consumes at home is healthy.

..And to think...a year ago this would have been oh so yummy...yummy wnough, I prolly would have ordered 2 at a time..with a Diet Pepsi, of course.... Dawn, I know how ya feel about getting ill watching hubby eat..I do too at times. In fact..funny, but not to him...we went to a restaurant the other night. They are known for having chicken fried steak, as big as TX itself....Kerry ordered a small one...still as big as a dinner plate, with fried okra and mac and cheese...well, we got home, I get on the computer, when I hear him calling me... I go downstairs, and he is bright pink, sweating, nauseous...he asks me what dumping is...I laughed my butt off as he was cursing me and my "damn low fat crap" that I have been making. He has not had fried full fat things in almost a year! LMAO! HE DUMPED! LOL Poor baby...he thought only WLS people dumped...I guess not! He should have known it was not good for him! Hee hee Janice

I know I shouldn't laugh at him. . .but that's hilarious! Umm. . .yeah, gall bladders can attack all . . .not just the post-operative WLS folk. . .and when you get too much fat in, BAD things happen. I often think that if satan showed up and offered me not to have to go through a dumping for my mortal soul.. . .I'd have some serious thinking to do Huggles, ~Lara
