In the name of all that is holy!!!

Seriously now, do we really need a milkshake that has over 2300 calories??? What is wrong with people? Why would you even create something like this??? Observe...




Who had the bright idea to try and choke the customer with half a pound of sugar?? And 320% of the RDA for Saturated Fat?? If heart disease doesn't get you first then I'm sure the Type II Diabetes that all the sugar you consume will. This is insane. In a world where people sue MacDonalds for making them fat, we have people selling these death shakes to anyone who wants to chug one down. Imagine your kid eating two or three of these a week. You need ID to buy cigarettes and beer, but a 4 year old can order up one of these meals in a cup without a parent present even. Baskin Robbins is sick and wrong... They just lost a customer.


And if that wasn't bad enough, check out this death burger! Hardee's Monster Thickburger. Imagine having one of those 1420 calorie burgers for lunch and sucking down a death shake on the way back to the office. The wonders of fast food have now made it possible to consume nearly 4000 calories in a simple meal.


This is a very interesting chart that is worth taking a look at . CLICK HERE TO SEE IT It is a little long to cut and paste, but if you ever wanted to know how many calories you were forcing into your body, or your kids' bodies, then this is something you need to look at.


I'm seriously the last person on Earth who is going to be watching what I eat. I'm 6'2" and weigh about 160 fully dressed with a leather coat on. I could probably stand to eat a couple burgers and a milkshake once in awhile. What I'm concerned about are the people who have heart disease in their history or have a potential for it by their diets, and the fast food industry seems to be hell bent on killing every single one of them with their menus. Don't we have enough to worry about??
