Hardee's 920-calorie burrito

"Give the people what they want." That's what a good friend of mine always says when I complain about the newest high-calorie/high-fat fast food concoction. The latest is Hardee's 920-calorie breakfast burrito with a whopping sixty grams of fat. Ouch.

Touted as a portable big southern breakfast, the burrito has half a day's intake of calories and an entire days worth of fat. The Center for Science in the Public Interest calls the burrito "food porn" and "another lousy invention by a fast food company." Hardee's denies any culpability, claiming that their customers have to buy two sandwiches to fill up at other fast food joints. They're just doing them a favor. Hey Hardee's -- remind me not to ask you to do me any favors, ok?

So Hardee's is doing us a favor by making this burrito. Jeez, and I wonder why people are fat. People are too used to the convenience of fast food now you can go there and get a burrito that is almost 1000 calories. And apparently they made it that big "to fill us up". If you need to eat that much in one sitting to "fill up" then you have a serious problem. But I can't put all the blame on fast food. Bottom line is fat people aren't lazy, lazy people are fat.
