Ballpark Burger - Does It Need a Warning?

As a writer for "AOL Health," one my greatest pleasures (and horrors) is writing about the latest and most outrageous fast food disasters. While I've come across some doozies in my reporting, nothing quite compares to the West Michigan Whitecaps' soon-to-be-released four-pound, $20 sandwich, which is boasted to contain five beef patties, five slices of cheese, nearly a cup of chili and liberal doses of salsa and corn chips, all crammed in an eight-inch bun, amounting to 4,800-calories. Yes, that's nearly two and a half day's worth of calories! No wonder a dietitian from the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine called this seriously bad burger a "dietary disaster."
