In my travels around the internet, I bump into a lot of interesting articles and posts, but this one takes the cake. I mean burger.
It's at the Urban Toronto forum, where member ganjavih posted about his recent trip to San Diego and Tijuana, complete with pictures. When I saw this picture, I thought the last remaining brain cell that had been rattling around in my head for some time now had finally exploded.
Well. I, for one, am glad to know that the US represents the freedom to eat McDonald's whenever, wherever, and however I damn well please. Whew, was that a relief. For a minute there I thought they might take away my right to put
* 56g of fat (which is 86% of your daily fat intake)
* 17 g of saturated fat (which is 25% of your daily fat intake, while at the same time keeping in mind that saturated fat should be restricted to 10% of fat intake per day)
* 91 g of sugar (the same amount that's in a medium sized slurpee)
* 1490 mg of sodium (recommended intake is 1500 mg per day, so that's 99.3% of your daily intake)
* and a whopping 1440 calories (and as, on average, daily calories consumed is about 2000, that's 72% of your daily calorie count)
into my body, all in the form of a Big Mac Meal.
God bless America.
