Backlash burger

Food porn: the 'Monster Thickburger" by Hardee's.

For all those who secretly hate all the diets, the low-fat products and the whole weight watching mania - go to the closest branch of the fast food chain Hardee's (part of the same group as Carl's Jr.) and order the newly added Monster Thickburger:

While many of its competitors have downplayed traditional burgers in the last two years while scrambling to add lower-fat salads and grilled chicken offerings to their menus, Hardee's has taken a different approach. With two one-third-pound beef patties, four strips of bacon, and three slices of cheese, the 4-inch-tall burger has 1,417 calories and a whopping 107 grams of fat. McDonald's Big Mac, with 560 calories and 30 grams of fat, doesn't even come close. According to CEO Andrew Puzder, the sales results for this "politically incorrect burger" have been "encouraging". (...) A college student wrote in an email to Puzder: "While other restaurants became low-carb cowards in the face of moronic 'they made me fat' lawsuits, you did the AMERICAN thing."

I know it's not cool. But I went to the website CalorieControl and checked what it takes to burn the calories of this monster burger. It takes 1.9 hours of running, 2.4 hours in a aerobics class, 4.8 hours of walking - or 18.3 hours of watching TV. Plus: Hardee wants you (male fast-food lover) to forget your fashionable South Beach Diet right away. That's way they created this sexy commercial with model Cameron Richardson riding a bull - and bet that you will beg for a Thickburger after watching it. Some people think this is just all food porn...
