"Some of America’s favorite chains have concocted some thoroughly repellent dishes that make the Double Quarter Pounder look like a celery stick.

Although the organic movement has certainly started to influence how Americans think about their food, it is still no match for the American fast food industry, which continuously finds creative new ways of piling sugar, salt and fat on a plate and charging customers $4.99 for the privilege of eating it.

In recent years, in fact, some of America's favorite chains have gone above and beyond the call of duty and concocted thoroughly repellent dishes that make the Double Quarter Pounder look like a celery stick. These companies have offered Americans these revolting meals despite the fact that roughly one-third of the country is now obese, a deplorable state of affairs that accounting firm Pricewaterhouse Coopers estimates costs the U.S. health-care system $200 billion a year in wasted spending.

In this article, we'll name and shame the very worst offenders, whether they're 1,400-calorie hamburgers or 550-calorie cups of coffee. So let's get things rolling with …

Oh my stars. A Nonno link I don't need to vaporize with sound reasoning.
What next? World peace?

KFC has a long and proud history of making Americans morbidly obese, but the company reached a new high in 2007 when it unleashed its Famous Bowl upon the world. The Bowl is really a variation on a classic American method of cooking that involves taking a bunch of unhealthy goo from different sources and then slopping them all into a bowl. In this particular example, KFC threw together mashed potatoes, corn, fried chicken, gravy and cheese to create a 720-calorie horror that contains 1 1/2 times your daily fat allowance. The thought of joylessly plowing through the Bowl's starchy potatoes, greasy gravy and processed cheese sounds about as soulless and monotonous as working in a puppy-slaughtering factory.

I always wonder who comes up with this gross crap :lol: I'm not the healthiest eater in the world, but these disgusting concoctions make me queasy. The idea of gravy and cheese with fried stuff... :dead: I can't even face cheese and bacon fries.

I would enjoy seeing an analysis of the Uber Glob of Goo that is the fattiest part of one of your rib eyes. :evil:

So you've never tried poutine? :yum: It's a Canadian thing. French fries with gravy, topped with cheese (or cheese curd). It's very good!

That sounds delicous!!

Those weren't so bad. I'd eat all of them and enjoy it.:lol:

Guess she would never eat here. Heart Attack Grill - Taste Worth Dying For! (http://www.heartattackgrill.com) I want to try it but not bad enough to fly out there.

Those weren't so bad. I'd eat all of them and enjoy it.:lol:

Numbers 2, 3 , 4, 5 sounded really good, and the poutine sounds like a good side dish to some of these.

Hardee's Monster Thick Burger!

I'll take two please!:drool:

Steaks aren't ALL fat, plus you burn a lot of it off on the grill. That stuff in the article is just disgusting.

:yeahthat: Especially when you grill them to a crispy, well-done perfection! :clap:

No, of course they are not all fat. I think a leaner steak is, what, 1/3 fat? I'm talking about the fatty edges, the 100% globs of goo. Fried to a crisp or not, it doesn't transform into bean sprouts. :lol:

A 'well done' steak is pink, maybe even purple.
