    Cool Breakfast Time! -Gooooood Morning Fat America!



    Ha, yeah f'ing right. Disgusting!

    Good Morning Fat America......

    In the midst of first lady Michelle Obama's campaign against child obesity and chef Jamie Oliver's prime-time TV initiative for cleaner cooking, a chicken chain is crowing about some aggressively fat-laden fare.
    KFC's long-rumored Double Down waddles into stores on April 12, boasting an ingredient list that prompted a copywriters' caveat on the product's Web page that it is "Real! No fooling."

    The bun-free ("so meaty, there's no room") sandwich features two pieces of bacon, two slices of melted cheese and "Colonel's Sauce" - which KFC officials said is a "zesty mayonnaise" -- slathered between two chicken filets, either original recipe (540 calories and 32 fat grams per KFC.com) or the slightly slimmer grilled version (460 calories and 23 fat grams).

    Response from around the Internet ranges from Consumerist.com's "mysteriously tempting (and potentially lethal)" and the Huffington Post's "going too far" to the Lincoln Journal Star's "fast-food-related crimes against humanity," but KFC's gamble on the Double Down's outré appeal to calorie scoffers seems downright chicken in light of a new baseball concession pitched by the Toledo Mud Hens.

    Wow! I am torn. That looks so good, but on the same hand, it looks to be an innard killing ponch/ass maker!

    Thank god for my excellent metabolism. Apr 12 you say hey?

    I almost got sick just looking at that. It amazes me what people are willing to eat! I mean, I've enjoyed fast food just as much as the next guy when I was younger, but the last few years I've stayed as far away from that sort of food as possible and I feel so much better!

    Disgusting! haha

    Ok this is just getting out of hand, to be totally honest a 540 calorie breakfast sandwich is FAR from the worst thing you can have. Granted it is a lot of calories from fat but all in all it's not that bad.

    Here is a short list of things that trump it hugely!

    Farmer Boys bacon breakfast burrito: 1003 Calories
    McD Sausage Biscuit with Egg: 570 Calories
    McD McSkillet Burrito w/sausage :610 Calories
    Jack's Sausage Burrito : 729 Calories
    Jack's Hearty Breakfast Bowl: 853 Calories


    So really, in the grand scheme of fast food breakfasts this is far from ground breaking, lard packing, fatness.

    Signed,
    I had 6 hard boiled egg whites and a banana for breakfast.

    Note: I wouldn't eat it, but only because I avoid all fast food as much as possible... well other than the occasional In-N-Out action.
