Burger King just released their latest product, an ice cream sundae covered with bacon bits. It consists of bacon atop vanilla ice cream, hot fudge, and delivers 510 calories, 18 grams of fat, 61 grams of sugar to the consumer.
With the recent war on transfats that has forced some states to pass legislation to ban the use of certain oils to make fast food staples like french fries, it looks like fast food restaurant chains are looking for new ways to kill us. What could be better than a ice cream sundae topped with bacon?
Why are they trying to kill us? One reason may be that coporation controlled fast food restaurants want to make sure Americans don't live long enough to collect Social Security or Medicare, the longer we live, the more strain we put on these social resources.
I really think that corporate America doesn't want to see Americans living so long, not long enough to collect social security or cash in their pensions. This will leave more money for the corporations in the long run.
As families are forced now to have both mom and dad working, families turn to fast food as a cheap alternative to having to cook a meal every night. Not only are famlies deprived of wholesome home coooking, but they are also exposed to a lot more salt and fat than they would normally be exposed to at home or even in a regular restaurant.
Having the worst dining opitons be the most convenient seems to be the way corporate America likes it.
Perhaps my theory is far-fetched, but regardless I just think this is another way that the shrinking middle class has to suffer in the face of coporations and the wealthy controlling our fate.
wow, ice cream and bacon? That is disgusting. I think it's terrible the way people eat now . People just don't realise or actually believe that the food the television tells us to eat is bad for us.
