If you frequently browse the articles on Yahoo's homepage like I do, then you've heard of the Fifth Thirds Burger, also known as, a heart attack on a bun. This thing is HUGE. It's got about 1.5 pounds of ground beef, chili, nacho cheese, salsa, tortilla chips, lettuce, tomato, and what looks to be condiments slathered all about. And it's all packed (somehow) between two halves of an 8 inch wide bun.
So what's with all this talk about obesity rates on the rise? Cardiovascular disease? High cholesterol? Diabetes? I think eating something like this could cover all those pretty efficiently. Granted, there aren't very many people in the world who could even consume such a thing in one sitting, but why entice people by placing something like this in front of them? There are so many people out there who lack self control when it comes to eating. Which I believe is the reason why obesity exists in our society. Food is just everywhere. It's so easy to come by, and there's so much variety. It's hard to ignore it.
Humans need food to survive, but do we really need a Fifth Thirds Burger to survive?
