jack in the box junior bacon deathburger

what costs only $1 and may kill you (quicker)? well, that would be the junior bacon cheeseburger from jack and the box. it seems they have the most unhealthy item on any fast food value menu with that little gem. the burger weighs in with 23 grams of fat, 860 milligrams of sodium.

in their defense, "jack in the box spokesman brian luscomb said the burger was a 'great value for guests looking for a flavorful meal, but if you are looking for something else there are plenty of other great items on our value menu to choose from,' including a chicken sandwich and a salad."

whatever. if you don't know that a bacon cheeseburger from a fast food joint is bad for you then you're not smart. just because it's cheap doesn't mean you should eat it.

Um yes I'm looking for a flavorful meal that will kill me.

People arent smart, especially fat people. Oh wait no fat people are just lazy. Hmm not sure what stereotype to go with there.

In any case though people are just not getting the major health problems that are associated with obesity otherwise over half of our population would not be overweight so no I dont think people are smart. But heck if you want to be fat and die much sooner by all means keep eating your bacon cheeseburgers. I think thats what Darwin would refer to as survival of the fittest.

just take off the bun and that fat is no big deal. why didn't you cite the carb count, ed?

edluv said...

i didn't give the carb count because the didn't give it in the article, or at least i didn't see it.

and even without the bun, the fat and sodium levels are problematic for healthy diets. high in fat generally &#8800 healthy.

hmm, that number sting should be not equal to, but it appears that i didn't format it right.

for test sake,
<&#8800>

what's weird is that code has worked before for me, here on the blog and also i think on the beehive, but i hadn't tried it in the comments.

Yeah, I don't know. The number codes are tricky. Have you tried it with a semi-colon at the end? ASCII is finicky sometimes, or rather, websites are finicky about which codes they allow and where.

well, there it is. but your code seems easier to remember.
