“Meaty, cheesy, bacony.” And obese-ity and heart-attacky!<\/p>\n
The BK Stacker, brought to you by Burger King (and perhaps a cardiologists<\/a><\/strong>‘ association, to ensure lots of business). <\/p>\n According to Burger King’s Web site, you can have your BK Stacker<\/a><\/strong> with double, triple, or quadruple layers of cheese and beef. And it comes with an unspecified sauce and<\/em> bacon. And here’s the best<\/em><\/strong> part: “No veggies allowed.” (That last statement may not be 100% accurate. It looks like the sauce is Thousand Island dressing<\/a><\/strong>, which typically has sweet relish–made from pickles–and onion in the ingredients.) <\/p>\n Some highlights of Burger King’s “nutritional” analysis for a double stacker*–i.e., two beef patties and two slices of American cheese: 610 calories, 350–more than half!<\/em>–calories from fat. 39 grams total fat, 16 grams saturated fat (that’s the bad kind). 125 milligrams of cholesterol. 1,100 milligrams of sodium. One gram of dietary protein.<\/p>\n Wondering about the quadruple stacker*? That’s four layers each of beef and cheese. 1,000 calories, 620–again, more than half–from fat. 68 grams total fat, 30 grams saturated fat. 240 milligrams of cholesterol. 1,800 milligrams of sodium. And still just a single gram of dietary protein.<\/p>\n I’m not sure why I’m including this post in my “Food” category ….<\/p>\n
