Yes, but can you Supersize it?

Hardees yesterday announced the highest calorie fast food product ever made, the delightfully named "Monster Thickburger". Typically, the nanny-ish media are getting all upset about it, and more interestingly, Hardees seem to be catering to Red-America impulses in their defense of their decadent delight:
"It's not a burger for tree-huggers," said a Hardee's executive, rejoicing in their defiance of the fad for salads and "Atkins-friendly" menus.
Anyhow, enough politics, heres details. 2/3 of a pound of prime beef, 4 slices of bacon, 3 slices of processed cheese, mayonaisse, on a buttered bun. I think the buttering of the bun is the real masterstroke. It racks up over 1500 calories, and 100 grams of fat. America is truly the land of innovation.
I have requested any US based members of the nomadlife community to go and try one and write a restaurant style review - links will be posted if and when it happens.
