Whose says you can never have too much bacon?  Anyone with sense, that’s who.  Rudd’s Munsell noted with amusement how fast food chains “combine every type of meat on one sandwich.”  The Baconat
or was relentlessly hyped for a while.  A Wendy’s spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment.

The Triple Whopper makes the Quarter Pounder with Cheese seem like health food.  At 1,180 calories, it packs more than twice the punch of the McDonald’s burger, which has 535 calories.  In a statement to 24/7 Wall St., the company referred to the Triple Whopper as an “indulgent option for  our guests. ”  Burger King says it encourages customers to eat healthy choices that provide 650 calories or less – approximately one-third of a 2,000 calories diet.

Subway unhealthy?  In some cases, the answer is “yes.”  While this sandwich is low in calories and fat, it is high in salt. The portions of Subway’s Footlong sandwiches are too large, Munsell notes.   Subway did not respond to a request for comment.

Anyone eating this monstrosity might not realize that the USDA recommends that people eat a portion of meat roughly the size of deck of cards.  This Wendy’s monster burger clocks in at a whopping 423 grams.  Wendy’s has struggled for years against larger rivals.  It unloaded its underperforming Arby’s chain earlier this week to private-equity group Roark Capital Group. Wendy’s did not respond to a request for comment.

Taco Bell has mastered the art of blending meats and cheese in ever creative caloric combinations.  XXL Grilled Stuft Burrito Beef is a monument to gluttony. Taco Bell calls it its “biggest burrito yet.”   It has “a blend of three cheeses – cheddar, pepper jack and mozzarella – flavorful seasoned rice, hearty beans, reduced-fat sour cream, chunky guacamole, avocado ranch and fiesta salsa, wrapped up in a warm flour tortilla.”  Taco Bell’s sales have been hurt by the publicity surrounding the quality of its beef.
