New 8,000 calorie burger at Heart Attack grill
I think you should be able to sell anything you want. But the time might be coming where similar rules apply to selling liquor to intoxicated people.... or a 'no fat' list liek the 'no fly' list
Honestly, I guess people can mistreat their bodies as much as they like.When you think about it, food is addicting for many people as alcohol or drugs or cigarettes for others.. I've never seen the "food police" stop anyone from eating too much.maybe we should..
Only in America
At first I thought, well, since they're open about how many calories are in the thing, it's kind of OK. I can see "indulging" once a year or something just for fun if you're already kind of healthy.
Then I just read here http://bites.today.msnbc.msn.com/_news/ … grill-meal that anyone over 350 lbs doesn't have to pay for his meal. That feels kind of wrong to me.
I have no clue how anyone could eat 8,000 calories in one go or how someone could really eat that thing without separating it into multiple burgers.
I guess Michael Phelps eats 12,000 calories a day, so maybe for someone like him it's not a bad idea.
I wonder what happens when someone actually has a heart attack or stroke while eating there. I'd think for some people even if that didn't happen they might need some medical attention after eating that much in one go and might get sick at the place. I've never been to Las Vegas, but maybe it fits in with the atmosphere well?
Anyway, this article seems to have inspired me to go for a walk!!- Home Girlposted 13 years ago
0Some people still think that overeating is an innocent joke - it is NOT! It's a dangerous and life shortening habit. Don't be a pig.

That's the first thing that shocked me most when I came to Canada - senseless brainless waste of food everywhere. I had no idea how bad it was! They actually turn good product into a waste and then sell it for human consumption. Nuts!
