I'd recommend against it. So does CNN.com. Hardee's is putting out a breakfast burrito with 920 calories and 60 grams of fat, to go along with their 1100 calorie, 83 gram of fat chicken salad and 1420 calorie double thickburger.
JP couldn't care less, especially from a public policy point of view. I am a little concerned about how some of these nuts are arguing against Hardee's:
The Center for Science in the Public Interest, a Washington-based advocate for nutrition and health, has called the Hardee's line of Thickburgers "food porn."
Food porn? Trying to fathom what that actually means has taken my attention span from the first 10 minutes out of my final class of the afternoon. Let's suffice it to say that they're using the word porn in a negative context, which, outside the company of nuns or jilted-ex-pornstar-lovers (in which case you don't bring it up and just smile and nod), should never happen.
If you want to make a point about high-fat food, fine, waste your breath, but leave the nudie industry out of it. Or, at the absolute worst, combine the two in some clever manner to argue that Hardee's is giving us lower quality porn (use your imagination).
