breakfast-burrito.jpgHave you seen this one? Hardee’s fast food fat dispenser has come up with yet another way for the world to challenge its binge eating complex. A breakfast burrito packing 920 calories (the average person consumes about 2,000 calories a day). But are you going to have a breakfast burrito without something to drink? No. Add another 100 calories with a coffee or orange juice and you have half your intake in just one meal. WOW!

But do you feel bad about that? Hmmm. Let’s just think about this for a second.

Justification

Japanese justify buying expensive goods because the quality is good. Americans justify eating rich fatty food because they deserve it. Japanese justify spending time apart from their family due to work related reasons while Americans justify spending time at McDonald’s due to family related reasons. Last one, Japanese justify throwing up on the train platform after a night of drinking due to it being an accepted custom, while Americans justify eating these gigantic calorie hogging burritos because IT’S an accepted custom.

Sounds to me like we are all justifying just a little too much. I’m going to the gym.

PS: No. You can’t eat this in Japan. Now THAT would be funny.

yuck! can’t stand breakfast burritos. Especially ones that are that fattening lol. Oh well, I know somebody will buy it.

Usually when you eat something bad for you, the food looks good. This burrito doesn’t even look like it would taste good.

I don’t think the average person eats 2,000 calories per day (especially in America). That’s just the recommended daily caloric intake.

Couldn’t eat a breakfast burrito without chorrizo or green chilie in it.

How about around 3,600 calories a day according to this site http://www.dietitian.com/calories.html

And you’re right The Warrior, I can only guess this monstrosity would be VERY salty.

I’ve eaten two Mega-macs with in the last 14 hours. Between that and a tequila stuntman, I’m amazed to still alive to tell the tale.

However, it seems to have impaired my grammar.
