So this should not shock you one bit.

This is by far the most ridiculous burger I have ever seen.
I was surfing, a usual morning practice ,when I came upon this blog http://chomposaurus.wordpress.com/ and there was this burger....
Beware: if you pop over there to read the post, there is foul language and a slight attack on organic hippies....
America has a horrible reputation for being the fattest nation...SO.......Lets help premote that, by building a heart attack burger and then advertising it, because some people cannot help
themselves.....LITERALLY
LEVEL ONE: A bun, grilled with cheese and bacon. It supports a 7 oz. cheeseburger, chicken fried bacon, chili cheese dog-burger, 7 oz. cheeseburger, and chicken-fried bacon.
LEVEL TWO: Grilled cheese with bacon, a 7 oz. cheeseburger, chicken fried bacon, chili cheese dog-burger, 7 oz. cheeseburger, and chicken-fried bacon.
LEVEL THREE: Grilled cheese with bacon, a fried egg, cooked to order, topped with onion rings and garnished – no, crowned – with Faribault Creamery cheese curds.”
Calories: Approximately 10,000. Cost: “$25, not counting medical care. By the way, we are not liable for injury,” warned the establishment “You WILL be asked to sign a waiver”

Can I be honest with you? Really honest, and upfront?
People disgust me with their caveman mentality over food. My own husband does it , and I am tired of it.
His theory is, if he gives up cheeseburgers and lives an extra 3 years...that is 3 years without cheeseburgers.....exasperated sigh....
When will everyone realize this is an epidemic. You do not need to eat like rabbits. You can occasionally indulge, but please...never...ever....ever....EAT THAT BURGER!!!!
But if we are being really honest, it did cross my mind ever so slightly to create a vegan burger just like this. I, just for once want to see a burger loaded with sprouts and mushrooms, and veggie patties and such....Should I do it???? Is it proving anything really?
Or, would I be falling into the, My burger is bigger than you burger and it is healthier too, competition for dummies?

I read the description of the burger with my mother hanging open and shaking my head. Why would anyone want to put that much toxic food in their body? Boggles my mind.
Thnks for reminding me that I am fortunate that my husband and I eat the same way. Sometimes I forget that. Maybe your hubby will wake up one day too. It took years for mine to come around.
I think a vegan burger like this would be too much food. At least I don't know if I could finish it. But it is an intriguing idea. ;-)

I am serious!!!
This is just stupid...
Chris blows my mind sometimes with the things that come out of his mouth. While I think most of it is shock value...I don't think I could ever get him to stop eating Little Debbie's...blah and gross.
I have always hated those snack cakes. I am a posting fool today, I am going to do another bye bye post today... this one is going to kill me....
well - I can be a cavewoman when I think of food. I do like to eat a large quantity of food (have not lately of course) but I do dream about it sometimes!
yes, create a veggies burger! I have made some killer veggie patties from the blog "Oh She Glows" - they are called Jiffy spelt burgers (mine use oats instead of spelt). I love them!
Fried eggs on a burger just sounds GROSS. I never eat bacon - too fatty and a waste of calories. Although bacon is my son's favorite meat! Its a guy thang!
I don't know why anyone would eat that because it looks so gross!! Have you ever watched Man vs Food? That show is full of stuff like that burger...
A veggie burger would be too funny!
The fact that the burger has "levels" is a bit alarming in itself, with the calorie count even more ridiculous.
Alicia just pointed me towards the web page of this is why you're fat and it is disgusting!!!!
The calorie count of this burger is about 9 days of Calories for me...Pathetic!
The layering and the egg all goupy would sicken most people...most people.....
Here is the link to the website....

Be prepared to be disgusted!!!!
UGH! That is one disgusting burger! Why people? Why?
Isn't it sick!
This is gross but it might be fun to try and make a decadent (but much healthier) vegan version! I do love Amy's California burger piled with guacamole, veggie bacon, caramelized onion. Why not make it really decadent with vegan onion rings, maybe a vegan sausage patty, hot sauce, cheeze. That's about as crazy as I would get but you could in theory add a veg dog and chickn nuggets. No one should eat like this all the time but who doesn't like vegan junkfood AND knowing it is way better than the meat version =)
Lauren- I wouldn't pile on junk food, but I would make it sky high with hummus, avocado's, tomatoes, homemade burgers (maybe), alicia's nut cheese, sprouts, gluten free bread (so everyone can eat it), vegan mayo, mustard, etc etc.!!ok.. Call Guiness I am ready!!!
Ah, so because someone likes to eat meat he's a caveman and a brute? Are you listening to what you're saying? Saying that eating meat is bad and that we should "convert" to the vegan lifestyle is like a Muslim saying that people are bad for being Catholic or whatnot. It's exactly the same.
I respect you being vegans (and I have no interest in "trolling" or whatever, I was merely linked to this page by a friend, because of the burger), but when you start writing down people who eat meat as bad and "dumb" people, I have to speak up and turn you down a notch.
Enjoy your vegan food, write about how much you want to swim in lettuce and shower in sprouts, but don't start calling people who eat meat barbarians. It's their life, get over it, goddamned hippies. (That last part was a joke, in case you want to get on your high horse)
PS: I know the odds of this actually appearing on the newspost are very slim, but the only person I really want to direct this at is the author so I do hope this reaches the author.
Soren Moens,
I am sure you are surprised that I published your comment, and I, like you, love to comment when I feel that an injustice has been served, unjustly. Perhaps in my feverish attack on this burger I came across as an overbearing high rising hippie, attacking "normal" people on their eating habits. Perhaps I used the word Caveman too vehemently. But I stand by my feelings that this TYPE of burger is a partial cause of the growing obesity epidemic in America. I realize that people can use self control and walk away from said temptress', but unfortunately some cannot. Eating disorders abound in America like no other and sadly we provide an outlet to that type of disease by making challenges for people who are weak minded, in regards to food. While I appreciate your comment and your opinions, I will not allow you to tell me I might as well lump in Muslims into the mix as it is not the same. I believe that we "Americans" could put an end to world hunger, to stop children from dying of malnutrition in third world countries, to stop food related illnesses, to boldy stop the cancer causing cells in meat. I also believe in stopping the cruelty that goes into said meat products that people eat everyday. If people watched the inhumane treatment of their burger before dinner, would they eat that burger? To watch an animal while still alive be gutted and have their feet cut off? To have their babies taken away immediately after birth and watch in horror as they are killed so someone can eat sweet breads in a fancy restaurant...
Please indulge in your burger, your high blood pressure, and your gout. Also... please taste all that America has to offer, even if that means suffering to mankind and animal kind as well, it is your choice. (That last part was a joke if... you are on YOUR high horse).
Once again, Thank you for your comment, I appreciate the candor and honesty.
