Gluttony--Not Just For Americans Any More!

From Time. Great--now we're exporting death by fast food. It's not what's on the burger, but the amount of what's on the burger--individually, the ingredients are fine, but piled together on a bun?

"Japanese Burger Kings are about to “double down” a new burger that wants to make veganism passé.

The burger consists of two hamburgers, a chicken breast, two slices of cheese and three slices of bacon – with just a few veggies, of course, to balance it out. It also comes with lettuce, tomatoes and onion.


Want some personalization? To make it worse, customers can douse the thing down in teriyaki sauce, add an egg, or give it extra-human strength with a fish patty.

To match, this monster will pummel your stomach with a whopping 1,160 calories without all the fixings. A normal Whopper, in comparison, has only about half the calories. We won't even talk about the Pizza Burger, which dwarfs the beast at 2,520 calories.

The Meat Monster might be a Japan-only creation, like McDonald's Ebi Filet-O. And if you're wondering what that is, imagine a fish filet, but stuffed with shrimp.

Thankfully out of reach, we'll be safer from further increasing the rate of heart attacks in the States. You don't need to super-size the fries and drink with this doozy of a burger."


Meat must be cheap in Japan. Otherwise, we'd have been eating this first.
