Are you guys kidding me? “Corporate irresponsibility?” Never mind that KFC’s Double Down chicken-wich — two strips of bacon, melted Monterrey and special sauce sandwiched between two slabs of fried chicken (grilled, if you’re as lame as The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, who are calling for this delicious concoction not to be advertised near school zones because of the threat to childhood obesity) — looks heavenly greasy. It rings in at 540 calories, 32 grams of fat and 1380 mg of sodium — almost a day’s worth of salt — or, if you get the aforementioned lame grilled version: 460 grams calories, 23 grams of fat and 1430 mg sodium. At that rate, you might as well go all out with Original Recipe.
But really, you’re blaming the company and asking for a warning label and basically a restraining order? Maybe you should invest your efforts in teaching parents how to cook decent meals for their children, and educate them about proper nutrition, instead of worrying about those children ordering fast food gutbusters. Never mind the Big Mac amounts to about the same waist damage; where’s your restraining order on that? Pick your battles, fat-fearers, and stay away from my next meal. All 540 calories of it.
AMEN. People should be responsible for what they put in their own mouths, at least.
