What's wrong with this picture????
Well.... 8,000 is NOT considered to be 5 days worth of food.
When the media tries to scare people, it makes me unhappy.
When the media tries to scare people with exaggerated stuff like this.. it makes me very unhappy.
This writer also fails to mention that a large soldier can burn off 4000 calories during the course of normal training.
A body builder can burn 5000-10,000 calories in a day during training.
I realize these aren't the norms, but it does put things in perspective.
A 300 lb man will maintain his weight at 3,200 calories.
Also, it is mentioned that the spokesperson died of obesity related reasons. Again, not true.
(it was discussed on this forum and in the news as well)
Ok... I'm going to bold all the stuff that is CRAP in bold.
I am NOT defending the restaurant, but I do applaud it's honesty. You know it's not good for you, and they tell you ahead of time.
Also, I don't necessarily support the skimpy costumes. While I enjoy watching pretty girls...
I wouldn't want anyone in my family doing that sort of thing.
'A taste worth dying for': Heart Attack Grill in Las Vegas serves up 8,000 calorie burger meal... the equivalent of FIVE DAYS worth of food

You can't say you haven't been warned if you order up a gut busting 8,000-calorie burger meal at the Heart Attack Grill.
If the name of the restaurant isn't enough to make your arteries quiver, the Quadruple Bypass Burger should be all the clues you'll need.
It contains four half-pound beef patties, cheese and bacon and comes with a milkshake containing the world's 'highest butterfat content' (with an extra pat of butter) and 'Flatliner Fries' that are deep-fried in pure lard.
At least customers who weigh more than 350lbs won't get a heart scare over the bill - they can eat for free.
The Heart Attack Grill in Las Vegas is the third restaurant in the chain with the slogan - 'A Taste Worth Dying For'.

TV chef Guy Fieri accused of being homophobic by producer fired from his Food Network show
The other two in Dallas and Phoenix bit off more than they could chew when they had to close down in the face of protests from the community, but Sin City has been more welcoming so far.
Customers can wear hospital gowns when they walk in and they are served by waitresses dressed as nurses. Owner Jon Basso dons a doctor's uniform and there's even an ambulance parked out front.
'If you have an 8,000-calorie meal, that's equivalent to five days worth of food for most people,' Laura Kruskall, director of nutrition services for the University of Nevada, told MSNBC.
The average person burns off about 100 calories by walking a mile - meaning you'd have to walk 80 miles to work off the Quadruple Bypass Burger meal.
But Mr Basso laughed in the face of obesity.
'The calories you consume in Vegas, stay in Vegas,' he said.
But the happy meals haven't always had a happy outcome.
Blair River, a 575lb spokesman for the Heart Attack Grill, died in March from obesity-related illness.
