Don’t forget a thick slice of tomato, some pickle slices, and the extra condiments- a little more salt, pepper, ketchup, mustard, and some sesame seeds on the bun- and what the heck, make it a double; oh, and a large diet coke to wash it down. Is that apple pie over there?

If it has more grease than your car’s engine, don’t eat it. Burn it in your fireplace.

I bet that was Photoshopped. Who would eat that many burnt patties anyway.

Couldn’t they squeeze a little more bacon between those patties ?

It is interesting that grains and veg oils are promoted while healthy grass fed meat and fat are demonized. You’d think that we are being farmed for the Medical Industrial Complex or something.

Why did my son who was 51, 6 ft tall, weight of 175, worked out three times a week, didn’t smoke, drink, ate very little fast food and had low cholesterol, have a heart attack with an artery 80% blocked? The doctors didn’t know why.

Poor Bob, wonder where he got that advertisement? Believing every PR bit he picks up, how smart.

I prefer the cardiologists diet – If it tastes good, spit it out!

Enjoy life. Eat what you want. You only pass this way once. And besides, what is demonized today will be recommended in mass quantities tomorrow.. Eggs are bad…no, wait…eggs are OK. Coffee is bad…no, wait!…it helps prevent heart attacks. Don’t eat this today but tomorrow it will be fine. Too many nannies and ninnies offering advice, selling books, and getting elected to Congress (or Mayor of New York City).

Back when I was in the Air Force, our flight surgeon noticed that the squadron’s overall cholesterol levels were abnormally high. All became clear when he went on the road with us where the only food you can often get was fast food: hamburgers, eggs any style – fish sandwich, that’s healthy – yup, let’s deep-fat fry that sucker.

We had to eat out today. My wife complained I wasn’t eating any green food, so I had chocolate mint ice cream for dessert.

So in addition to trashing the human male, Christians, armed forces personnel, and anybody who doesn’t agree with him chapter and verse, Wiley’s now decided to take a swipe at those who like burgers. Beautiful.
