Boo!

I saw a story on television this morning about that atrocity. I think eggs are about the most offensive food anyway, but how they looked on that sandwich was so wrong

I'm going to go throw up.

That doesn't even look good to eat. They were showing it on the local news and all the guys that were buying it look like giant football players who were a little overweight. Eating that a few times a week sure isn't going to help anyone A heart attack waiting to happen. They were talking about having a market for this kind of sandwich

Applebees is doing okay with their WW meals Too bad, places like BK hasn't caught on yet to what people really need

Burger King must have direct dialing to all the heart surgeons in the country

It comes down to just making wise choices when you go out to eat in restaurants.

Yes. For instance, when you get your extreme sausage sandwich from Jack in the Box, get it with no egg....

Seriously though - do we really need bacon AND sausage in addition to egg & cheese? Isn't there quite enough protien on the thing already? Blech.

"Hmm, well, 550 calories isn't enough. Throw some sausage on it. That should do."

Why not just knock out all the calories ya need in a day in one sandwich? You won't have to do dishes anymore.

very true. I just don't like egg or bacon, so I want (get) my gross breakfast sandwiches with only sausage and cheese...
