Fast food is a convenient option across the country, often being quick and affordable. However, regular consumption can harm our health. According to the American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine, fast food has been linked to conditions like obesity, heart attacks, dementia, diabetes, stroke, and even cancer.

Occasionally, my wife and I will share McDonald’s Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese.
Did they recommend Cricket Burgers with non-dairy bean oil cheese?
Can never look at Fuddruckers in the same way since “Idiocracy”.
“Whataburger” out of east Texas in the early 50’s. Huge platter-sized ground-beef. They have spread slowly throughout the South and some southwest states. I hear they’ve reached Colorado. Wish they’d get up here to WYO. Many years since I’ve enjoyed one. Not to be confused with the hyphenated chain, “What-a-burger”.
What about Whammy Burger or the Big Kahuna Burger?
“These options are packed with calories, saturated fat, sodium, and, in some cases, trans fat. None of the burgers on this list has less than 15 grams of saturated fat—exceeding the American Heart Association’s daily limit of about 13 grams.”
OK. It is bogus.
“He analysed the World Health Organisation data to do this. His first seven countries were those with the lowest consumption of saturated fat. These were Georgia, Tajikistan, Azerbaijan, Moldova, Croatia, Macedonia and the Ukraine. Kendrick’s second seven countries were those with the highest consumption of saturated fat. These were Austria, Finland, Belgium, Iceland, Netherlands, Switzerland and France. Every single one of the seven countries with the lowest consumption of saturated fat had significantly higher heart disease than every single one of the countries with the highest consumption of saturated fat. This concludes the exact opposite of the Keys’ Seven Countries assertion. Does Kendrick go on to assert that high saturated fat consumption causes low heart disease and low saturated fat consumption causes high heart disease. Of course he doesn’t. He is too sensible and responsible to do so (actually, having met Kendrick, I take this back! He was probably laughing or crying too much to do so).
There are three facts that I can state without any fear of being proven wrong:
1) It has not been proven that saturated fat consumption causes heart disease;
2) It has not even been proven that there is a consistent association between saturated fat consumption and heart disease;
3) The definitive study to try to prove this has not been done and likely never will be.”

“Evidence from prospective cohort studies does not support current dietary fat guidelines: a systematic review and meta-analysis”:
“Results: Across 7 studies, involving 89 801 participants (94% male), there were 2024 deaths from CHD during the mean follow-up of 11.9±5.6 years. The death rate from CHD was 2.25%. Eight data sets were suitable for inclusion in meta-analysis; all excluded participants with previous heart disease. Risk ratios (RRs) from meta-analysis were not statistically significant for CHD deaths and total or saturated fat consumption. The RR from meta-analysis for total fat intake and CHD deaths was 1.04 (95% CI 0.98 to 1.10). The RR from meta-analysis for saturated fat intake and CHD deaths was 1.08 (95% CI 0.94 to 1.25).
Conclusions: Epidemiological evidence to date found no significant difference in CHD mortality and total fat or saturated fat intake and thus does not support the present dietary fat guidelines. The evidence per se lacks generalisability for population-wide guidelines.”

Well, at least Brahm’s triple meat, triple bacon and triple cheese isn’t on there. I’d be upset then.
Didn’t see Culver’s in there. The Butter burger is pretty good.
5.56mm
Add 6 strips of bacon and 4 slices of cheese and I’m in. The Omega 3’s in the fish cancel out the bacon and cheese. So I’ve been told.
An In-N-Out triple-double protein style without sauce is good.
You can get lockjaw just trying to take a bite.
I much prefer the now non-existent cellophane wrapped drive-in burger delivered on a tray by a car-hop on roller skates.
I know Whataburger and lived close to one growing up in Houston (I may have worked at one but can’t remember for sure) but all I recall from them is a normal large hamburger, the ones I’m talking about were truly huge and very unusual, and rarely seen anywhere.
E & J Burgers (and fries )in S. El Monte, CA - best hamburger (and fries) in the history of the Universe. Sadly, it’s a Chinese food joint now
Ah yes, I learned about that one just the other day right here on FR, which is where I get most of my news about 1) politics and 2) hamburgers lol
That does seem like a great choice for maxing out high protein/low carb, with its bun replaced by lettuce.
Whataburger has mustard on their burgers 🤮. Buyer Beware
Want fries with that?
However, regular consumption can harm our health.
Yes and a diet Coke.
The ideal burger for me is a 1/3lb ground chuck bacon Swiss cheeseburger with sautéed red onion and lettuce and tomato on an onion roll.
Along with BLTs and Club sandwiches ...
