LOL!
I'm currently on a diet, losing about 2-3lbs a week, this burger represents about 1 entire days calories for me... so while I shudder at the cholesterol levels this beast must have... a healthy active male could have one of these suckers as a meal and still eat 2 other modest meals and be at or under their caloric needs for the day. Of course if you add the large fries and a non diet soda with that beast, you probably are at or above the daily caloric intake for most people in a day in a single sitting.
The danger isn't that this burger exists, but that folks will eat this for dinner, after eating a whopper for lunch and a sausage egg and cheese busquit for breakfast.
One thing for sure, this has given Hardee's more press nationally than they've had in a long time. I love Hardee's, grew up in the south and their "Hot Ham N Cheese" are my undeniable favorite. Fortunately, or unfortunately depending on how you look at it, there are no Hardee's in Pittsburgh any longer... so if I want one I'd have to drive to Washington PA to get it... which isn't going to happen... so I just make sure to visit them when I travel to places where they are.
