Deadly Fast Foods

Yesterday The Daily Beast published a list they called The 40 Deadliest Fast-Food Meals. The deadliest ones caught my attention:
  • The Wendy's Baconator Triple shamefully boasts 1330 calories, 38 grams of saturated fat, 345mg of cholesterol, 3150mg of sodium and 11 grams of sugar.
  • The closest to it is the SuperSonic Cheeseburger which has 980 calories, 24 grams of saturated fat, 165mg of cholesterol, 1430mg of sodium and 13 grams of sugar. 
  • Placing last on the list is #40 the 6-piece staple of McKid meals.. yes I am speaking about McNuggets which only has 280 calories, 3 grams of saturated fat, 40mg of cholesterol, 600mg of sodium and no sugar.
I have not had one of those entrées in a very long time but sadly I do occasionally get a Taco Bell Chalupa Supreme to go.. not terribly deadly.. only 35th on the list.. but probably not something to regularly nosh on. I'm glad Stroud's fried chicken is not on the list

Do you regularly scarf down some of these deadly morsels? Which one(s)?

  1. I had the supersonic double cheeseburger and onion rings on Saturday, but it is rare.

  3. I've only had 3 of these: a Big Mac, but it was like 10 years ago; and a large onion ring from BK - only a few times with nothing else. I have to tell you the chili cheese tots look real good though!

  5. I've only had a few of these, too, and not in a very long time. Except for #7. We were going to head to Popeye's this weekend. It's what my husband requests for his birthday each year. But I guess once a year is okay!

  6. I don't understand their list. Did they just randomly pick 40 foods and rank them? These aren't the 40 deadliest foods in America. Some of these are downright healthy compared to stuff they left off of the list.

    The only one of these I eat with any regularity is a Wendy's single with cheese and french fries. I have White Castle about twice a year. I eat healthy at home. When I go out, not so much.

  7. @Brian - I think they evaluated the stats on fast food meals but did not cover non-fast-food-meals. Just glad that they didn't rank BBQ :)

  8. Sonic cheeseburger once in a while, Quarter pounder once in a while. Sometimes I crave the taste of the "bad"!!!

  9. No, these just don't appeal to me! I do like Wendy's Junior bacon cheese burger...but it's little, with junior calories. ((smile)) with a Frosty of course!

  11. It's Chinese All You can eat Buffets that do me in. I was celebrating my day off there yesterday and saw a parade of morbidly obese people all around me and heard warning bells go off.

  12. Oh, those Chinese Buffets will kill ya. Sodium and fat through the roof. I eat Chinese only on special occasions and avoid the buffets at all costs.
