Also, I choose to do many things that are unhealthy — though I rarely eat fastfood — it’s a matter of weighing the risks versus the benefits. Now while some of your listing of ‘bad’ things I won’t argue with, though I suppose I could, the there are these few I have issue with; why is it so distressing to you that people other than yourself do things that are damaging to their bodies and their, erm, spiritual well-being? After all, it’s their choice to do so.

For something so allegedly decadent, it was very blah. don’t bother.

It distresses me that even in the supposedly-intelligent virtual meeting ground of boing boing, there are still plenty of junk-food apologists. I don’t recall saying these people should be stopped or that their freedom should be removed- simply that it’s a sad state of affairs that this is what they “freely” choose to eat (freely being a rather tenuous word, since there’s nothing free about our advertising-drenched society.) You don’t have to agree with me, but I’m not sure how one could reasonably argue the opposite. Especially in these days of information overload, I doubt anyone on this board is ignorant of where and how KFC Double Downs come from, at least in general enough terms to know better.

Y’all oughta swing by the corner of Lake Ave and Boylston St in Pasadena, CA sometime. You’ll find Roscoe’s Chicken & Waffles right next door to a KFC, with a Popeye’s Chicken, McDonald’s, and Burger King all within waddling distance. And right across the street is Orean Health Express, an actual vegetarian fast-food drive-thru. I must add that I’ve never, ever seen a single car at their window.

if it seems unappealing, i’m barely lit. if it sounds delicious, then i’m pretty hammered. and if it circles around again to barfworthy, i know im completely and hopelessly destroyed.

Despite the best efforts of the anxiety industry and the 24-7-365 news media, the human mortality rate remains stubbornly entrenched at 100 percent.

that said they need to be making this with thigh.

Take a days intake of food and put it in sandwich form and it may not look too different from one of these fast food monstrosities. So this isn’t my idea of healthy nutrition or enjoyment, so what? There’s a lot of stuff out there that people put in their body that are more toxic (take any alcoholic beverage for instance).

No, I think this sandwich might be something of a symbol for the inherent problems of a today’s collectivist attitude: If I claim the right to regulate what someone puts on their menu or what an individual puts in their body because of some perceived shared agenda or current populist trends, then where are the limits to controlling every facet of another individual’s existence?

See y’all in surgery!

If this had a bun around it and was called a double chicken sandwich, no one would bat an eye.
