When I was in Kansas, 1 out of every 1 human being was fat.

Maybe it's living in Los Angeles, maybe it's living in a college town, but I really don't see many overweight people, ever..

I eat burgers an average of 3 times a week. Many times, 2 burgers in one sitting.

I am 6', 210 lbs with a 32" waist and under 15% body fat.

Food is not the problem here folks. Lifestyle and activity levels are.

So, no. I will NOT put down the burgers. And the ignorant, knee-jerk reactionism like this that is going to lead to food restrictions, taxes and outright bans really pisses me off.

Yeah but we don't add a Supersize of Fries and a bunch of Soda to those Burgers. They are always BBQ's , served with lettuce, tomatoes and grilled Onion (Pickles on mine) and often with Wheat Buns and grilled Red Bell Peppers. They actually are rather healthy. Now I won't eat Fast Food Burgers.

I'm a weight lifter. I bench 335+ and have 18" arms (pumped).

I started off running a few years back to lose the spare tire I was growing. I got down to 170 and felt too scrawny. Meanwhile, I found I really enjoyed weight lifting, so I got serious about that and cut the time, distance and intensity of my runs.

I have no problem with fast food burgers. I'll woof down two QPs at a time. But I do skip the fries and I never drink soda anyhow (I'm a water guy).

A burger is a burger is a burger. The difference in fat content is not huge. But I agree, a grilled burger with my own seasoning is much better.

BTW, whole wheat buns are hard to find. Most are just colored white buns. Only one brand of while wheat buns at my local store. :(

A few years back I lived in the "Fattest" city in the US. San Antonio. I think it's now Houston.
