Hot off the presses: Eating fast food may contribute to health issues.

 

Science Daily Jan. 16, 2013 — Eating three or more weekly servings of fast food is linked to the severity of allergic asthma, eczema, and rhinitis among children in the developed world, indicates a large international study published online in the respiratory journal Thorax.

Holy shit.  I’m speechless.  You mean to tell me that shitty food causes health issues?  This article confirms to me that there are simply too many people on this planet.  You have people who eat fast food three or more times a week.  You have scientists who can’t find real work, and have to resort to studying people who eat fast foo three or more times a week.  You have people who spend time reading Thorax to “learn” about this finding.  You have at least one moron who writes an op-ed about it on a website that hasn’t been updated in months.  Obviously we are stunting evolution of the human race.

But seriously, are there really people that don’t know that bad food causes health issues?  Is this news?  Are we screwed?  I know I eat cheeseburgers and rate them, but I also know the effects that the food has on my body.  No scientist needs to tell me that; my weight and appearance are fine enough indicators.

Wine with a Burger? If it’s a bottle of Cheeseburger Red.. Hell Yes!

It’s rare you get any perks for running a free blog about cheeseburgers, beers and the cool places to be  but occasionally working at Burger Mayhem has its rewards. Laura from rootstockcellars.com contacted me a while ago and informed me that she had a bottle of wine titled Cheeseburger Red. A red wine developed to go with burgers. What? Uhhh… I have beer with burgers. Besides the occasional glass of red with my pasta dish I never drink wine but anything created to go along with a burger is worth a shot.  With that said she wanted my opinion and shipped me a few bottles… Winner, winner, free wine and cheeseburger dinner.

May is National Hamburger Month

May, as you are probably well aware, is National Hamburger Month.  Which begs the question, who comes up with this stuff?  Is there a cheeseburger month?  Is there a french fry month?  I am not going to complain that there is an actual month devoted to hamburgers, but I will say that every month should be Hamburger Month.

 

Greatest Up Sell in the History of Up Sells

BRADENTON HERALD

A woman was arrested in a prostitution sting — but not before she got two double cheeseburgers off the dollar menu at a McDonald’s.

Christine Faith Baker, 47, was walking on a Southwest Florida street last Friday when she was approached by a detective working in the Manatee County Sheriff Office’s special investigations division, according to a sheriff’s office report.

I know this burger has jalapeños on it, but beyond that…no idea.

This commercial is effective in getting you to watch the whole thing, but I have absolutely no idea what this burger is all about. I noticed a jalapeno, but other than that, nada. I have never been to a Hardees or Carl’s Jr, and despite the allure of the commercial, I have no intention of going. However, if this type of nonsense is occurring at drive in theaters, sign me up.

Also, why isn’t the girlfriend in the car watching Kate Upton undress? It makes zero sense.

Hey, this hamburger tastes like it was grown in a test tube. What’s that you say? It was? Oh, well then.

(TIME)With the help of bovine stem cells, Dutch scientists plan to serve the world’s first laboratory-grown hamburger by the end of the year. The project, which has already cost $330,000, aims to ease the environmental impacts of traditional animal-rearing methods in the meat industry. An anonymous investor hoping to develop “life-transforming technologies” has funded the research, MSNBC reports. According to the donor, lab-grown meat could revolutionize the food industry.

Revolutionize the food industry, eh? The only redeeming quality of this article is the fact that the scientists aren’t Americans doing this with state or federal tax dollars.  There are people all over the world starving, and $330K has been dropped to make a small slab of beef in a test tube.  Sure, scientists are going to say that this is a potential solution to world hunger; I am hear to call bullshit.  This is going to be a waste of money with no real world application, A) because artificial meat is scary and no one will want to eat it and 2) because ARTIFICIAL MEAT IS SCARY AND NO ONE SHOULD WANT TO EAT IT.  Those who do eat it are probably going to die of some sort of horrible, man-made virus that is going to spread across the globe like Linsanity.  AKA, we are all screwed.

Add this shit to the list of awful ideas humans have come up with…

Let's get silly

 

 

Holy Shitpile, Batman

 

 

We are awful.

 

 

The joke writes itself

 

 

I'm worse than the Kardashians...Seriously

 

“Excuse me, waiter.  Is this beef made in a test tube?”  Imagine having to ask that.  Ridiculous.

 

Guy has heart attack at Heart Attack Grill…Who Didn’t See THIS coming?

LAS VEGAS (AP) – Laughing tourists were either cynical or confused about whether a man was really suffering a medical episode amid the “doctor,” “nurses” and health warnings at the Heart Attack Grill in Las Vegas, a restaurant owner said Wednesday.
“It was no joke,” said Jon Basso, who promotes himself “Doctor Jon,” his scantily-clad waitresses as nurses and customers as patients.
Basso said he could tell right away the man in his 40s eating a Triple Bypass burger was having trouble. He was sweating, shaking and could barely talk.
Paramedics were called Saturday night, fire spokesman Tim Szymanski said, and the man was hospitalized. His name and information about his condition weren’t made public.
Giggles can be heard on the soundtrack of amateur video showing the man on a stretcher being wheeled out of the restaurant where patrons pass an antique ambulance at the door and a sign: “Caution! This establishment is bad for your health.”
Eaters are given surgical gowns as they choose from a calorically extravagant menu offering “Bypass” burgers, “Flatliner” fries, buttermilk shakes and free meals to folks over 350 pounds.
Basso said he hopes the man is OK, and added that he felt bad for him because tourists treated his misfortune like a joke.
“We would never pull a stunt like that,” he said.

Seriously, who didn’t see THIS coming?  Triple Bypass Burger? 6,000 calories?  I feel badly that this guy had a heart attack, but I am in now way surprised that this guy had a heart attack.  I eat 6,000 calories every three (read: one and a half) days.  This guy was trying to get it down in one meal.  Tell me he wasn’t asking for trouble.

Oh, and remind me never to eat at the Cancer Cafe or Strokes Sausage Shack.

And by the way, can’t complain about the “nurses” they have on site…

Sometimes the buns are too fresh to be in the bin

So I know Steve is working on the Bun Bin, and these will obviously head there, but I felt as though these asses needed a little attention.  I search the internet all day long, in an attempt to either find something absurd, something funny, something sports related, and occasionally, something to use as inspiration admire.

These may be some of the greatest ass shots of all time.  Multiple chicks, no cellulite, and a sense that these two are considering “hanging out” later, preferably with some hair brushing, some french braiding, and lots of giggling.  But anyway…

Here are the asses for you to admire.  And unless you speak Lithuanian or Ovechkin, don’t bother visiting the site.  It is probably instructions on how to build a bomb, but because it is in a different alphabet, I assume it just says “Here are some hot pics of Eastern Bloc chicks wearing daisy dukes the way God intended.”

I think I need the training wheels...

I need a Russian bike (read: mail order bride)

I quit.

 

And no, I do not know their names.  Right now I don’t even remember my own name.

The Giants are Kickin Ass and Zinburger Noticed

Big Blue Burger at ZinburgerSo the Giants are making a run at the big dance. I’m a JETS fan so I’m not happy but I am rooting for the other NY team to bring it home since after three years dirty Sanchez just can’t do it.

Thanks to one of our followers Tom, we’ve learned that Zinburger has created a burger to celebrate the New York Giants getting into the playoffs. We love  Zinburger (just read our review) and we love the sound of this burger. Check it out…

“Introducing The Burger of the Week, The Big Blue Burger”- in honor of the New York making the playoffs!
Made with Certified Angus Beef, Maytag Blue Cheese, 2 slices of applewood smoked bacon, with our fresh baked bun, mayonnaise, lettuce, and tomato.
Enjoy!”

Here’s to hoping the Giants beat the Pats at the Super Bowl. Yeah I said it.
