"Australian Fast Food Chain, Hungry Jacks, has just released a burger with more than 70g of fat and over 1000 calories, called "The Quad Stack". With 4 beef patties, 4 slices of cheese, 8 slices of bacon and BBQ sauce, this burger is guaranteed to give you 4 heart attacks, 3 strokes, 2 comas, and one of the biggest regrets you’ll ever have."
That's it: I'm sending back my passport. Seriously, what happened to our country that we thought it appropriate to take this epic step backwards in health and well-being?

If it was truly Australian it'd have 12 slices of beetroot on it.
And a pineapple fritter on the side. Mmm!
OMG James what a ridiculous overreaction.. send back your passport.. LOL. This is selective journalism at its finest.
Hungry Jacks aren't forcing the burger down people's throats. Like the backlash following "Supersize me" people are just looking for someone on which to blame their obesity.
If you want salad, go to maccas ^_^
HJ aren't forcing it down people's throats...because that'd take a person with a plunger for each customer and that's just not sufficiently cost-effective!
But, surely, just by offering a burger that contains a heart attack in each grease-soaked wrapping they're slapping in the face those who try to encourage people (particularly kids) to eat more healthily and to return a little more swiftly to the (now-outdated) stereotype of the average Australian - healthy and active?
Sorry mate - there's an equal amount of blame to be shared here. Sure, people have a responsibility not to buy the thing, but HJ has an equal (if not greater) responsibility not to offer such a ridiculous product in the first place... Or does the idea of corporate social responsibility seem too far-fetched for my little executive brother? [Yeah, okay, that last bit was catty ;o) ]
