America gets even fatter!

They rolled those out at the McDonalds in my town about a month ago.  I had one on Monday evening (the bacon and cheddar angus) and found it delightful.

McDonald's to debut $4 angus burgers
Third-pound of beef will be alternative to pricier sit-down restaurants

updated 5 minutes ago

NEW YORK - McDonald's will begin selling a new line of bigger burgers priced at about $4 each on Thursday to bring in customers looking for a beefy alternative to pricier burgers at sit-down restaurants.

The new Angus burgers are made with one-third pound of Angus beef and come in three varieties — a deluxe burger with pickles and tomatoes, a mushroom burger and a bacon and cheese burger.

The burgers will be sold in all U.S. locations for the next few months.

McDonald's has been testing the burger for several years in Ohio, New York, Los Angeles and New Mexico but it held back from introducing it to all U.S. consumers to focus on its core menu and lower-priced offerings.

A local McD's had a billboard sign up for "Angus Burgers" and someone stole the first "g".

Gross, that actually means it says "Anus Burgers"!

What else is on it?

Lettuce, tomato, mayo, red onion.  Can't recall if there was ketchup and/or mustard.  The bun was different, too... more like a kaiser roll (but it did have sesame seeds).

Söze or Wilhelm?

Eat more salad.

I actually periodically frequent Wendys. However, I only order a side salad w/ no dressing and a crispy chicken sandwich w/ only lettuce + tomato, coming out to about $2.50 for my meal. I drink water from a faucet, which is free.

You are like a negro Monoriu

Didn't McDonalds already have Angus burgers?

Jack in the Box had that cute counter ad with the butcher diagram of a cow and the boy asking "Where on the cow is the Angus?"

Sounds good, but I need mayo on a burger like that.

Fortunately, there's mayo on there.  Just like I said in my post.

Ok, that sort of answers the question. That they are unwilling to provide actually numbers suggests that this article is just hyperbole at best.

They are using numbers, but it's BMI so worthless.

They definitely had one (or more?) in early 2008 in NJ/NY.

There are exceptions with very muscular types, but I'd say at least 90% of those with a high BMI are actually too fat.

ABSOLUTELY APPETIZING!

Missed it somehow.
