I'm beginning to think that fast food companies are in some sort of secret competition to create the highest-calorie, most artery clogging food ever. You'd think that in these times where obesity and the health-risks associated with poor eating that someone would stand up and say enough already.
Apparently, today is not that day, as Pizza Hut has just released a pizza called the Double Deep Meat Lover's Pizza and a single slice of that pizza contains 580 calories (330 of those are from fat). This pizza claims to have so many toppings that Pizza Hut had to invent a new style of crust (it folds over the toppings) in order to get it all on the pie. As my mother would say, it is something of a coronary on a plate.

J: If Pizza Hut didn't do stuff like that in Korea, they'd never sell anything. Too many other pizza places with gimmicky stuff...

"I don't want thems takin' away my freedoms to eat what I want! no nanny states!"
then...
"Waaah, I'm fat!"
Maybe we need warnings on really really really unhealthy food, like we do on cigarettes? a picture of a fat person getting a gastric bypass on the wrapper for one of those Hardee's Thickburgers and a thing saying "Warning: overconsumption may lead to obesity, heart disease, and type 2 diabetes".
