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.

Talk about over-indulgence...
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 have seen this in other food genres as well. The 50,000 calorie roast made from 48 birds is another example of unhealthy oneupmanship:

at the risk of sounding like a troll, this is how we view food excess in america right now. Okay, this is how *I* think we view it:
"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".

Holy cow! And who eats just one piece of pizza? You just know someone is going to sue them eventually for giving them a heart attack with this!
