Warning labels recommended for Mich. team’s burger
As if we don’t have enough news to cover in the US, the AP decided it was necessary to write about a discrepancy between a minor league baseball team and Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine.
The two opponents do not appear to have any similarities but The West Michigan White Caps plan to promote a 4,800 calorie burger at their ball park. As a result, the Washington-based group urged the baseball club to stamp the behemoth with a warning label, calling it a “dietary disaster.”
Dare I ask the question: What constitutes a dietary disaster? Human beings are responsible for what they put in their bodies - no one forces anything down their throat. Is 4,800 calories the magic number? In my own opinion, a Big Mac is unhealthy for you, as is a Whopper, an extra large meat lover’s pizza from Domino’s… etc. This is nothing new, so why try and put a label on it?
I feel sorry for the poor sap from the AP, he had to cover this little mishap.
P.S. I’d eat the burger in a New York minute. Check out it’s stats…
