The high calorie of fast food does not surprise me in the least. In fact some of the dishes in the slideshow looked unappetizing.But on the other hand, I stand by the rights of the individual. If every once in awhile I have a craving for a fattening burger, I have a right to eat it! I also find that a footlong sub is actually two or three meals for me so the calories are justifiable. It is up to individuals to educate themselves and take care of their bodies. That's part of an adult's life.

What ia the possibility that the resultas of this study were written before the study began. The blame game continues. Some one eats tripple sized burgers with a soft drink that contains a cup of sugar and a big order of french fries then they go home and sit on the couch all day and claim burgers (fast food) make them fat!Our mental malnourishment makes us fat. Think small be small. (protions that is)

The fat calories are bad, but I'd also be interested in the sodium content of all this stuff. There's a reason why one in three American adults suffer from hypertension.

I am nauseated just viewing the photos. No wonder we morbid obesity is at epidemic levels. The commercials do promote them as healthy, but the companies back off from that claim when someone wants to dispute it as a basis for a lawsuit

That item known as habit does drive many of those fast food choices, such as the choice of a hamburger bun.

Interesting feature but why were fat grams never listed? I mean the article was titled "fatiest" yet fat grams were ignored?! This feature would have had more impact if saturated (esp.) fats had been listed.

The story lists Cargill as a supplier, the same company listed recently in a New York Times article about the dangers of e-coli in beef: [The frozen hamburgers that the Smiths ate, which were made by the food giant Cargill, were labeled ??American Chef??s Selection Angus Beef Patties.??] http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/04/health/04meat.html?scp=1&sq=e-coli%20cargill&st=cse As a result of that article I quit eating hamburgers. Do you really want to trust Cargill? Not me!
