Isn’t America Fat ENOUGH?
Image Courtesy of Seriously. Aren’t we fat enough? Every where you turn there is some new story or article on how fat we, as a nation are, and continue to become. Even our kids are fat. Yet with all of the focus on healthful eating and exercise, companies are STILL finding ways to perpetuate the problem. Case in point: Kentucky Fried Chicken’s new Double Down sandwich.
What in the hell is this thing?
This unappetizing hunk of fat meat is called the Double Down. Eat it, and not only will you be getting double the meat, but you might as well double the fat…on your gut, hips, and thighs! KFC is estimating it has 590 calories and 31 grams of fat.
It’s kind of ironic that they have been trying to re-brand themselves by changing their name and going with just the initials KFC. They came out with their new grilled chicken but then follow it up with this colon clogger. That sound you hear may be your arteries hardening just from looking at the picture. In fact, the picture almost looks like a cross section of what your arteries may look like after eating one.
I mean I guess I sort of follow the logic that if you want to reduce your carbs, why not eliminate the bread and up your protein with another slab of chicken? But if that is the case, why not make the sandwich with grilled chicken instead of fried? Am I the only one that thinks the Double Down looks doubly disgusting? You cannot tell me that KFC couldn’t come up with another way to appeal to the low carb-loving population. Perhaps something with less fat? I think KFC is totally missing the point here.
This video sums it up quite nicely.
But I’m curious…what do you think?

Okay, the “colonel’s sauce” made me gag! That’s just disgusting! Talk about a heart attack for lunch!
That is just unappetizing and disgusting….of course my husband will probably want one. It makes my heart hurt just lookng at it.
LMAO at the reporter. Loving him too!
LMAO at the Colonel’s Sauce. LMAO LMAO LMAO!Hilarious video.
I love that coverage. Hilarious! And yes, the colonel’s sauce is a horrible name, especially for a white sauce and I don’t think I’m normally a super sick person. And who needs so much artery clogging choices? I was annoyed when McDonald’s came out with the angus burger. Most can’t even finish it and it is sooooo bad for you. Why not some healthier choices that actually TASTE GOOD? They do exist!
That’s beyond disgusting!!!!!!! And the video clip was so funny!! I think I’ll stick with my good ol’ boring food that’s not fat on top of fat with another heaping helping of fat.
BARF.
I think it might almost be as bad as the “Breakfast in a Cup” they sell at a gas station near us.
I really don’t believe that it only has 31 grams of fat. I do remember reading that Quizno’s tuna melt was the worst fatty sandwich ever.
here is the info:
“# The large Tuna Melt has over 2,000 calories and 175 grams of fat!! (The regular size has 1,420 calories and 118 grams of fat, the small 770 calories and 60 grams of fat!)”
I don’t even know what to say about that, except…disgusting.
That’s just nasty.
Ick! I can’t even imagine wanting to eat that. It looks disgusting!
Like my granddaughter would say - that’s just “agusting”!
