A waste of perfectly good cattle. I like meat, but I have common ground with the vegans when it comes to excessive farming for wasted animal lives. It's hard to argue were the most humane—obviously—predator when our practices are set up for throwing half of it in the bin.

I saw a statistics that 12% of Americans eat 50% of all beef produced in the USA and I cannot stop thinking about it. Everytime I eat a burger I wonder if I've passed into the 12%. When I look at a stack like this, I see a beef 1%er

Yeah, that's it. And then I consider the environmental impacts to sustain the meat grinder that sends so much of its output to waste. At some point we lost our feeling of responsibility of eating meat because it just appears in front of us like magic. It's good to wonder such things, "Wait a second...am I a big fucking part of the problem?"

First thought: gonna need a nap.

Second thought: gonna need blood thinners

First thing: I'd like it to be a bit smaller.

Second thing: burger

Agreed, I’d still cut it in half and keep the other half to eat later

Not a real burger. Real burgers can be held, and easily eaten by the average American man or woman (height between 5'5" and 5'10" inclusive) without a knife and fork, and without the need to visit a sink to wash your hands after.

Big burgers should be wider, not taller. This is a meat and cheese loaf with a side of bread.

A good burger should be juicy. I have no problem washing my hands after eating one.

What’s in the glass, some kind of soup? And where might one get it? Asking for me

First time I've ever seen one that was more than 50% garnish by volume. At this point just get a plate, damn

Ah good, the final piece in my plan to die early of cardiac arrest.

Separate those six burgers, store one, eat one, give the rest to others. Unless someone needs the stored one, then give that one away too. Am not doing great but I'll manage 🤷

... Seriously want a burger now though v.v Why'd you do this to me? 🙀

If it had some other toppings in addition that'd be a hell of a marathon recovery meal

I know a really serious bodybuilder who swears by his twice a week recovery meal. 2 double quarter pounders, 2 large fries, large coke, chocolate sundae and a protein shake.

100% of his daily fat, salt, carbs and a massive sugar spike smashed down within 15 minutes of rubber legging his way out of the gym.

My weak ass jaw dislocating 3 times trying to take the first bite.

Actually I wouldn't even try to take the first bite on account of the jaw.

The slow, incredibly painful and brutal death my father father had over 10 years (!) because he ate this shit. Just never. Why should anybody eat this? It doesn't even taste good, it's just the brain wash that these things taste good.

4

Disgusting.

One patty and some fries is plenty for me thanks. Oh, and why the hell are their no veggies on that burger?

3

One short on the steak n shake's 7x7. Young me would eat once of those a every payday with my coworkers.

3

Yep. You can still order these at Steak & Shake, but they aren't on the menu. My friends and I used to get these on a crazy whim, up until my buddy's first heart attack at 17 years old. They're almost inedible. It's kind of like eating a slab of cheesy beef casserole, bigger than your face.

3

Plastic cheese, cow antibiotics, somehow a bit too sweet bread for some reason, and a suspiciously low price (like 3 moneys).

Also it's hard to taste anything more subtile past the overwhelming fat, salt, & sugar.

What Im saying is I'll only order one.

2

Nothing came to mind but my hand sympathetically grasped at my heart the moment I saw it. If I had pearls, they'd be clutched!

The pain that would come after eating that followed by a fantastic nap

1

There should be two more buns so that there’s three double cheeseburgers.

I know I could do it, but I also know that that burger is going to sit in my stomach like a 10 lb fucking weight for the next 5 days.

No fucking way would I eat that
