The Burger King Meat Monster Attacks Japan

Burger King Japan's Meat Monster

Watch out, Godzilla! Burger King Japan has just released the Meat Monster – a meaty explosion that’s sure to do some serious coronary damage. Burger King’s "Meat Monster" weighs in at a whopping 1,160 calories, making the McDonald’s Big Mac look like a Weight Watchers meal. But calories are calories. It’s the fat content that really grosses me out.

While the Burger King Japan press release didn’t include actual nutrition facts for the Meat Monster, The Consumerist did a great job putting their own estimates together, based on the ingredients found in the Burger King food served in the U.S. Check out the nutrition facts for this “burger king”:

1160 calories

24g of saturated fat

240mg of cholesterol

13g of sugar

54g carbs

69g of fat

1.5g of trans fat

2290mg sodium

Did you throw up a little in your mouth? I did after reading about this monster of fast food nastiness. And that doesn’t even include the extras that can be added to the Meat Monster (fried egg, pork, cheese, and Teriyaki sauce).

Earthquakes, a tsunami, nuclear disaster… Hasn’t Japan been put through enough??
