Burger King

Famous for it's "Big Whooper' and it does taste soo good. But is it good for us? I see many senior citizens there gobbling down their delicious burgers and they don't seem any the worst for it.

But I don't know what their cardiologists have to say. Are they clogging their arteries. Is it worth not spending a lot of money...no tip and fast service...plus it tastes good.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A nutrition advocacy group sued Burger King Holdings Inc. on Wednesday over the hamburger chain's use of frying oil that contains artery-clogging trans fats.
In court papers filed in Washington, D.C. superior court, the Center for Science in the Public Interest said Burger King is the only leading restaurant chain that has not yet committed to eliminating trans fats from its menu.
"Burger King not only sells food cooked with this harmful ingredient, it does so without warning its customers about life-threatening consequences," the suit said. "Consumers have no way to guard against the risk of consumer trans fats."
