"920 Calories-60 Grams of Fat-Yummy! Hardees New Breakfast Burrito"

ST. LOUIS - The people who brought you the Monster Thickburger and the 1,100-calorie salad are at it again _ this time for breakfast.

Hardee's on Monday rolled out its new Country Breakfast Burrito _ two egg omelets filled with bacon, sausage, diced ham, cheddar cheese, hash browns and sausage gravy, all wrapped inside a flour tortilla. The burrito contains 920 calories and 60 grams of fat.

Brad Haley, marketing chief for the St. Louis-based fast-food chain, said the burrito offers the sort of big breakfast item normally found in sit-down restaurants with an added advantage.

"It makes this big country breakfast portable," he said.


There you have it. More gams of fat we can ingest. I saw on the telly where even the French are gaining weight. So much for slim and chic, eh?

P.S. You have to love the sentence in paragraph 2: Hardee's on Monday rolled out its new Country Breakfast Burrito. Rolled out is definitely what will happen. In more ways than one. Selah, v.c.

P.S.S.
