Is it me or has the fast-food industry recently gone mad with their new and shameful creations of Angus burgers<\/a>, fried chicken sandwiches<\/a>, and now fried bologna breakfast biscuits?<\/p>\n

\"hardees<\/a>Wasn’t it just a few short months ago, KFC introduced their new grilled chicken menu<\/a> and McDonald’s started placing ads in every parent magazine about how nutritious their small hamburger, apple slices and low-fat milk lunches are?<\/p>\n

Maybe it’s a backlash to their healthier intentions, but Hardees has joined the low ranks\u00a0of\u00a0KFC and McDonald’s and\u00a0just launched their new Oscar Mayer Fried Bologna Biscuit sandwich, which is being touted as a throwback comfort food<\/a> of sorts. Apparently, Hardees like many other fast-food and chain restaurants is trying to appeal to the economically-downtrodden fast-food nation as\u00a0we seek solace in cheap, processed, comfort foods like fried bologna and biscuits.<\/p>\n

The sandwich features one white-flour biscuit, one slice of American cheese, a fried egg and one large slice of Oscar Mayer’s famous bologna – fried. The breakfast clocks in at 610 calories, 43 grams of fat (13 are saturated) and 1620 mg of sodium.<\/p>\n

Is it just me or does anyone else feel like that they just gained a pound by reading these abominable statistics?<\/p>\n

\"hardees<\/a>Hardee’s also just launched another disastrous creation: The French Dip Thick Burger. A fast-food burger is OK on occasion<\/a>. A French Dip is also an OK choice, on occasion. But together? Under the same bun? And with Swiss cheese and Au Jus dipping sauce to boot?<\/p>\n

The French Dip Thick Burger comes in at 650 calories, 33 grams of fat (13 grams of which are saturated) and 2,280 mg of sodium.<\/p>\n

And just when I was starting to have a little glimmer of hope in the fast-food industry that maybe, just maybe, they were serious about their intentions to offer some healthier eats to their customers, they go and create these insane inventions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
