According to Consumerist, Burger King in Japan are selling a seven-layer Whopper in honor of the release of Windows 7 – and if you ask nicely and pay for it, Burger King in the U.S. might make one for you. According to someone who’s eaten one, it’s “like eating an elephant.” According to my own very rough calculations (I took the count from a standard Whopper and added the Points for six more hamburger patties), it is twenty-nine Points. They’re your Points to spend, but I can think of better things to spend them on.
Yale University’s Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity has released a study -- covered at (again) Consumerist and Consumer Reports -- on the marketing of sugar-laden breakfast foods. According to their research, on 277 different cereal varieties, “cereals marketed directly to children have 85 percent more sugar, 65 percent less fiber, and 60 percent more sodium than cereals marketed to adults.” Also, of the cereals advertised directly to children, “only 8 percent meet the nutrition standards needed to be included in the USDA’s food stamp program”.
