Think those salads at McDonald's, Wendy's, Burger King, and Taco Bell are a good idea if you want something lighter? Turns out you're actually
better off getting a double cheeseburger instead. For more info on nutritional facts about fast food,
CalorieKing has a good database.

"Romantic"...or "Neo-National-Socialist" Realism? If the following
representations can whatsoever be called 'realist', then wherefore the campy
ideological vulgarity of their subject matter, which make
Leroy Neiman's works - yes, you may remember him accurately from the notorious
Burger King collection of the late 1970's - seem as profound as Salvador Dali (
156 MB - and "obscene" - MPEG file)? To wit:
"Romantic Realism, the movement which renews the high esthetic standards and techniques of pre-20th century ateliers, brings a rebirth of comprehensibility, beauty, romanticism and stylization to contemporary subject matter."
Linked from Instapundit. (Do political posts rendered as purely aesthetic questions merit "newsfilter" warnings?
Consult the
zeitgeist! And apologies for the question sounding like the title of a
Paul Zindel play.)
Qu'est-ce que c'est, le 'degenerate art', vraiment?

Pimp My Burger. Burger King Germany produced a full-length parody of
Pimp My Ride, right down to the before/after camera swipes, the theme song, and "4-inch buns." If all Pepsi Blue viral marketing campaigns were as well-done as this one, I don't think I'd complain about them as much.

Recently, Rick Bayless has been making some appearances in Burger King ads for some new sandwiches they're trying to sell. If you've ever seen Rick's show, you know that he's a true lover of food. Why would he do an ad for BK? The money, you say?
Many seem to agree.
Here's what Rick Bayless has to say for himself:
"I decided that it’s time for those of us in the healthy food/sustainable food movement to applaud any positive steps we see in the behemoth quick-service restaurant chains." I have noticed that Rick looks like he's in pretty good shape, despite the fact that he occasionally cooks with "a little freshly rendered pork fat". Maybe he's for real.
