I read on The Consumerist today that Hardee’s was introducing a 920-calorie burrito. I was simulatenously disgusted and wondering where the nearest Hardees was (note: 58 miles away in Myerstown, PA, wherever the fuck that is).

Here’s what Yahoo! is saying about this slice of burrito heaven:

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.

I mean, I love omelets and I really, really love burritos (they are solidly in the middle of my food pyramid), so this seems like the perfect combination. I would definitely also put lots of ketchup or perhaps tabasco sauce on it and then I would shove it directly into my face (anyone who has seen me house a Wawa sub knows this is not a pretty sight). However… isn’t 920 calories over half of the average daily allowance for humans?? How many miles to run the next day/pounds on my ass does that equate to? Would someone who’s already married and doesn’t have to worry catching a dude please try one and let me know if it’s worth the sacrifice?

Actually, you know what… I kind of don’t care and would prefer to be ignorant as to the crap I’m putting in my body as long as it tastes good. Kind of ironic that I’m a runner, eh?

Anyway, you can read about it here. Dig in.
