Table for One in the Vomitorium

I don't eat a lot of fast food. Not that I don't enjoy a nice Frosty-covered French fry now and again, I'm just all too familiar with the garbage-gut that I feel about an hour after I eat most of the stuff. I don't want to get all Morgan Spurlocky, but sometimes I feel a phantom fatty liver just looking at the sizes and content from some of the offerings at these burger bonanzas. By now, I'm sure you've been exposed to the wonder that is the Wendy's Baconator... two 1/4 lb burgers topped with six pieces of bacon. Now, you know I love me some bacon, however, six pieces? That beast could feed a small Indonesian village. Seriously, who needs that much food in one sitting? Plus, there's not even a rubbery slice of tomato or wilted leaf of iceberg lettuce to offer a fleeting glimpse of nutrition. After consuming the Baconator, I think I might feel like a greasier version of Nathan's hot dog king, Takeru Kobayashi. As if my mere imagination isn't enough to prevent me from hurling a giant boulder through my digestive tract (think Indiana Jones), lucky me found the data that pretty much seals the deal on my avoiding this sadistic sandwich. Slide around for a while in this greasy evidence:
