Follow up story...Hippies mad about burger!

You may remember on March 26th I brought you the story of the greatest burger known to man the Fifth Third Ballpark Burger made at a minor league park in Michigan. Now some damn Hippies are all up and arms because us fat people are trying to have a good time. Here is their beef with the burger - pun intended.

Warning Sought for Huge Hamburger

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (April 1) - The West Michigan Whitecaps say they have no plans to put a warning label on an enormous new hamburger they're selling this season — despite a vegan advocacy group's request to do just that.

Susan Levin, a staff dietitian for the Washington-based Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, sent a letter to the Grand Rapids minor-league team on Tuesday. She's asking that the 4,800-calorie burger be labeled a "dietary disaster" that increases the risk of cancer and heart disease.

The 4-pound, $20 burger features five beef patties, five slices of cheese, nearly a cup of chili and liberal doses of salsa and corn chips — all on an 8-inch bun.
Whitecaps spokesman Mickey Graham says the burger is a gimmick that's being promoted as a very unhealthy menu item.

Damn Hippies! Look this is America. This country is built on eating senselessly. That's part of what makes us great. So if I want to go to a baseball game, get drunk, get loud and eat a burger that will surely shave years off my life that's my right. Here's the deal, you stop messing with my food and I won't beat you up for wearing hemp shoes.
