hungry jacks quad stack

[Raider_69]

You're right, it is a non-event, but you're also saying that if people like it then it's a good thing, despite the fact that ultimately we have to pay the clean up bill for the people who abuse it...

Some people like smoking, some like drinking, some like the footy, some like thier own gender, some like being tied up, and some people like eating fatty riddled food. Is it good for them? No but then some might argue alot of what i said isnt, personally so long as their decision doesnt impact me or any other unwilling person on a real level then i dont give a stuff what they do

(dont say tax dollars to footing the health bill because if it wasnt this, it'd be something else the tax man would slug us for, taxes are a fact of life)

If someone wants to cram another greasy burger down their fat neck, so be it, its their call, they'll live and die by their decisions, who am i to tell them not to do so, and who are we to tell HJ or any other corperate not to cater for their wants?

HJ dont have a responsibility to curb obesity, they have a responsibility to provide what they and many others believe is good, quick food. The good part can be debated for ages, but thats personal opinion

ParraEelsNRL,please educate yourself on diet because you are grossly misinformed.

He doesn't need any education because I tell him stuff everyday, try getting him to eat vegetables and fruit is like getting your teeth pulled :x He is being melodramatic.

Looks the goods. I don't normally care much for Hungary Jacks, but I'll get me a couple of these one lunch time.

No rabbit food. The way it should be.

How I miss the double beef whopper with cheese and the deluxe zinger burger from KFC.

What about them?

If they had to consider people's health, they wouldn't sell their products would they.

Haven't cigarette companies been held accountable? Hence warning labels on their products. I'm sure a couple have had successful lawsuits made against them. The bloke who got knocked down by a car after drinking too much. Sued the pub and I believe won the case against him. HJs can also be held accountable in that case.

If you want to eat this crap it's your choice. I certainly won't lose sleep over it. However, it's interesting to note that third world countries that don't have fast food chains also don't suffer from ADD or ADHD.

urban dictionary defines the 'quad stack'


QUAD STACK:

A Burger King creation which can kill you with a single bite.

Dude 1: Hmm. I want a hamburger consisting of four low quality hamburger patties, sandwiched with 8 strips of bacon, with a slice of good ol' american cheese in between each patty.

Dude 1: I also want to die.. But take a huge sh*t before I die..

Dude 2: Then you would want the 'quad stack'..

Do people really find that appetising? I'd rather they bring back their hot ham and cheese yumbos. They were great value.

It's the same debate as drug-legalisation--where do you draw the line between individual choice and damage to society--on the one hand you want people to think for themselves, on the other there are certain biases that are hard to ignore and could lead unnecessary inefficiency if not dealt with. The fact is, in order to keep our choices open, we need people who are capable of delivering those choices. I live in a country where 25% of the people are obese, they're not going to be as effective in the work force, they're going to be using up hospital services in their later years, they're going to be driving food prices. I have no idea what the total impact of this is, I can only extrapolate it to its extreme, all I know is that this is one of those things that will snowball, and it'll get to a point where my, and many other people's choices become limited. It doesn't have to me immediate for it to be a problem.

I'm all for keeping choices open, but I think that once they start having too much of an impact on society you have to do something about it. In this case, it means both parties need to check themselves before they wreck themselves. Whether or not now is the time to do this, I have no idea. But sh*t like this pushes us closer to that time. We might not pay more or less tax as you say, but there'll still be a tax bill that we shouldn't have to pay, and there'll still be doctors who have to cater for people's choice in life instead of helping those who have had no choice.

They aren't forcing people to eat it.

I mean TBH, isn't it the consumers responsibility to select what they want to eat?

The world has gotten to politically correct. We don't exactly eat HJ's to be healthy now do we?

There's been like 10 people in here saying that exact thing, and I have tried to shown why having this choice might not be a good idea. Read.

And what's political correctness got to do with it?

The problem is too many people begin to rely on fast food as its so easy to get, and start consumin 10 of those a week. Then we get to be like the USA with the fattest population in the world, and more money is needed to help fix their health problems.

We don't need a nation of fatties who can't walk out of the door like in the US. Then we're paying them welfare through higher taxes

 

[Chook Norris]

not sure whether i could last it all

but i'd probably try it once in the future... dont wanna die wondering

a double quarter pounder from Maccas makes me feel sick

 

[Stranger]

TBH, isn't it upto the person to stop themselves from eating this sh*t? Although I'm not familiar with the law and what not, i don't recall it being the responsibility of HJ's to stop people eating the food that they sell. I just don't think its their responsibility.

I go to maccas, i know that if i get a triple cheese burger I'm going to be eating a sh*t load of fat and feel like sh*t. I know i can also go to Maccas and order a salad. If i don't want this i can go somewhere else.

Although i do agree when you say we don't need a nation of fatties, but IMO its upto the consumer to say no. I can see the Point you raise Martli and Furry that it will increase hospital bills and all that for tax payers, but so will smoking and drinking and we are still able to buy them everywhere. Again, i believe that its the consumers choice.

Dude, you just said the same thing twice, only the second one was a little fleshed out. You can pretty much use the same argument for any product, any commodity. The problems start to arise when things starts to get over the top when a groups choice becomes too much of a burden. I have been arguing this point the whole time. Choice is fine, choice is good, but it gets to a point where we can't make a choice because society has to make up for the bad choices of everyone else, and I don't want that.

As it stands, this burger is barely a blip on the radar, but I think it's symptomatic of a wider problem that has a lot of potential. This is pretty much what I'm arguing for, the burger is just the platform.
