Something I noticed when visiting the US. I went to one of their Wendy's to try it out, and ordered a small chicken burger. It was very dry and bland, not really that good, yet I looked up the nutritional info and apparently this small burger alone was over 1200kcals??

I'm fairly sure it was the bun that did that as I doubt they raise some kind of super chicken with an energy density similar to petrol.

Anyway, surprise surprise I ended up with heartburn afterwards.

Edit: people always talk about the percentage of people who are obese in these discussions, but have you noticed just how big obese people can get in the states?

Genuinely, almost every day I was there I caught myself accidentally stopping and staring because I'd just seen someone fatter than I thought humanly possible. Like so big that I couldn't understand how their flesh didn't just tear and fall off their skeleton.
