Yummy Heart Cloggers

There was a news article the other day on the five newest 1200-1500+ calorie meals served at restaurants. The sad thing is that most of the items look like delicious, heart clogging plates of awesomeness. This could be an effect of the vibrant photography depicting said food, but no matter, my mouth was watering and I almost ventured across the street to eat at Denny's. I was taken in by Denny's new grilled cheese with fried cheese sticks stuffed between layers of gooey, stringy yumminess. My taste buds yearned to devour this monstrosity of the beloved grilled cheese. And for all the meat eaters out there - there's also a cheeseburger served in the South that has grilled cheese sandwiches as it's buns.


Denny's Fried Cheese Melt Sandwich


Friendly's Grilled Cheese Burger Melt

What is the world coming to when cheese upon cheese looks and sounds appealing to our appetites? No wonder our society is growing bigger and wider; we're dismissing healthy foods for visually appealing delectables and brushing off the consequences of munching to our figurative heart's desire, instead of taking care of our physical hearts. Maybe we should all sit down in front of Wall-E and try to imagine what it would be like to drink all our meals and float around in a hover chair because our bones have liquified and we're nothing more than blobs of semi-intelligent masses - similar to amoebas.

Now if Denny's had put fried chicken strips in the middle of their new grilled cheese sandwich instead of more cheese, it would probably contain the same amount of calories, but at least the consumer would get their daily amount of protein. Plus, when I originally saw the photo of the sandwich, I thought it was chicken. Sounds so good to me, but bad Em, bad.

Poll: Would you eat one of these sandwiches?
