Fast Food Hall of Shame: BK's Enormous Omelet Sandwich

I give credit to Burger King for not trying to disguise their fast food mentality by hyping a new salad or veggie burger. Through all the well-deserved scrutiny that fast food giants are getting, BK basically says "Screw it" and keeps topping the "terrible for your health" charts with artery-clogging torpedoes like this bad boy!
