Fast Food Friday – Just How Bad is the Double Down?

I found this earlier this week over at Geekologie and thought it was pretty interesting / revealing.

The chart breaks down just how other type of sandwiches from various Fast Food joints one has to consume to equal the perceived evil of the KFC Double Down.

All you healthy eating kids who think that by going to a place like Panera = good food…oh boy, think again.  Their Chipotle Chicken sandwich DESTROYS the Double Down…

Even the Subway Chicken Bacon Ranch Sandwich isn’t that healthy comparatively (although the Subway Grilled Chickenmay very well be a good alternative for the hungry man).

I was just talking about this with some of my former Fathead peeps (and FOTDB*) last night.  The Double Down isn’t that evil and if you balance it’s consumption against what you may choose to eat the rest of the day you could do okay.  If like anything else, if you only eat this day-in / day-out for any period of time, then you’ll be either 600 lbs or dead.

Yes, I know this is just a surface analysis but still something to think about next time you are gonna grab a chicken sandwich somewhere.
