No Buns

Last night as we were eating a healthy dinner of tzatziki, pita, and roasted vegetables, the subject of KFC's new Double Down sandwich was brought up. A bit too drunk to remember what I had read in this article earlier in the day, I told my roommates I'd blog about it and tell them how wrong their outlook on life was today.

Let's keep in mind this sandwich

is also available in grilled form. However, vegetarians are out of luck.

Everyone is ridiculously offended that the sandwich only contains meat and cheese. In the words of a highly intelligent friend "what's next, a Big Mac where you have to hold the burger patties?" I just want to point out, this sandwich is only missing the buns. Just like the iPhone is only missing press buttons. No big deal.

However, the sandwich in its deep fried glory is only 540 calories. Only about a 1/4 of what a sedentary, old cat lady would have to eat per day to keep a constant weight.

Yes, you can find me munching on this is 60 years. Don't judge.

I'm sure the sodium and cholesterol is outta this world. However, overall the sandwich has done very little to cause such an outrage. Many diners across this world produce way more unhealthy things. Think about the eating contests that boast 3 lbs of meat per meal. No good sir, no good.

KFC will be done serving the Double Down in about 2 weeks. However, have no doubt that other fast food chains will come up with similar offerings. Arby's being last since they just recently introduced a "value" menu. Way to jump on the bandwagon like 4 years after every other fast food chain ever made a dollar menu. And like 18 months after the worse of the recession.

So in two years expect an Arby's sandwich consisting of only roastbeef, cheese and curly fries.

I AM SO HUNGRY.
