  The 'Merica burger is made of ground bacon topped with more bacon...

  Damn, now I'm hungry again!

  Be careful about what you dismiss as unhealthy. I am on the Ketogenic diet ("keto") and the 'Merica burger would be ok on this diet, with the exception of the dressing which probably has too many carbs. Yes, it really is a weight loss diet and it really works. I have lost 50 pounds in less than 3 months by eating no more than 20 grams of carbohydrates a day. I just had a rather complete set of blood tests and they are much better than before I started the diet. I feel better than I have in years and have no trouble staying on a diet of mostly meat and fat. Be careful about what you denounce as unhealthy.

  A recent study of people over 50 determined that the more saturated fat the eat, the less likely they were to suffer from heart attacks or stroke. The 'Merican burger is health food.

  BMI >30 associated with longer life

  Actually that study was found to be faulty. The results have since been discounted, and the study can be ignored.

  You can prove any point you want with a study or poll.

  Of course

  ... It must me measurement error if findings do not meet our expectations! Had the findings been the opposite there would be no question about the BMI measurement tool.. Welcome to the wonderfully biased world of science.

  BMI is a useless tool. So isn't percentage fat. The only fat that is associated with serious health risks is abdomen fat, which neither BMI or percentage body fat measure.
