A monster breakfast which weighs the same as a small child and could potentially kill diners is attracting criticism from angry health campaigners

The Kidz Breakfast at Jesters Diner in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, includes 12 rashers of bacon, 12 sausages and six eggs and weighs on average 9lb - 1lb 5oz more than the average newborn baby.

Health experts are demanding its removal from the menu and are warning someone with a heart condition could die if they eat it, with each helping amounting to at least 6,000 calories, up to three days' food intake for an average person.

It is a free country, people can eat what they want.

England hasn't been a free country in decades.

Actually, there was a time I might have been able to eat that.

Bicycle trip.

100 miles horizontal and 1 mile vertical every day.

The local elementary school has always made clay cheeseburgers in art class. The students mold the clay in something they recognize, glaze the art, and fire it before taking it home.

This year however the school district healthy eating czar told the students they could not make "cheeseburgers".

She later acquiesced if they just called them "vegeburgers".

Its a clay piece of art molded by a child....sigh.

Well, someone who’s starving, could live if they did!

What’s their point? Should not someone with a “heart condition” know enough to think “Hey, I think maybe I won’t have the 9,000 calorie breakfast today.”

In any event, so what? Everyone dies, it’s a free country. Start the day right, eat a big breakfast.

Lose the bread, potatoes, beans & pudding, & that’s a very healthy breakfast! Especially if the eggs are pastured, cooked in pastured butter and the meat is minimally processed.

True, but someone with a heart condition may have a heart attack lifting it and putting it on the table.....

To me this is one of those can/should arguments. You can offer it on the menu. You can prepare it as large as you want. You can cook it and serve it to your customers. Your customer can order it, but they probably shouldn't. Just don't think anyone should try to legislate freedom.

Ah, but did you see there are Tomatoes. Tomatoes! That's what’ll hurt ‘em. Purely healthy, those tomatoes.

If I were to try this, I’d ask to switch the tomatoes for a couple extra hash browns. After all, it only comes with two. Pikers!

But at least the price is right — a bargain at 15 Pounds (that's a currency in this case, not a weight).

There is a Restaurant in Tappahannock called Lowry’s

The best Seafood on the East Coast IMO.

They have a Captains Platter there that few grown men could eat. I always order it and an extra plate for my wife and she and I share it. We both end up full and we get a great sampler of everything they have there.

Who is to say people do not order this breakfast and share it with 3 other people. It isn’t anyone else’s business what I order or what the Restaurant provides .

By the way they charge an extra buck for the extra plate, but it’s worth it.

Leave that white bread on the plate it will kill you over time.”

I agree. I would replace mine with about a dozen stickey buns dripping with butter, brown sugar and raisins.

Back around '57 or '58, we made ash trays out of fired clay. I still have the one I gave dear old Mom & Dad! Could you imagine the apoplexy if some student did that today? The poor kid would probably be suspended or expelled.

Uh huh. Meanwhile the food Nazis don’t say a thing about the gay lifestyle which is a known killer.

I made one too - early 70’s. Nobody in the family smoked so mom used it to hold loose change. It’s probably still in the same kitchen cabinet. (I’ll have to check next time we go there.)
