Is it just me, or is anyone else creeped out by the commercial? The plastic burger king dude is way off in the distance when the guy looks out the window, he looks away a second, turns back and the dude is right at his window with the sandwich. No music, no nothing. I turn the channel if the remote is close enough.

No kidding. $3.19? And I think I could probably scarf down two of them if I ate fast enough.

I saw a picture of this in yesterday's paper, and I agree that it made my chest hurt just looking at it.

Worst thing about this thing is the "Specialty Bun". Drop the bun and you drop 210 calories and 39 grams of carbs.

There's a reason the Atkin diet works. Take off the bun and you've got a perfectly nonfattening 510-calorie meal. Take off the processed meat (sausage) and you've got a 310-calorie meal of egg, cheese, and bacon; fewer calories than in many prepackaged diet meals.

If we eliminated processed foods from our diet, we'd eat tons more than we do now.

People continue to be ignorant about "cholesterol" and "having a coronary" on account of eating foods high in cholesterol.

Fact is that your cholesterol level has little to do with how much cholesterol you eat. Genetic and how you eat and exercise play a bigger role. In fact, it is quite possible to eliminate all cholesterol from your diet and still have high cholesterol This is because in the absence of cholesterol in your diet, you body will simply produce its own!

Since switching to an all-natural diet and exercise plan in 2003, my cholesterol is around 184. This is despite the fact that I eat at least two eggs every single day along with plenty of meat. I don't even think about how much cholesterol is in my food. I will eat chicken livers and eggs sauteed in olive oil, onions and mushrooms. Or I will eat a 3-egg omelet with bacon and cheese. Has no effect whatsoever on my cholesterol level.

As for this Burger King sandwich, the real crime is putting the omelet on a bun. Toss the bun and you have a pretty nutritious and wholesome meal.

I live in Thailand and the sound of that thing makes my mouth
water.

The only way I can get a good egg dish is to cook it myself.
The bacon and sausage here isn't very good either but I can
make do with the bacon and I make my own sausage.

I make an omelet often but even then the cheese choices are
limited and the standard American cheese isn't my favorite.

I also am one of those people who has to fight to get any
body fat so it is hard for me to understand most of your
eating problems.

Still, I would buy at least one of these guys and maybe two.

These things are great. They have been selling them at the base BK for about 2 weeks. They fill me up until dinner.
