omg

1) that looks like the most disgusting hamburger.. ever!
2) who eats something which is likely go give you a very said chronic progressive disease?

Yes, we eat salmonelle infestered chicken, but the bacterium dies when heated and if we get sick, you're most likely going to be better in a weeks time!
 
And why is 6 sandwhich's worth of protein stuffed on a single bun??
 
It for some reason reminds me of the conservative minister here in the UK who, at the start of BSE-CJD crisis fed his daughter a hamburger on live TV to show how "safe" it was.
 
looks appetising...NOT, well monique if the thread was still around, you could add it to your 'Disgusting things that we eat' link.

Crazy.
