Burger King Ad Causing Heartburn

The latest Burger King ad campaign sends judges to remote poverty-stricken regions of the world to conduct taste tests -- Whopper vs. Big Mac. Finding people who have never eaten a burger, it's called the "Whopper Virgins" campaign.

Cute, eh? And, of course, the Whopper wins.

Unfortunately, giving fast food to impoverished people is not kosher to nutrition Nazis. One commented,
"I just dislike the idea of going to some remote place and feeding indigenous tribes or impoverished people burgers that are full of fat, trans-fat and calories."

"While it would be nice to help those around the world who are starving, passing them heart attacks in a bun is not the way to do it!"
Clearly, the food extremists would rather have people starve than eat a burger. That type of compassion could kill you.
