GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. - The West Michigan Whitecaps say they have no plans to put a warning label on an enormous new hamburger they're selling this season - despite a vegan advocacy group's request to do just that. Susan Levin, a staff dietitian for the Washington-based Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, sent a letter to the Grand Rapids minor-league team on Tuesday.

That story is making big news here locally. I'll agree it is crazy, but at least that keeps the headlines off all the layoffs and business closings. Well, except for the GM dealership that just closed where the employees had a fist fight battle royal with one another.

It's a novelty item...and supposed to be for four or more people. I think having a "warning" is stupid -- nobody is forcing people to pay $20 to stuff their face!

I watched one episode of "Man vs Food". I don't know what city he was in, but it was at a restaurant that had one of these monstrous challenge.

A five lb burger (?? can't remember how many patties, maybe 8?), 12 pieces bacon, and something like 20 pieces cheese. AND 2 lb of fries.

They said that they DO serve them wih regularity!! Uugh, it was revolting.

All they have to do is etch a message on the bathroom mirrors, like the ones on car side mirrors. It should read:

"Warning: If you eat the monster burger...Butt in mirror may become larger than it now appears!"
