I heard about this yesterday, and today I found this website with the story :


"Consumer Watchdog Choice rates Hungry Jack's Ultimate Double Whopper the most unhealthy fast food

THE bite has been put on the best and worst fast foods.

Consumer watchdog Choice rated Hungry Jack's Ultimate Double Whopper the most unhealthy option in a sample of major outlets.

With 80g of fat, 2386mg of sodium and 5085 kilojoules, the burger accounts for almost 60 per cent of an adult's recommended daily kilojoule intake.

Red Rooster's Free Range Garden salad had the lowest count at 479Kj, the investigation found.

Official ABS figures reveal Victorians scoffed $318 million worth of takeaway food in April, up more than 3 per cent on the previous month.

Choice is campaigning for all key fast-food outlets across Australia to be forced to declare kilojoules on their menus to fight obesity. NSW will introduce the move next February

Choice calculates it takes four hours of constant house cleaning to burn off a McDonald's Double Quarter Pounder, a 1 1/2-hour jog for an Ultimate Double Whopper, and an hour of cycling or lawn mowing for KFC's Wicked Wings Snack Box."
