We need to treat our burgers with care

​We keep trying to turn the burger into something it was never meant to be. Case in point: This week’s news from England of a burger on steroids.

The Super Scoobie stands six inches tall and weighs in at three pounds. While it’s nice to see a country other than our own succeed in oversizing its food (The Super Scooby tips the scales at 2,645 calories), it also feels like another example of a burger gone wrong.

Rest assured, though, that America is not without its own entry in the heart-killing sweepstakes.
