Julie, it is a 920 calorie burrito and I think it is great. What is the difference if you sit down and eat a monster breakfast or wrap it up and take it with you ? I can't wait for the food police to start whining over this one. All you do-gooders out there, if you don't like the idea of a 920 calorie burrito, don't buy it. I myself like a big breakfast and will try one. Within 24 hours you will see the Nanny's crying out for the extinction of Hardees newest. God forbid they would leave the decision of buying a burrito to a simple mortal man. Good job Hardees.

That's one BIG OL' BREAKFAST BURRITO. For those who are intending to eat that one day, I hope you plan on exercising off those calories as well, because you will never and I definitely NEVER catch me eating all that. Not only we don't have a Hardees in the city no more, the only ones that are left are like in Waukesha and Kenosha. Who in their right mind is going to travel to Kenosha or Downtown Waukesha just for a SUPER Meaty Breakfast Burrito? There are plenty of breakfast meals I can eat at another fast-food restaurant that are over 90 out of 100 times better than just one MONSTEROUS SIZE BURRITO and a BIGGEST SIZE DRINK and for a Breakfast Burrito that big, I hope you're getting a good deal out of that, because there is nothing more like that than you being in the Hospital, for too high of your calories.

After you eat that Burrito and wash it down with your drink, you're going to get too lazy to not want to do anything. It would look good without the egg and the cheese inside it, but the meats and hash brown would be fine and the size of the burrito could be like the size of the KFC Snacker Chicken Sandwich than what it is.

THANKS, BUT NO THANKS. I think I'll pass. My health is way too important to eat something that big and that is not that serious.

Hardee's has never tried to hide the fact that thier food is full of fat and calories. In fact they seem to go the other direction and say "look at all this greasy, gooey, fat laden tastyness." That being said, if you make it a habit of eating things like that, you will shorten your life. I probably will never have one of those breakfast burrito's because I don't find myself inside fast food joints very often. Sometimes the urge to splurge does hit tho, and I'll get myself a monster burger or something, but like I said, I don't make a habit of it.

Hardee's is all but extinct. I don't remember the last time I saw a Hardee's. I'm positive this burrito will save this food chain from extinction.

that is way too much in one burrito. if you eat that for breakfast, you will not be hungry for the rest of the day. that burrito is not very healthy to eat at all. hardees should know better than that to put that as one of their products for breakfast.

Not everyone HAS to watch their caloric intake, or their cholestorol intake for that matter. I am 44 years old, I weigh 110 pounds and I eat like a trucker. Steak, eggs over easy, toast, American fries, pancakes and a tall glass of orange juice for me for breakfast. Lunch is either a sandwich or fast food. Dinner is always a BIG plate full of meat, potatoes and veggies. I also drink (on average) 2-3 bottles of Coke a day. I smoke about a pack to a pack and a half a day. My doctor says I am healthy as a horse and I could probably have 2-3 more kids if I wanted to. My heart is strong as a truck. My cholesterol level is perfect. I have normal blood pressure. I have absolutely NO body fat. I am sure there are MANY other Americans out there that have the same diagnosis from their physician as well.

There used to be a place in Waukesha that was called Naugels. They had the BIGGEST and the BEST burritos on the planet. I really miss them!

I don't see Hardees trying to pin someone down and forcing this food on them. I have to watch my diet like a hawk because I am prone to being way overweight. Still, as a very occaisional treat I'll have a Thickburger from Hardees since it is, IMHO, the best tasting fast-food burger out there. This breakfast burrito is the same thing. I'd probably avoid it. But if someone wants to have one for the occaisional treat, what's the diff?

Until we become the ultimate nanny state ala Singapore (where bubblegum is outlawed and you can be caned for spitting), we are free to make choices. Government can educate about choices. But it better not try to remove our ability to choose.

Julie-
Sorry things got out of hand on your blog. But I will not sit here and be attacked and be quiet about it.

FYI ---

This is from our 5 pm newscast tonight (Wed. 10/17)

"The Center of Science in the Public Interest calls it (Hardee's Breakfast Burrito) a breakfast bomb."

Not meant to "dis" anyone --- just reporting what we hear!
