Second person has heart attack at Vegas' Heart Attack Grill.

Heart Attack Grill owner Jon Basso told Vegas' KVVU that the woman collapsed while eating a "double bypass" burger Saturday night; she was rushed to a hospital and is expected to recover. In mid-February, a man had an apparent heart attack while chowing down on a 6,000-calorie "triple bypass" version.
The chain's slogan is "a burger to die for." It gives free meals to people over 350 pounds, and a sign reads "Caution: This establishment is bad for your health," notes the Associated Press.
The 8,000-calorie Quadruple Bypass Burger, with four half-pound beef patties, eight slices of American cheese, a whole tomato and half an onion served in a lard-coated bun, has been called one of the "world's worst junk foods."

WHY?
I just about puked everywhere - and I'm not the type of person who pukes easily.
In this day and age when people are waking up to the kind of shit and poison that's in their food and becoming far more health conscious than previous generations - you really have to wonder if there's some people who just don't give a shit.
My brother is a fourth year medical student and he has some nightmare stories about treating some absolutely massive people who just don't give a shit about health and are too lazy to do anything about it - and they're usually the ones complaining about "Obamacare". 
and should be hassled by stalwart e-defenders of freedom. If brave men didn't weather the horrible winter in Valley Forge for our God-given right as Americans to eat 8000 calorie burgers, then what were they on about, right? 
Frankly, I don't see why the government should worry about 8000 calorie burgers when there are much more pressing needs. I think the government, in principle, has the power to ban or tax such things, but really, it'd be a media circus. Imagine O'reilly and that lot bloviating about the "nanny state" for a month (unless the War on Christmas intervenes). Besides, you aren't going to easily change the mind of anyone who thinks eating like that is a good idea. Educating the young is better. Most kids know not to go out and eat whatever mushrooms they see growing in the woods, they can be taught to put that garbage into a mental bin one or two notches down on the danger list.
But then, I'm one of those hippies that thinks they should decriminalize mj AND believe Libertarians are suckers, lol. I'd be willing to revisit it when someone gets put in jail for five years for having a Coranary Burger in their car.
I think 8 slices of American 'cheese' would destroy my digestive system even without the lard-covered bun, 2 pounds of meat, etc.
Think of the publicity! 
Lotus of Siam has been called the best Thai restaurant in North America by a number of top food critics. I call it mind-boggling. Honest to dog, I've eaten in Lyon, in Paris, in New Zealand and at great restaurants in LA, Vegas, Philly, Boston, Minneapolis, and NYC. Lotus of Siam was right up there with Ming Tsai's Blue Ginger and the late, lamented Le Bec Fin in Philly as one of the best meals I have ever eaten.
