I’m a SEO expert working at SEO Princess and while doing
a research for some of my partners I found your email address and
decided to contact you at once.

No thanks. I’d rather fail separately.

Well…

Burger King is ready to help you celebrate summer with some classic American barbecue favorites and a new original desert.

A bacon sundae of vanilla soft serve ice cream, chocolate fudge, caramel and topped off with bacon crumbles toppings and a strip of bacon acts as the cherry on top for a sweet and salty ending. The dessert sundae has a whopping 510 calories, 18 grams of fat and 61 grams of sugar.

I gave up fast food (and soda) two years ago so someone else will have to get back to me on this. (Oh, I also started moderately exercising. The result? I’m down 40lbs.)

First they came for your soda:

The board hand-picked by Mayor Michael Bloomberg that must approve his ban of selling large sugar-filled drinks at restaurants might be looking at other targets.

The New York City Board of Health showed support for limiting sizes of sugary drinks at a Tuesday meeting in Queens. They agreed to start the process to formalize the large-drink ban by agreeing to start a six-week public comment period.

At the meeting, some of the members of board said they should be considering other limits on high-calorie foods.

One member, Bruce Vladeck, thinks limiting the sizes for movie theater popcorn should be considered.

“The popcorn isn’t a whole lot better than the soda,” Vladeck said.

Another board member thinks milk drinks should fall under the size limits.

“There are certainly milkshakes and milk-coffee beverages that have monstrous amounts of calories,” said board member Dr. Joel Forman.
