So... I was thinking about BK's new breakfast thing coming out... I think
I'll try it when they come out/are available. Yeah, it may not be the
healthiest choice out there... but it's not that far off base from what a
lot of us eat for breakfast - *when* we actually eat "real" breakfast. And
at 700+ calories it's pretty close to the majical 2000 calories we're
supposed to eat. Quite frankly, I usually choice bacon OR sausage... but I
don't HAVE to eat all of it...

<shrug> Just my thoughts.
