I knew it sounded fishy -- but when you see people in their 90's saying they
eat 3 burgers a day for over 20 years and no heart disease... hmm...

Another segment of the documentary had a restaurant in Wisconsin that serves
butter burgers -- a cheeseburger with a huge dollop (like a couple inches)
of butter on top just before serving. These old gray-haired folks were
sopping up the melted butter like there was no tomorrow. The worst was this
place in Memphis that has deep-fried burgers in 90-year-old grease. That
sounds like the type of meal you order before going to the electric chair.
Chances are, you'd never make it to the chair...

For details on this documentary, http://www.hamburgeramerica.com/ -- it is
still running on cable and is definitely going to influence my travel
plans...
