Today for a nighttime snack I had a Wendy's junior bacon cheeseburger. The ingredients are beef, potato bun, Kraft american cheese, Oscar Mayer bacon, lettuce, tomato, and Hellman's mayonnaise.
Wendy's beef is never frozen; it travels from Goleta, California. the beef travels by refrigerated truck. It travels a total of about 2,450 miles. At $2.77 a gallon driving a Prius with 50 miles a gallon, it costs $135.73 to deliver the beef from CA to NC.
A junior bacon cheeseburger has a bout 380 calories in it and 37% of one's daily value of sodium. This is obviously very unhealthy; but yet so convenient. It fits into America's lifestyle perfectly.
