Ruin Your Health By Saving £15
While 17-year-old Stacey Irvine from Birmingham is suffering from anaemia and swollen veins in the tongue because of her 15-year addiction to chicken nuggets, certain fast food restaurants make gastronomical proposals fast food lovers can’t ignore. The Kidz Breakfast served at Jesters Diner in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, is the weight of a child (4.08 kg). It costs £15 but customers can have it free if they finish it. For better or for worse, no one has managed to do that yet.
The Kidz Breakfast at a glance
The famous treat for fast food lovers includes 12 rashes of bacon, 12 sausages, six eggs, four slices of black pudding, four slices of toast, four slices of bread and butter, two hash browns, etc. The diner owner invites people to finish the meal served on a 2.5 sq ft plate in 60 minutes, without additional help. He calls the proposal “just a bit of fun”.
The 6,000-calorie monster
Professor David Haslam from the National Obesity Forum stated that this amount of calories equals the average person’s three-day food intake and eating the meal in a single sitting is really dangerous and could lead to heart disease, diabetes and stroke. According to the local HeartCare Cardiac Support Group, making an attempt to eat the breakfast free can “absolutely ruin your heart.”
Enthusiasts?
The interest in the meal is growing, with people from London, Cornwall, the US and New Zealand willing to try. Lee Williams, 39, has tried the Kidz Breakfast three times and is determined to continue. He said, “I’ll keep going until I’ve conquered it!”
While trying the breakfast is claimed to be “profoundly wrong” by medical specialists, the diner owner explains why coffee or tea is not served with the meal by saying, “Caffeine is very bad for you.”
