I suppose we can let the Daily Mail headline speak for itself: "Dead at just 29, the 575lbs man who was the public face of high-calorie U.S. burger chain Heart Attack Grill." They do go on though: "The larger-than-life character is famous for promoting the gut-busting restaurant in Arizona with its unhealthy menu of huge hamburgers, milkshakes and fries cooked in lard." Flash-fried lard milkshakes! I'm in! And all this big talk from the country that invented deep-frying candy bars. For shame.
