take on.. the beefy crunch burrito

I read a report today about a guy in Texas who became enraged when he ordered 7 tacos and found out the price had increased by $0.50 per taco.   The dude went nuts when the poor schlep making minimum wage working at the drive-through informed him the Beefy Crunch Burrito had risen to $1.49 from $0.99 and it triggered a 3 and half hour standoff with police.   The police where called when the man fired an air gun at the manager through the drive-through window, flaunted his semi auto rifle and pistol and then drove off.  He then drove to barricade himself in his hotel room nearby.
This is what's wrong with our country, some wacko in Waco eats seven beefy crunch burritos for lunch.. what the hell is wrong with people when 6 of these bad-boys aren't enough.  I went online to the TacoBell.com website and surprise surprise the calorie count calculator was not operational what better way to hide the fact you are slowly killing your clientele.   But after some further searching on the interwebs it looks like each of these suckers has 510 calories.   So this dude gets off on 3570 calories for lunch before he's had a super-size coke and a bowl of chili.  How the hell can we even get our health-care costs under-control when an average joe consumes twice the recommended daily calorie intake just for lunch.
