Certainly a Whopper from BK is not 410 calories!

Yeah, an American Whopper is 670 calories. Not sure if the Thai Whopper is the same. But usually the Whopper is part of a combo meal which includes fries and drink. So I used the BK calculator to add small fries and a medium coke (not diet of course) and the calorie count came out to be exactly 1100 calories, 460 of which are from fat, 95 mg cholesterol.

Betti is right about the lack of awareness when it comes to diet. It seems none of my Thai friends understand that eggs are high in cholesterol or that eating large chunks of pork fat is not good for them. You should see the hard time they give me when I order diet Coke. When looking at my photos of Thai people smiling compared to my American counterparts you notice one thing immediately. Thai people don't like to show their teeth.

When they do, their teeth are pretty yellow compared to mine.
