FFS... you guys need to be not so sensitive. The first comment I gave a thumbs up, I wasn't American bashing. America and hamburgers go hand in hand. I've been there and man I ate a lot of burger when I was there.

Second one, the typical trend for burger upgrades seems to be adding bacon, cheese or meat patties.

Gee you can't say anything about America anymore without one of you guys being super sensitive to America bashers.

If that was your intent, then I apologize.

But you made a post commenting on how American it was to make an oversized hamburger on a board which has had problems in the past with American bashing. Which re-inforces the use of the stereotype of America's obesity problem through fast food over-eating.

And since that hamburger in question came from Japan, there was no reason for you to have even mentioned America in the first place, good intentioned or not.

It's not what you say, but how you say it. And your comment could be very easily seen as bashing.
