Memes carry dangerous health-related messages and make light of unhealthy eating habits, researchers from Loughborough University wrote in a letter sent to a British parliamentary committee.
"A substantial number of individuals on Twitter share health-related Internet memes, with both positive and negative messages," they wrote, noting that many "contain inappropriate material."
A picture of an overweight child with the caption "Free food? Count me in!" was sent along with the letter as an example of a meme the researchers found dangerous.
The academics were also concerned by a meme that created a human-like body from pictures of pizzas and hamburgers, with frankfurters used for limbs and a smiley-faced potato for a face.

I always throw the bun away since I got dentures, but not for health (the only time I ever had a weight problem was when I was on Paxil). There's just not enough room in my mouth for a bite of a Whopper AND dentures, so the bun goes in the trash.
There's commercial for denture glue that I find hilarious. The guy puts a HUGE bite of steak in his mouth and starts chewing, when anyone who wears false teeth knows it's impossible to eat a bite that big with dentures.

You should try the no bun/lettuce wrap option: loads of salad!
