\"Burger<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

I’m disappointed with Burger King.<\/p>\n

They’re the “Home of the Whopper,” not the “Home of Whole Grains and Fiber,” so their new Burger King Oatmeal puzzles me. Instead of clogging my arteries, the fiber in their new oatmeal is scraping away the stuff that shrinks my arteries’ passageways, some of which was put there by their food. By scraping away that plaque that lines my arterial walls, what they’re really doing is scraping themselves away.<\/p>\n

I wonder if I just blew Burger King’s mind.<\/p>\n

So Burger King should forget about oatmeal and get back to doing what they’re good at — making Whoppers, making other burgers and sandwiches that aren’t as good as the Whopper, and making crappy French fries.<\/p>\n

But, if they’re really attached to making oatmeal, I’d suggest revamping their menu with nothing but healthier fare and changing their name to Garden King. Although, if they do, I’m pretty sure a bunch of Chinese restaurants<\/a> will be upset with the name change.<\/p>\n

But until either one happens, it’s going to be oatmeal and a whole lot of fried stuff on Burger King’s menu boards.<\/p>\n

\"Burger<\/a><\/p>\n

Oh, but their oatmeal isn’t just any ol’ oatmeal. It’s Quaker oatmeal, which means two things:<\/p>\n

1. Burger King wants people to know they’re serious about their oatmeal.<\/p>\n

2. I could make the exact same thing at home in 3-4 minutes.<\/p>\n

Burger King’s oatmeal is quite good, if you get it with the dried fruit (raisins, golden raisins, and dried cranberries). While the oatmeal is sweetened with brown sugar, it’s easily ten times better with the fruit, which there is enough of to have a little dried fruit in every spoonful. The oatmeal does have a nice thick consistency, even though the picture above may show otherwise.<\/p>\n

Although I really do like Burger King’s oatmeal, I prefer McDonald’s Fruit & Maple Oatmeal<\/a>. Burger King’s oatmeal (7 ounces) is smaller than McDonald’s Fruit & Maple Oatmeal (9.2 ounces) and McDonald’s oatmeal includes fresh apples. Although McDonald’s uses fast food black magic to prevent the apples from turning brown. Also, Burger King’s oatmeal is only available during breakfast hours, while McDonald’s oatmeal is available throughout the day.<\/p>\n

So now that Burger King has oatmeal, does this mean we’ll see more wholesome items on their menu board or will their oatmeal end up like the BK Veggie<\/a> and just be a novelty stuck in the sea of saturated fats and grease on Burger King’s menu board.<\/p>\n

(Nutrition Facts – 1 oatmeal with fruit – 270 calories, 4 grams of fat, 1.5 grams of saturated fat, 4 milligrams of cholesterol, 290 milligrams of sodium, 55 grams of carbohydrates, 29 grams of sugar, and 5 grams of protein.)<\/small><\/p>\n
