MSNBC> As many fast-food chains introduce healthier fare amid fears of being sued, Hardee?ɬ¢?¢‚Äö¬¨?¢‚Äû¬¢s is bucking the trend, serving up a megaburger with 1,420 calories and 107 grams of fat.

St. Louis-based Hardee?ɬ¢?¢‚Äö¬¨?¢‚Äû¬¢s Food Systems Inc. Monday rolled out its Monster Thickburger ?ɬ¢?¢‚Äö¬¨?¢‚Ǩ¬ù two one-third-pound slabs of Angus beef, four strips of bacon, three slices of cheese and mayonnaise on a buttered sesame seed bun. The sandwich alone sells for $5.49 or $7.09 with a medium fries (520 calories) and soda (about 400 calories)….

…In an interview on CNBC, Hardee’s chief executive Andrew Puzder was unapologetic, saying the company’s latest sandwich is “not a burger for tree-huggers.”

“This is a burger for young hungry guys who want a really big, delicious, juicy, decadent burger,” he said. “I hope our competitors keep promoting those healthy products, and we will keep promoting our big, juicy delicious burgers.”
