Burger King has snubbed Government attempts to make its products healthier by reducing the levels of salt, fat and sugar.
Instead it is concentrating on making them as "tasty" as possible and is introducing the "Enormous Omelette Sandwich", which contains 740 calories and 4.9 grams of salt.
It consists of two slices of cheese, two eggs, three strips of bacon and a sausage patty in a bun.
Burger King maintains it is up to customers to take responsibility for their food choices.
