How is a sandwich with chicken and bacon controversial? I actually don't know how any food item can be controversial.

There is nothing controversial about it. It is simply a word used in a headline to get more people to view their page with advertising to make them more money.

But there are actually many controversial foods including veal, fois gras, shark fin soup.

Well, we cannot judge other cultures. I am personally not a veal eater for obvious reasons.

Yes…click bait. Most of these internet stories are bad, but this one was worse than usual because of the way it dragged out the story to make room for half a dozen add screens.

Judging culture as a whole, maybe not. If we can't judge conduct, then we have lost control.

Yes, it was painful to read. It was clearly written by AI -- no real journalism involved in the creation of that article.

Honest question: why are these posts even created? Does @MULTIZ321 actually read the article before posting? This one was particularly worthless, because 1) the article title was clearly misleading ("controversial"?? What a joke!), and 2) the whole article could have been summed up in six words: Costco has chicken and bacon sandwiches. :(

The amount of calories make it controversial or at least to some.

I usually appreciate the stories Multiz posts, but it feels like the internet has gotten so full of stories bloated with ads that it’s hard to find stuff worth investing the time to read. Much of the worthwhile info is from subscription sources and not accessible,
