What Exactly Does a 6,190 Calorie Lunch Do to Your Body?

I came across this ABC story that ran a while ago but I just had to share it with you. It actually tells you what happens to your body FOR 6 HOURS after eating an unhealthy meal. Nothing good... and the results are immediate! Check out the 2 minute video. 


After reading a report by a consumer group about the effects of unhealthy food from popular chain restaurants, ABC's Yuji de Nies and Jon Garcia conducted a test to see how eating these foods for lunch would affect their bodies
Before they ate lunch, Yunji and Jon had blood samples drawn and an ultrasound done to test the health of their arteries.  They then sat down to a meal of 6,190 calories and 187 grams of saturated fat -- an appetizer, lunch and dessert from a popular chain restaurant. 
To see what happened to their blood and arteries immediately following the meal, watch the clip below.
