Spain chews out Burger King over XXL burger

Spain has asked Burger King to yank an ad campaign for its monster XXL burger -- which contains the caloric equivalent of 10 fried eggs -- because it violates a national initiative against obesity, Spain's Health Ministry said Thursday.
The ministry said it had been asking the Miami-based fast-food chain to abandon the campaign for more than a week because the commercials go against an agreement signed by the Spanish Federation of Hoteliers and Restaurateurs, of which Burger King is a member.
