I'd go so far as to say its worse than smoking. Lets compare:
180 lbs male electrician who smokes but eats properly and has some kind of exercise (other than the demanding job) does X amount of measurable work in a 40 hour week.
280 lbs male who does not smoke but eats like crap and has no exercise other than the (demanding) job does X amount of measurable work in a 40 hour week.
Who do you think actually gets more done? Buddy who is proportioned, can fit into tight places and has some stamina, or buddy who despite not smoking is huffing and puffing by noon and has a much slower pace?

To be fair this sandwhich really isn't that high in calories. It's much lower than any meal at a sit down restaurant. Someone posted the Earls etc.. caloric information for comparison.
I have about 10% bodyfat. I most definitely plan on trying one of these. Its a 600 calorie meal, it's not the end of the world.
As for the effect on my heart, there is a lot of research which points to the fact heart problems are more related to overall calorie intake than fat or cholesterol intake. So having the extra patty may be healthier for you than having the bun.
