If you think the answer begins and ends with "I'm loving it," I've got some bad news for you.

So, who claims the top (or bottom) spot? If you're like me, you might have overlooked this one that's because, at least for my family and me, we always forget about Burger King, and lo and behold, it's also the most unhealthy fast food joint on the block.

Why Is Burger King the Most Unhealthy Fast Food Chain in America?
Cozymeal says it's not just about the burgers being high in fat and sodium; it's also the large portions that make it hard to keep track of what you're eating.
The burgers each contain an average of around 700 calories although some are much higher. For example, the Triple Whopper with bacon and cheese clocks in at 1349 calories plus 94g of fat, of which 33g is saturated fat, and 1990 mg of sodium.
Stunningly, there are 363 Burger King spots in Illinois. Ready for more?

There are over 6700 Burger King locations in America.
Honestly, I'm not sure what's more surprising, the overwhelmingly large amount of Burger King locations, the fact that there are over 350 in Illinois, or that BK wears the crown as the unhealthiest fast food chain in the country.
