Normally, a 40-year-old sandwich would be something to be avoided-unless you're one of millions who flock to(湧向)
  McDonald's each year to chow down(狼吞虎嚥) on a big Mac.
The triple-decker burger, which helped breed america's super-size culture and restaurants' ever-expanding jumbo meals, is turning 40. For some fast-food junkies,that's cause for celebration.

"The flavors that come together(融合在一起)-it's like heaven in your mouth," said April Kohlhaas, a 31-year-old
  Chicago resident. "It's just tradition, like American comfort food."

A year later,it became a staple of McDonald's menus nationwide.

McDonald's estimates 550 million Big Macs are sold each year in the U.S. alone.
Do the math(換算下來) and that's about 17 per second.
Weighing in at nearly a half-pound,with 540 calories and 29 grams of fat each, that's enough to make nutritionists cringe.
"When it was eaten once in a while(偶而) there wasn't anything wrong with it,"said Marion Nestle, professor of nutrition and food studies at New York University's Steinhardt School of Culture, Education and Human Development."It was just fast food,something fun once in a while,But then it became everyday fare.(每天不可或缺的東西)"
