Eating healthy has become a major agenda for restaurants and food companies over the past couple years. Thank goodness, minor-league baseball hasn't gotten the memo yet.

The Kane County Cougars have introduced one food item for the 2015 season that is not shy about its number of calories. Based on its description, the Heart Attack Burger sounds like it could deliver what it promises.

New in 2015, the Heart Attack Burger should cover any fan's breakfast, lunch and dinner palate. The half-pound beef patty is topped with grilled onions, a fried egg, slice of melted cheddar cheese, chipotle bacon mayo, two strips of bacon with a pair of grilled cheese sandwiches serving as its bun. The burger will be available for $12 at Ozzie's Grill, located on the concourse level behind home plate.

Those of you who didn't immediately go into a food coma after reading that should be proud. Have you ever looked at a grilled cheese sandwich and thought, "this could be the perfect bun for a burger?" Whoever created this baby is some kind of genius.

That's not the only new item being sold at the ballpark this season. The club also announced Oreo churros, though, as far as we know, no photographic evidence of this item exists. We at The Stew will pay dearly for that type of thing.

Update: Ask and you shall receive. Thanks, Cougars.

For now, we have the Heart Attack Burger, and that's enough. America might be trying to go more health conscious, but freedom will always prevail. If you want to eat a burger that might kill you, that's actually encouraged.

U.S.A! U.S.A!
