COMSTOCK PARK, MI (WZZM) -- The Staff Dietician of a Washington, D.C. based physicians group sent a letter to the West Michigan Whitecaps today saying they should put a "dietary disaster" label on their new Fifth-Third burger.

Susan Levin, M.S., R.D. of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, signed the letter. In it, she says the 4,800 calorie burger should come with the warning label: "WARNING -- Eating meat is associated with increased risk of heart disease, cancer, and death" and should not be sold to anyone under 18 years of age.

The West Michigan Whitecaps unveiled the burger last week. The burger consists of five, one-third pound patties, cheese, chili, salsa, Fritos and more.

The burger costs $20 and anyone who finishes it during a game gets a free t-shirt. The Whitecaps say they will cut the burger so fans can share it with others.
