Man, I know US food is ...something else, but still, what the hell is this thing?

Apparently, the 5 layers are:

• Beef
• Cheese
• Beans
• Nacho Cheese Sauce
• Sour Cream

A.k.a. 5 times protein for no fucking reason. That's going to taste like garbage, unless you make it entirely too greasy, too.

I guess, it being called "beefy", that's its whole gimmick, but that still doesn't explain why it exists in the first place. When you could be eating something with a multitude of flavors, which doesn't sit in your stomach like a brick either, why do you choose just a lump of meat?
