None of this is about food. It is about abuse. This lady had a horrible life. This is a tragedy.

Apparently, he "wanted it his way" sorry @!$%#ty Burger King joke , not funny
or he could of used that adrenaline to cook his own burger, wow we are evil!
The wife shoulda Bobbit him a long time ago. I know I would've.
When I have the urge to hate, and have the desire to hurt others in any manner, verbally or abusive, at that moment I speak to God and beg Him to put more love in my heart that I may love others as much as He loves me. Then I think how they hunged Him high and stretched Him wide for my sins. Then my anger fades away. We need to pray for more LOVE in this world.
