Food

Now that's good eats?

In America, we eat too much. Now, don't get me wrong, I love me a good dinner just as much as the next person but I think we went a little overboard with some of our current food items. Take for, example, the Big-E this year. They have something called the Craz-E Burger; very appropriately named (and shown above). It's description is as follows:

"This is the sandwich you have been dreaming of, a glorious and delicious combination of crispy bacon and tender burger with generous portion of melty gooey cheese sandwiched in between… a grilled glazed donut!"

Ok, I don't know who's dreaming about that burger but they must be smoking some serious shit. Is anyone actually buying and eating that? I think it goes against all intuition/nature/the flow of blood to your heart to think that eating a bacon cheeseburger with glazed doughnut buns is anything less than total idiocy. I think it goes along with the American cultural ideal of "Bigger is better" (need I cite the Cowboys new stadium?) and in the case of our wastelines, we've got the bigger part down. Is it really hard to see why we're one of the fattest countries in the world?

Saturday Night Live illustrates how ridiculous this has gotten

however, as it turns out, they're not that far off the mark! I came across this little gem and laughed my way through the day...then realized people were actually eating this.

Anyways, I think Brian Griffin put it best, when it comes to over-eating, "Here's a clue - PUT DOWN THE FORK -FACE!"

Honestly, diet pills, crazy detox diets, whatever - you hear it over and over, just don't eat craz-e burgers, tacos stuffed inside of pizzas/crepes/pancakes, or the quadruple down under from KFC; maybe you take the stairs instead of the elevator or take a walk.

Anyways, rant over. Happy Fall everyone!
