Some might find this funny. I think it's kinds of sad. Some of it is kind of gross, to me, to be honest.
I'm looking at the 7 lb breakfast burrito and thinking...."I had a ham and cheese on wheat today." and I simply can't imagine ....ever.. needing or wanting a 7lb anything on my plate.

About 6 1/2 pounds too much food for me as well, however ... If you don't like it, don't eat it. It's as simple as that.

Forget the burrito...I want to try the Kansas Charred Ends!

"Burnt ends don’t necessarily sound like a delicacy, but in the Kansas barbecue world, the charred ends of a brisket are held in the highest esteem.
Ingredients: These crunchy cubes are the fatty ends of a barbecued brisket."

I can see it if you're feeding a dozen people with impaired personal boundaries.

Many of the foods on that list look pretty disgusting. And we wonder why there are so many overweight people

Personally, I did not see a great deal of connection between the items noted and the state that they came from.

Availability of large quantities of food isn't the reason for obesity - just because it's there isn't cause to eat it. I'd say most obesity is the result of a sedentary lifestyle, lack of self-discipline, and lack of personal accountability.

If someone followed exactly what Health Magazine suggested that they follow concerning caloric intake to the letter without cheating, they would appear anorexic and sickly looking.

I love to run. I run approx 50 miles a week.

I also love to eat. During the week I'll watch my diet closely but on weekends I've been known to devour two or three Whoppers with cheese, tons of fries, pizza out the @ss along with alot of snack food.
The following Monday comes I'm back to my diet.

It works well. Food is to be enjoyed and on Saturday and Sunday I enjoy it!

When the first McDonald's opened near us in the early 60s when I was a child, we occasionally went there. All you could get was a single patty burger/cheeseburger, small soda, and small fries. I never knew anyone to order multiples of any of those items. I don't eat fast food anymore, but I know from the ads that most items on the menus are much bigger now, and our idea of a standard fast food lunch has probably three times or more calories than it used to. Eating like that occasionally is no big deal, but too many people eat that way regularly and don't get enough exercise.
