Ok I was bored and watching an episode of Diners Drive-Ins and Dives, and they came to this segment where they probably made the most unhealthy and fattening thing I could imagine. First, they took aa STICK of cheddar cheese, and by stick, I dont mean string cheese. I mean a stick of cheese slightly LARGER than your average butter stick. They then wrapped the stick of cheese in a sheet of raw green pepper, covered it in dough and DEEP FRIED IT.
When tehy took it out, it looked like a massive corndog, except there was no hot dog in the middle, just a huge stick of cheddar cheese.
Apperently they considered it an "Appetizer".
I started mumbling aloud about how disgusting it was for a person to eat a stick of cheese deep fried like that, and my brother says "You know, not everyone wants to eat super healthy."
So I said, "well yea of course, but we are not talking about health here, were talking about MODERATION for gods sake." An entire stick of fried cheese is just Bad all the way around.
Then later on in the show, they started showing these entrees called "horseshoes" which were basically two slices of toast with butter, a layer of scrambled eggs on top, then a layer of cheese, a layer of home fries, a layer of relish, a layer of french fries, a layer of bacon, and then a layer of sausage and more cheese. It was considered an "entree" for ONE person. The dish was about half a foot tall!
To add insult to injury, one customer on the show ordered their "horseshoe" with wheat toast, and he said "that makes it healthy".
Yea, sure.
It was absolutely revolting. I would be a liar if I said I did not like eating junk food. I love an occasional Big Mac, or a Frosty from wendy's. Utterly delicous. But seriously the real issue is moderation. You cant just eat alot of crap 24/7, its no wonder that we americans are the fattest country in the world. We don't seem to know what moderation is.
Anyway, the deep fried cheese stick was pretty disgusting, anyone here know any other real disgusting foods?

But now it makes me sick too, because I gave it up after I started reading a little bit on the health problems associated with all that sugar/caffeine/whatever else is in it. -shrug- Not much of a loss--I mostly drink milk anyway.
