and people wonder why americans are fat....

[takao]

Scary isn't it. So many people who could do something about their being overweight, but could care less. Oh well, just don't complain later.

offtopic: well i am a overweight but perhaps not enough to really care
i think i have around 5 kilos or something like that, with seasonal fluctuations.. like loosing in summer and gaining in winter
not everybody can eat salads all the time .. especially during winter i end up extremely tired if i try to eat less/salads
(i think i am 5' 9/10" with 166-170 pounds/ 176-78 cm 83-85 kg... i draw my line at 180... i wonder how much less i have if were actually doing some sports )

ontopic:wow i would never eat such a thing or even throw together so much different kinds of meats in a sandwich .. i find burgers with bacon already disgusting.. when i'm making a sandwich i normally put in 3.. perhaps 4 different things in it (like cheese,tuna, tomatos or cheese,thin siced sausages/ham , pickles etc.)

and actually, a lack of physical activity has far more to do with why americans are so fat than their calorie in take.

I'd say it's a combination.

Lots of food, no activity ~ fat.

Little food, no activity ~ no so fat.

Little food, lots of activity ~ thin

It's the mismatch between activity and intake that results in being overweight. So if you ate a lot and then ran a marathon or two, you probably wouldn't gain much weight. Of course, that may be because you'd simply puke up the food, but hopefully you get the point.

You know if you just leave off the 154 Tbsp. of Canola Oil, it comes in at a svelte 11,000 calories...

But the canola oil works to reduce the cholesterol impact of the rest of the sandwich!

We'll compromise, put on 76 Tbsp. and we're only at the 20k calorie mark....

Oh, yeah, and give me a diet Coke while your at it....

 

[Flowbee]

Just... couldn't... resist...

 

[plinden]

lol not what your thinking , brown sauce is daddy's

Um, yeah. That didn't help.

Brown sauce

I hate exercise and fruit.

 

[njmac]

I'm on a diet, I do not like being overweight. I have lost 17 pounds already and I am going to lose every last spare ounce of fat that I can.

That sandwich looks nasty. If I was going to have a high calorie sandwich it would be pulled pork with coleslaw (on the sandwich) on a nice ciabatta bread and maybe a beer to wash it down. But I won't have that.... I must lose the extra weight.

 

[emw]

pulled pork with coleslaw (on the sandwich)

The only place I've seen this is at a restaurant in PA. I ordered it without the slaw and they looked at me like I had two heads.

You are exercising as well right? Otherwise, if not, you're going to gain it all back.

Mmmm Daddies Brown Sauce.....drooooool.....actually reading that back it sounds totally sick and twisted doesn't it

 

[jadekitty24]

That sandwhich is god-awful...do you think "naturally occurring herbs" had something to do with it?!?

 

[hookahco]

im a fat american (not really that fat.. 6'2" 235.. lots of muscle) and i ill tell you why americans are fat.. the food in this country is more processed and twisted than any other country's. theres almost no healthy food here. even our cows are fed hormones for gods sake. i hate that organic hype more than anyone, but i have seen it proven true. i was in syria last summer and i ate like a pig.. 4 or 5 huge meals a day.. i would eat sheep meat and fat strips daily (baked on bread.. 1/2-1 kilogram) and i lost weight. would i rather live there? hell no. but its something to think about.

 

[dotdotdot]

NASTY!!! who the hell would eat that? Let alone touch it or go within five feet of it!

It could be alive!!

 

[bousozoku]

thank god I am not a fat american.

That remains to be seen but your toe looked quite porculent.

Seriously?

Dude, pulled pork must be served with a cole slaw topping. Anything else is barbaric. I learned this in Syracuse.

You can get such a sandwich in Peoria, FWIW.

*** walks off, muttering "pulled pork without cole slaw?!?" ***

Some people only gain weight in their toes.

I feel for them. Imagine having to wear clown shoes every day... tragic.

Well, that certainly validates it.

I guess I just don't go to enough high-class BBQ joints to experience this "delicacy".

Still, since I can't stand cole slaw in the first place, I can't imagine enjoying it on top of an otherwise tasty sandwich.

Ever tasted vanilla extract?

Ever had it in delicious baked goods?

It's all in the synergy, man.

BTW, the Dinosaur BBQ, rated one of the best in the country, visited by the Rolling Stones whenever they visit (yeah, I'm using the Stones as judges of good taste... so what?)... they serve cole slaw on top.

Yum. Now if I could just find a good fried pork tenderloin sandwich out here...

 

[BrianKonarsMac]

lol not what your thinking , brown sauce is daddy's

omg the connotation is even worse!

 

[darkwing]

Isn't that the best though? I notice it any time I happen to be in a fast food place-- people order loads of food (always including the largest size of fries) and finish up w/ a dressing-drenched salad and a diet soda of some sort.

Hey! I'm fat and order too much at fast food places, and I always get a diet soda. I don't do it because I am trying to lose weight. I do it because I hate regular soda. My mother was diabetic (i was adopted, and it doesn't run in my family, but being overweight puts me at risk) and so all we had growing up was diet coke in the house. (pepsi is the best!) I hate the taste of regular soda.

I will lose the weight once I get my masters degree. Full time work and school left me with less gym time!

I went to fast food last night for the first time in 1 month. Trying to stop it all together.

Ultimate Bacon Sandwich

mmmmmmmmmmmmmm, oh wait. I'm a veggie

Ultimate? no way. the ultimate bacon butty is;

2-3 rashers of bacon, fat cut off. 2 english muffins. enough butter so that its *almost* dripping off. optional extra: BBQ Sauce. Bacon has to be cooked, then when its getting crispy turn the cooker off so it just perfects it.

well thats mine anywho

Pour that vanilla extract on top of your delicious baked goods and see if you like it.

Perhaps if you took the ingredients used to make cole slaw and mixed them in with a number of other things, baked it for 15-20 minutes at 350°F or so, I'd like "cole slaw".

I can't stand plain mayonnaise. I like it on certain sandwiches occasionally, though.
