I had both #6 and #8 today!!... oy veh

also, I have tried #2 on several occasions, but I can't eat them anymore. They are so disgusting when you are about 3/4 of the way done with them.

uunnhhh...:homerdrool: I love #9 though! If I haven't eaten anything all day, it's certainly okay for me to eat 1100 calories in one sitting!

Interested in a Chipotle Chicken Burrito (tortilla, rice, pinto beans, cheese, chicken, sour cream, and salsa)? Think of its 1,180 calories and 19 grams of saturated fat as three 6-inch Subway Steak and Cheese Subs. Getting the burrito with no cheese or sour cream cuts the saturated fat by two-thirds, but you still end up with 950 calories. Yikes!

Mmmmm.. those Chipotle burritos are so good though. :(

McDonald's Chicken Selects Premium Breast Strips sounds healthy. In fact, ounce for ounce, the Selects are no healthier than the chain's Chicken McNuggets. A standard, fivestrip order has 630 calories and 11 grams of artery-clogging fat. That's about the same as a Big Mac, except the burger has 1,010 mg of sodium, while the Selects hit 1,550 mg, even without the salty sauce.

I did try those McDonald's Chicken Selects a couple weeks ago.. bleh, not that good, and obviously, not that healthy.

Yesterday I spent 4 hours attending a trans fat seminar. Talk about a good way to go a couple days without eating. Turns out, products that are eliminating Trans fat are replacing it with Saturated Fat which is just as bad. Trans fat actually starts out as healthy unsaturated fat, but then humans go in and manipulate it to make it last longer. Anyway pretty depressing stuff. I never eat sweets (I honestly can't remember the last time I ate any candy), but I love me some fast food. After that seminar though, I see myself cutting back significantly.

life's too short...eat what tastes good from time-to-time...can't get all caught up in all the negativity. just don't be a slob.

that's my motto...

Well, yeah, that stuff is all junk food. Most of those things make me wanna puke.

Except maybe the Chipotle burrito. Those are actually good and wholesome, but they're so damn big you should probably save the last half for your next meal.

... that's why people were winning those trans fat lawsuits. It wasn't because "oh I'm fat 'cause I ate a bunch of oreos so I'm looking for someone to sue". It was because those cases had legal grounding in the fact that trans fats had been used as a legal loophole to add something that tasted as good as saturated fat, and processed in your body the same as saturated fat, but chemically was different that it could be classified diffently on the nutrition label. The food companies knew this, just like cigarette companies have lost in court because they knew about nicotene while they advertised cigarettes as healthy in some cases.

Now that regulations have changed, and Trans fat has to be labeled, plus has this huge stigma, companies figure "fuck it" we might as well use saturated fat anyway.
