You know what? Let's just cut to the chase and eat some butter right out of the bucket.

With bacon spoons.

edit-OH FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE. My brother and sister-in-law just discovered fried Oreos and fried salty dogs. I'm calling the ambulance in advance.

Seriously, fried Oreos?! Why would you do that? What benefit do you get from the frying? Oreos are meant to go with milk! Anything else is an abomination against the Laws of God and Man!

Actually you'd understand if you lived in San Diego. Their water is rancid.

Well, considering what San Diego means in German I'm not surprised.

Well you see, when German settlers first discovered it in 1904...


Well, I've heard it smells of dolphin barf in August.

There's a local-ish restaurant that serves a sandwich called the Cardiac Sam. It's a 12 oz. cheeseburger, with bacon, and pulled pork, and onion rings. It proved to be impossible to eat normally, as I lack the ability of a python to swallow something larger than my head, but it was fun to pick apart and eat in stages. :)

One of those double-downs made without sauce and with the skinless roast chicken breasts would be a great low-carb meal... (Although it sounds way too salty for my taste.)

The water may be bad in San Diego but there isn't a dirtier water in the US than Miami-Dade/Broward County area.

I've been all over the US. Nothing comes close.

Not south Lake Erie.
Not Brooklin.
Not Chicago (not that bad, actually).
Not Boston or DC.
Philly water is fine.
Not Jacksonville (close second behind Miami).

A whale's genitals got nothin' on the water in Broward County.

Clearly, you're not really trying here.

Try this instead:

Take a frozen stick of butter and roll it in sugar. Quickly dip it in a beaten egg, and then coat it liberally in chocolate-flavored graham cracker crumbs. Now deep-fry until it just gets slightly soft. Top it with caramel sauce, and you're good to go...

Spoiler:
...to the hospital.

US government subsidies are a big reason Americans are fat.

As pointed out in the article, US subsidies are distributed as follows-

# Meat/Dairy -- 73.8 percent
# Grains -- 13.2 percent
# Sugar/Oil/Starch/Alcohol -- 10.7 percent
# Nuts/Legumes -- 1.9 percent
# Vegetables/Fruits -- 0.4 percent

The US government claims to be concerned about Americans health...so much that it will now take over all medical care. At the same time, 97.7% of its money directed to the agricultural industry will make sure Americans get cheap access to foods that will make them fat and sick.

Fast food is cheap and plentiful because the government makes sure it is cheap and plentiful.

Not all fizzy drinks are bad for you, but yes, regular soda and the fact that it is so cheap (I remember soda being insanely expensive when I lived in Germany) doesn't help matters at all. I stick to the calorie free diet sodas, but mostly because sugary drinks make me more thirsty than I was before I drank it, not for any health reasons.

Everything in America that remotely resembles healthy is 3x times the price. Specifically wheat bread & water(bottled) vs. white bread & soda.

Late to the game here, but you have got to be seriously low-balling that weight estimate. 5'10" average is 160-170. He's barely even obese at 225. Tony Soprano at 5'10" (he's really 6') would probably come in at about 225-230. Notably heavy, but entirely functional. Someone that height so heavy he can barely walk is over 300, probably by a lot.

It all depends on your body type as well. I'm overweight and you can tell I'm hefty, but I do not look obese and I'm 5'10" and weigh 255lbs. If he looked like he was about to collapse and die at that height, you're probably even lowballing with an estimate of 300lbs.

Hm, it's time for a semi-random link:Photographic Height/Weight Chart

I use this when creating characters - usually I set a height and then want a reasonable weight for the character type I'm creating. It's and interesting little site.

If we die faster we're saving the country money, right?

That's a really useful site! It would have saved me years of effort (until I finally gave up with numbers and started entering things like average or lank / wispy / athletic / heavyset / compact, in a blank I'd label "build" instead of "weight").

Not yet, Giada De Laurentiis is up next. I'm fascinated how her giant head can be supported by her skinny body.

But after that, I'll immediately change the channel. Sandra Lee will rot your brains out.
