And people wonder why they are getting fat...

[Archae]

I have a set of coupons (I'll never use them, they came in the local shopper's weekly) from Hardee's.

"Mile High Bacon Thickburger"

"1/3rd Pound Original Thickburger"

"1/4 Pound Little (?) Thickburger."

"Big Hot Ham And Cheese"

"Big Chicken Fillet Sandwich"

"Bacon Egg And Cheese Biscuit"

"Biscuit 'N Gravy"

"Ham And Velveeta Biscuit."

1. OH YUCK!

[femmocrat]

2. Gross!

3. People get fat cause they eat too much of the wrong foods.

Why?

We..in the USA are addicted to the wrong foods..high in fat, salt and sugar..
We start eating them, and we cannot stop....end of rant...

26. People can get fat from eating too much of the right foods, too.

It is about total calorie consumption. Consuming more calories than the body needs to function results in the excess calories being stored as fat.

That said, it is much better to eat healthy foods in moderate amounts, and exercise.

4. Velveeta: Cheez for the masses asses

[Archae]

5. Well, I do like it...

I do buy Velveeta once in a while, like their "Hamburger Helper" -type meals.

But not often.

6. Melted Velveeta and Ro-Tel

make the most wonderful nacho cheese sauce

7. North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un may be seriously ill from eating too much Emmental cheese

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/world/north-korean-dictator-kim-jong-un-ill-eating-emmental-cheese-report-article-1.1945468

-snip-
Is a dangerous cheese addiction making Kim Jong-un seriously ill?

North Korea's demented despot dictator is reportedly ballooning in weight after getting hooked on Emmental, a cheese produced in Switzerland.

The 31-year-old is said to be importing huge quantities of the savory Swiss treat — which he first discovered while studying in the European country as a child.

10. Someone curd have warned him about that. nt

[marzipanni]

15. They say, "You are what you eat"

And Kim Jong-un thinks of himself as a big wheel and the big cheese.

...Big wheel getting a massage.

[betsuni]

20. I heard about this cheese addiction rumor but I didn't know it was Emmental

This changes everything. Emmental is the best cheese. Firm, nutty, savory. The only thing stopping me from going through life as a demented despot cheese addict-dictator-balloon is that where I live, a tiny block of the heavenly Swiss dairy delight costs more cash money than I care to spend. Emmental sounds like Neanderthal. Coincidence? I think not.

8. Before I respond

I need to finish this bag of popcorn .........

[Stuart G]

9. Does that bag of popcorn have butter on it??

Mine doesn't..

[Sherman A1]

17. Popcorn without butter is

well, just like Popcorn Without Butter!


There are somethings in life that just go together!

[Doug.Goodall]

19. Bacon Popcorn mmmmm n/t

[Sherman A1]

21. Sounds good to me

[Solly Mack]

11. Those commercials for what I describe as obscene burgers/and sandwiches

make me never want to eat in those places.

And it's just not the burger joints either.


People gain weight for a lot of reasons. Some bad habits. Some medical conditions cane cause weight gain.

[Archae]

12. I look at it this way.

If a restaurant can't compete with quality, they'll go with speed, like McD's does.

Or they will pile on the calories, looking for the big eaters.

And it sure does look like Hardee's is doing the latter.

[Solly Mack]

13. Their commercials cause me to feel queasy.

Just too much too much of bad.

[Jamaal510]

14. It's OK

to have those every once in a while, but the key is to not overdo it and to get enough exercise outside of that.

[pinboy3niner]

16. Does my Mile High Bacon Thickburger make me look fat?

Think VERY carefully about your answer...

[onethatcares]

18. no, not you

just the ass you rode in on.

someone had to say it.....

[pinboy3niner]

23. Now THAT is really scraping bottom

So to speak...

[oberliner]

22. Where do you live?

Just curious. What part of the US?

[Archae]

24. Sheboygan, Wisconsin.

[oberliner]

29. I wonder how much that plays a role

Where I am in CT, it seems like Whole Foods has taken over.

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

25. Burgers

People have searched and experimented for years for the perfect burger topping. Cheese, onion, pickle... here in the US we've discovered that the best thing to put on top of a burger is...another burger!

[kwassa]

27. Hardees sounds like they are imitating the Heart Attack Grill.

[Threedifferentones]

28. And the other half of the problem is all the jobs and all the hobbies that are sedentary...

On average, the activities we are most likely to spend our time on take much less physical energy than they did for the rest of human evolution, so naturally it is now much easier for us to pack on fat. Combined with an endless supply of foods that are rich in sugar and fat, obesity was bound to become a problem.

30. I believe this is a list of sex acts
