I hate those lists.  The substitutes are usually totally different.  "Want a chocolate chip cookie?  Have a banana!"  "Want a hamburger?  Have a salad!"  If they offered comparable alternatives I'd believe they had some value other than simply promoting shock and awe over the incredibly unhealthy aspects of certain food options.

The only thing on this list I'd go out of my way for was the Wendy's frosty. The rest is still just too many calories and far too fatty to make me comfortable.
Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

These lists make me hungry, as does watching shows like Man vs. Food. I put on a pound a day during one of my trips to the States :mmm:

You got that straight. I was surprised it was on there.

Nothing on that list is surprising or shocking. If I get the smallest, blandest items, that's healthier! :o

Not always.  I remember one of those lists listed large Quizzno's Classic Italian sandwich as one of the worst foods.  The healthy alternative was a small Quizzno's Classic Italian sandwich.   :lmfao:

BK Stacker for the win. :yeah:  If Single Stacker is a healthy food, then Triple Stacker is thrice as healthy. :w00t:

No way I could eat any of those things in their entirety. It's either a to go box or half of it gets tossed. I have always found it amusing to watch some lady ordering a tuna sandwich because she's on a diet. The things are usually like a pound of mayo.


Also, you don't go to a Chicago-style pizza place and order a thin crust, retard.  ;)

If you order a Chicago-style pizza, you're probably already deep in the retard category.
