    hmm...let's hope none of the franchises pick up on Mr. Krab's "Krabby Patty". Although, that could have an interesting outcome.

    Hmm. I don't know -- I've always thought Krabby Patties looked pretty tasty.

    Have you all no pity, think of the poor illegal immigrants slaving in fourteen hour a day jobs with a twenty minute lunch break chasing the American dream. A days calories in one burger is the perfect solution for them.

    It's unhealthy, Olly. You're not supposed to consume your daily calorie intake in one meal. You're supposed to spread it out so your body has sufficient energy to last the day.

    Haha Sam, I think Olly was kidding.


    There's a burger at a local fish'n'chip joint around here called a Heart Attack Burger.

    At least they're honest.

    Except that what Olly is saying isn't very far from the truth. A lot of illegal aliens eat fast food because it's cheap -- and unfortunately, that's what they feed their children too. My wife volunteers at an English as a second language program, and many of the children of immigrants with whom she works are overweight. In fact, a lot of people with low incomes eat fast food for the same reasons. It's filling and cheap.

    It's the same way at the grocery store. The way our food industry works, good, nutritious foods are far more expensive than bad food. That's why obesity and diseases related to it like diabetes are so common among the poor. And a lot of it has to so with a lack of education about healthy eating, too. It makes me ill when I see someone paying for groceries with food stamps and the cart is filled with potato chips, cheap white bread and soft drinks.

    We don't have McD's and Burger King in Belize, but a majority of the people manage to eat all the wrong things anyway. Obesity is common, diabetes is the leading cause of death, and in a country that is capable of producing fresh fruits and vegetables 12 months out of the year we have a general lack of fresh fruits and vegetables in our diet.

    Here's an interesting article related to the subject -- why people crave fat, salt and sugar. Evidence seems to show that people can literally be addicted to these unhealthy foods.

    What next, some sort of calorie death paste? Ohhh...!

    Breking News:
    Fast food joints unveil Calorie-fat Death Paste!

    WF- Today, several large fast food companies have unveiled a new product
    thay have worked on together. The companies call it "Calorie-fat Death Paste"
    One 8oz tube of Calorie-fat Death Paste contains a terrifying 25,000 calories,
    400 grams of sodium and 3,200 grams of saturated fat, 3,000 of those fat from calories.
    Calorie-fat Death Paste has raised some controversy over the deaths of nearly every
    tester, the ones that lived gained 200 pounds over night.
    The Surgeon General calls Calorie-fat Death Paste "a monstrosity that should
    be nuked from orbit, and its creators left to die in the most godfrosaken place
    that can be found on earth. If you eath this product, you're mentally retarded."
    Despite the fact that Calorie-fat Death Paste supposedly has the taste of used motor oil , lines stretching for miles have appeared near many fast food joints, eagerly waiting the release and sale of the product tomorrow.
    The United States Military is currently talking with fast food execs to purchase Calorie-fat Death Paste, which is highly flammable and burns at 3,900 degrees farenheit as a subtitute for the current version of Napalm.
