That Indiana fried brain sammy got me a bit freaked out!
Burnt ends and lobster roll looking good.

I misread the title of the thread and thought you were posting about this:

Illinois adults getting fatter: State ranks 26th in U.S. for obesity

Growing up in Utah, as I did, I was delighted to see the "scone" as our fattiest food. I don't favor the sweet variety, but it's a close cousin to Navajo fry bread and absolutely delicious as the pork delivery mechanism in a sandwich. Thank the lord I got out of there before I weighed 400 lbs.

I looked through all the listed foods. The thing that popped out to me was portion size. As Americans we have been "fed" the mentality that we deserve many things, including super sized meals. Most of the listed foods could easily be portioned off to serve four people. Fat does make food taste good, but does any one person need 20 slices of bacon on their burger? What bothers me is that this brain washing of, bigger is better, starts early. Did you know a chicken nugget Happy Meal in France contains two chicken nuggets, while the US version contains four? I had a nice chat with Jim's mom at his recent pig roast. I asked her how Jim could prepare and eat so much, and still stay at a healthy weight. She gave your secret away Jim! She said Jim thinks about food, prepares it, puts quite a bit of it on his plate, and then eats only about half of it. Food for thought!

lol, my eyes have always been bigger than my stomach. Luckily my wife likes leftovers, and nothing goes to waste.

I one lost 45 lbs. on the eat half diet. I ordered anything I wanted and then only ate half. Worked like a charm.

Yeah Jim, your mom "outed" you without blinking an eye.
