fat

Hearing facts like two-thirds of American adults are either obese or overweight doesn't illicit much of a response anymore. Maybe a greater effect could be achieved if somebody actually documented the greasy, calorie-stuffed, explode-your-heart-out-of-your-chest food that makes America the foremost authority on fat. Exactly what the creators of the single-topic blog This Is Why You're Fat have been doing since it started in February of 2009. And what they've found so far is nothing short of frightening.

Each artery-clogging dish submitted features a close up photo and its own silly name like The Coronary Breakfast Club, which is a buttered toast club sandwich with six slices of bacon, two eggs, topped with cheddar cheese and covered with beef gravy. You think that's bad, it's just the tip of the deep-fried iceberg. Consider serving The Porkgasm for your next dinner party. All you do is take some bacon strips, bacon sausage, ham sausage, ham slices, smoked pork sausage and roasted pork belly, surround it with ground sausage, shape into a pig, wrap it all in bacon and roast it all up in a big pan. Or maybe you could make a sandwich filled with ground beef, bacon, corn dogs, ham, pastrami, roast beef, bratwurst, braunschweiger (whatever the hell that is) and turkey, topped with fried mushrooms, onion rings, Swiss/provolone/cheddar/feta/Parmesan cheeses, lettuce and butter on a loaf of white bread, appropriately named The 30,000 Calorie Sandwich. There are plenty of others we could name but I think I just threw up in mouth a little, so we'll let you tour the rest of the site on your own.
