Long ago, I wrote a post about fast food and chain restaurant menu items that had insanely high calorie counts. I don't even know how many calories any of the things seen on This is Why Your'e Fat contain or how many grams of fat, but there's no way these numbers wouldn't be ridiculously high. Some of the stuff is so sickeningly greasy looking and loaded with meat that it makes my stomach hurt just looking at the photos.
There's a reason why an alarming percentage of people are so fat! Just look around in public places and see what people are eating and how much of it. Some of these fat food items are actually popular and not just enjoyed by people who could care less about calorie consumption, health, or body image. I've seen deep fried Twinkies and deep fried Oreos at various festivals before. Twinkies already make most people think of gluttonous couch potatoes, so why not up the ante and deep fry them!
There are some foods that were undoubtedly created just to be gross and weird, such as the Sandwich Cake, Meat Ship (yes, a ship made of meat), and the McNuggetini. All very gross and fatty. However, there are some things on This is Why You're Fat that I would actually eat. OK, maybe not eat an entire serving of, but definitely be willing to try.
Deep Fried Moon Pie on a Stick
Moon Pies are pretty old school, but I like them. I suppose the deep frying, stick, and powdered sugar give the ol' Moon Pie a new edge. I feel like somewhere in the world someone has attempted to deep fry every food in existence.
Bacon Wrapped Mozzarella Sticks

Who doesn't love mozzarella sticks? They are a classic American appetizer and they're delicious. I'm not the hugest fan of bacon, but I think these might taste OK. Besides, bacon is trendy so I'll need to learn to deal with it. I'd forgo the marinara sauce with these though.
The 60-Pound Rice Krispie Treat

I love Rice Krispie Treats, especially those big ones you can get at bakeries and sandwich places. This one is beyond huge! I regret that my friends and I did not attempt this when we were in school. I almost put a giant Kit Kat on the list instead. If you want to learn how to make your own super-sized Kit Kat, check this out. It's awesome.
