Gluttony at its Finest?
This is Why You're Fat is equal parts funny and disgusting-- people from all over submit photos to this blog of the most unhealthy food concoctions imaginable. And it's kind of like rubber-necking, in that once you start looking at the pictures on the site, you won't be able to stop (just when you think you've seen the greasiest, most over-the-top dish, the next one is even worse... or better? I don't even know). I'm all for indulgence, but this just takes it to a whole other level! Somewhat surprisingly, there has been a bit of backlash against the site by some people who think it makes light of the very, very serious obesity epidemic in our country-- and while I agree that the obesity problem should be of the utmost concern, I don't find this website offensive in that realm. Ever watch "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives" on the Food Network? This is Why You're Fat almost resembles some of the things host Guy Fieri tastes on that show-- except, like, on steroids.
