Food That Might Kill You, Part I

Why is it that all the healthy foods are mostly hard to choke down and all the stuff that might kill you is just so darn good?

Some friends and I had an email exchange earlier, spawned by my coming across this wonder food in my Yahoo! Most Emailed Photos feed – Bacon Maple Bars – yep, a donut with Bacon. Check it out – Mmm… Good idea!

 

 

Here is a delectable hazard suggested by a friend, from comfort food queen Paula Deen – a Bacon-Donut-Egg-Cheeseburger.

 

 

 

My Quebecian friend supplied a local recipe that qualifies as yummy-looking-but-dangerous – Poutine, or cheese kurd covered french fries for the American readers. Standard fare in Canada apparently – so why is it America gets all the bad rap for being obese?

I have an answer – exhibit one – the Wendy’s Baconator. Care to guess on the nutritional impact here? How about 840 calories and 51 grams of fat. Yikes!

So, that is Part I, since I’m sure I’ll be able to float by some other delectable dangers in the future. Send me any scary but appealing food you’ve seen recently – I can’t wait to do a Part II on this. :)
