Eat now! For a limited time! Don’t miss out! You’ll have to wait until next year! The strange pull of the McRib sandwich.

Travel the country and check out the dishes you could have sampled at this year’s state fairs.

There has been a trend lately for “shock and awe” dishes that bring the uber-hungry to the restaurants and garner lots of press and chidings from bloggers. But is the fast food industry responsible for the obesity problem? Or is it squarely at the feet of the consumer, the ones who opened their mouths in the first place, and who don’t understand the term “moderation”?

Okay, this one grossed me out. A large White Castle chocolate milk shake, noted as the Louisville version, is a whopping 1,680 calories! For some reason they make them a little different in Kentucky because the New Jersey region shake was “only” 1,230 calories.

I had the chance to interview Jackie Warner about her book “This is Why Your Fat.” She provided some great insights into diet, exercise, and having a positive attitude.

Denny’s Fried Cheese Melt weighs in at over 63 grams of fat! Is this even remotely healthy?

One of my favorite twitter people, Linda Marshall, sent me these shots from a Yahoo post and I was horrified. I’ve done a lot of reading about the food industry this past year and one of the things I learned is that the Cheesecake Factory employs chemists and nutritionists to come up with ways to make food taste better.

KFC is adding a new twist on the list of Why You’re Fat. It’s newest concoction, a bunless “sandwich” with two pieces of fried chicken sandwiching gobs of bacon and cheese. Ick.
