Food was once the providence of celebrated chefs and critical connoisseurs. Cooking shows featured all gourmet creations and web sites displayed artfully photographed delights. Then something changed. Perhaps it was the desensitizing of web culture or perhaps it was a cry for help from the food-loving public. But by God - there came a day when fancy vegetable towers came crashing down and $50 mushrooms were no longer acceptable. Amason and Blakley wanted see the old stand-bys, the carnival foods of their childhoods, the sticky mess of a deep-fried candy bar, the indulgence of a greasy burger with all the fixins. It was the birth of the nasty food web-trend. And it was delicious. The website This is Why You′re Fat is an ode to this trend - whether seen as a commentary on North American dietary habits or a celebration of the deliciously bad - Amason and Blakey are devoted to the world′s newfound obsession with over-the-top food. Within its first month the site pulled in over ten million eye balls, and attracted major nation media including CNN. The world cooked, they listened. www.thisiswhyyourefat.com… (altro)

Excellent photos, and excellent reminders to me that I actually do eat pretty healthy. I can't believe some of this food is actually sold to Americans. It's embarrassing. ( )

Oh my goodness!! If the cover is not enough to make you want to re-evaluate your eating the recipes should. No I am not a healthy eating guru by no stretch of the imagination. I like Krispy Kream and burgers just not combined in a Krispy Kreme Burger. Sadly this is the recipe that made me want to barf the least. The auhtor gives us gravy pizza. hanburger and coen dog pizzas, hotdogs with twinkie buns and if that was not enough there are the fried treats. Fried treats include deep fried moon pies, deep fried cadbury eggs and deep fried oreos. After completing this book, I was feeling the need to clean out my pantry, freezer and refrigerator simply because I felt ill by the excess in this book.
I am guessing this one will not make the American Heart Association list of recommendations. ( )

A funny, if disgusting read, but, even for a short book, the gimmick wears off halfway through and rapidly dissolves into "look, another picture of a bunch of bacon." Interesting enough to flip through. ( )
