Why are all Restaurants adding BACON to everything they sell? I have recently paid attention to people I see everyday in passing, and realize they are all over 300LBS? What the HELL is going on? No wonder I can't find a girlfriend I can afford to FEED! The Hell with are Politics, how about are size? I mean everyone I see has an ass wider than a Peterbilt? I welcome a response to this one!

I like cheese too. And meat and fish, both raw and cooked. And potatoes, carrots and other vegetables. And bread.

I weigh about 360lbs.

I also went to the Classy Freddie Blassie School of Etiquette, majoring in interpersonal communication with pencil-necked geeks.

Unless you are a pig or a farmer, why do you think someone else’s preference for bacon is your business?

What are you, a muslim with a bad case of pork prejudice?

Bacon is, in fact, a delightful blend of basic food groups: fat, salt and sugar. The only thing left after a bacon sandwich on a buttered, toasted bun is to wash it down with a drink containing caffeine and more sugar, such as Coke, or, better yet, Jolt Cola.

I would highly suggest the liberal use of olive oil in one's diet. While high in fat, olive oil helps nutrients become better absorbed in one's body, reducing the need (and desire) to eat so much in the first place. There are many other benefits of olive oil as well.

Also, margarine is about the worst thing you can possible eat. Much better off with butter.

Eggs are good for you. Forget about the "cholesterol" hysteria. Did you know that if you have high cholesterol in your body, that your body will continue to manufacture it even if you eliminated cholesterol completely from your diet? The key to controlling cholesterol is daily exercise and good nutrition. I eat a minimum of two eggs per day and my cholesterol is well below 200.

As for exercise, just forget about that "three days per week for 20 minutes" crap that the doctors dish out. That would do absolutely nothing for you. NO! You need to get your lard butt out there EVERY SINGLE DAY and MOVE THAT BODY.

I walk a minimum of five miles per day but usually get around 10 miles a day. The human body was built to walk and that is the perfect exercise for it. Forget about those silly situps and pushups and goofy, emasculating exercises they got you doing on those stupid commie (Jane Fonda) videos. Just get out on the pavement (or better yet wooded trails) and walk. And I don't mean sauntering or strolling either. I'm talking WALKING BRISKLY! Like you got someplace important to go. And I'm not talking about "power-walking" like a sissy with arms akimbo. I'm talking about walking with some determination and purpose.

And what can I say about the two worst substances ever put into our foods? I'm talking about high fructose syrup and hydrogenated vegetable oils (a/k/a "trans-fats).

Do yourself a favor and eliminate foods with those two ingredients from your diet completely. It might be hard at first but in quick time, you will realize how much better fresh, unprocessed foods can taste. Even if it might take a bit more time to prepare them.

Also, stay away from chain restaurants like Applebees and Ground Round. You will get fat eating in those places where half the menu items come with french fries and other junk that piles on calories while adding little nutritional value. Spend an extra few dollars on honest restaurants that make good food from wholesome ingredients.

Alcohol. Good for you in moderation if you are not disposed to alcoholism. Wine, beer, good stuff. I drink at least two glasses. But if you drink those two glasses at breakfast - consider it a warning sign.

Olive oil. Bears repeating. Get only extra virgin. Be prepared to spend $5 to $10 a bottle (or more) for the good stuff. Don't get the stuff on sale in the supermarket. It's probably not good. And if it's not extra virgin, don't bother. All the good stuff is leeched out of it otherwise and you don't want to know where that olive oil has been if it isn't the first pressing.

I learned the basic food groups as grease, caffeine, alcohol, sugar and salt.

Irish coffee with a pinch of salt is therefore the perfect food.

The good stuff is much more than that - $30 and up. I'm fond of Bariani, it's the affordable low end of the very high quality olive oils.

That is true. I date myself. You USED to be able to get decent olive oil at the $5 price-point. But I recently spent $16.99 for some olive oil from Greece and that was at the lower end of the spectrum at the whole-food supermarket I shop at.

Spending extra money is worth it because if it's not first press, most of the good stuff that olive oil provides is leeched out and it doesn't taste good at all.

Sensible advice. I use a lot of extra virgin olive oil and rarely eat sugar. Walking is one of the best ways to stay in shape, and it also seems to help me sleep at night.

It must be the heat. I don't mean fat people, but your post. It must be the heat. Drink more fluids and stay out of the sun.

As far as dating, if you can only attract 300-lb. women, well, um. . . never mind.

I LOVE bacon. I love pork, but bacon is the epitome.

Bacon makes everything taste good.

And it’s “OUR”, not “ARE”.

Shibumi, sounds like you might enjoy the treat Bacon Man found out how to make . . . Pig Candy.

Bacon can provide details, but essentially you dredge raw bacon in a mixture of cayenne pepper and brown sugar, and then you smoke it in the smoker.

Man oh MAN, is it ever good!

Anyway, like I was sayin’, clams is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, sautee it. Dey’s uh, clams-kabobs, clams creole, clams gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There’s pineapple clams, lemon clams, coconut clams, pepper clams, clams soup, clams stew, clams salad, clams and potatoes, clams burger, clams sandwich, clam chowder, clam coffee. That- that’s about it.

I get them, too! I only have to walk about 150 yards rom my house to a great crabbing spot, right near where i buy lobster right off the boat. Our rules are a bit different than MD, though, and we can’t use unattended pots, so I crab while I fish.

Next year, I’ll have my lobster license. Crabs have nothing on lobster!

Lobster is overrated. Way. IMHO!

Crab is the only crustacean that doesn’t even have an offensive texture. Not 1 “tough” part of them. And you can do all kinds of things with it!

I eat clams and scallops and shrimp (also best done MD-style like crabs), but I’m more offended by the bigger, tougher versions (I prefer small, because they’re tender). I know they would be most offensive to people because of the stringy/spongy tough texture.

Of course, it’s all JMO, and I am a native MDer. We LOVE crabs - you won’t find any place as devoted to 1 single food as MD. Crabhouses are everywhere, and crabs sold take-out everywhere.

Why are all Restaurants adding BACON to everything they sell?

Because bacon is meat candy. The real question is why is cheesecake an ingredient in some fast food deserts (along with cookie dough).

I’m not crazy about those King and Snow. But they are not tough like other non-fish seafood.

I would really like to try Dungenous (sp?) crab MD-style. They are huge/fat compared to Blue (tiny). My dad has eaten them the plain style on business trips to WA. And my brother in CA has cooked them up MD-style (he’s his own gourmet, but still loves the MD style and can’t get blue) for my parents - they said it was great.
