Most of us take pride in the fact that we have some knowledge of proper nutrition and diet. Many of us run, bike, or do other vigorous exercise to maintain or college figures.

But there are some foods, often discovered in our youth, that no matter how nutritionally worthless they may be, are just too darn tasty to give up.

We may not tell our friends and loved ones, and we'll hide them under the other groceries in the supermarket, but somehow these guilty pleasure find a way into our gullets!

So without further adieu...

Top 5 Guilty Pleasure Foods

5. Velveeta Cheese. Who knows if there is any dairy product in this stuff. But darn it tastes good smothering nachos or melted on a toasted cheese sandwich!

4. Chicken in a Biscuit. The perfect cracker to compliment Velveeta. It's good to know that MSG and powder made from dry chickens can be so addicting!

3. Vienna Sausages. Though these little gems are not likely to show up as an appetizer at a fancy party, give me that yummy taste of Mechanically Separated Chicken and pork over cavier anytime!!

2. Sardines. Something about little stinky fish in a can turns off alot of people. But the fond memories of camping trips eating these oily creatures on a saltine cracker....

1. Hot and Spicy Pork Rinds. I know these delicious fried chunks of pig fat made a comeback during the Atkins craze. But some of us never abandoned these carnivorous treats! PETA be damned!

I wonder what the cholesterol levels are of the people on this thread? We are probably dying of clogged arteries as we speak!

Chicken fried steak...

[pissant]

Yes. And the bowl has to be huge!

[A knight without armor]

Maybe that's WHY he's still alive! It can be green and gray and tan and pink, all at once or ever changing! It's all part of the braunschweiger miracle food experience!

Olives. By far my favorite fruit!

[Petronski]

It's almost impossible to find sardines packed in mustard, they all say "mustard sauce," which could be anything. It's best to have extra mustard handy.

And some of these:

Meat of satan?

[pissant]

Yes. And no diet rootbeer allowed!!!

[freedomson]

I could eat the whole damn box!! YUMMMMMY!

Since you're a woman, I'm gonna guess that you weren't trying to make a double entente!

[A knight without armor]

I really like Vienna Sausages too, but I don't like messing up my fingernail getting the first one out.

[cyborg]

I'm making some for my future in laws. Want some?!

[Petronski]

"Oink oink."

[RedBeaconNY]

Yeah, I've lost most of my desire for them. But for a year, when we first moved into Rochester with a Krispy Kreme 15 minutes away, we got more than our fair share... A nice warm one fresh off the conveyor belt is still nice de temps en temps.

If the Islamofacists hate it, then all the more reason to enjoy it! ;o)

[newfrpr04]

forgot about "Potted Meat" parents use to have card parties on weekends and we had to help make mini sandwiches with that stuff, mixed with other things. They still make that stuff. so salty

[conservativebabe]

Yes! pickled pigs feet. Where I am from, it's a common addition to Mexican tostada's.

[Ursus arctos horribilis]

There is a local distribution center for the Little Debbie products. (the company also has a rather PC health oriented line, granola bars, cereals & such) One can get most anything there for 1/2 price, and often the expiration date is still 3 months away.

[Loud Mime]

Peanut Butter and Frito sandwich.....

It was created during an acute case of the munchies

[cyborg]

I don't eat pork. It's not my favorite food.

[LongElegantLegs]

Freshly made baklava(sp?).
Tooth-achingly delicious.
