"The average Eritrean struggles to eat that in a day. "

"You could satisfy east Africa's 11 million hungry for about a week with that."

I knew it all along.....the Super Bowl is the ultimate expression of American hedonism and sadism. Why, these Americans even steal food from the poor Eritreans and east Africans!! /MEGA SARC

50 grams of fat... Uhm, that's about the equivalent of a single pint of Haagen-Dazs. It isn't hard to get 50 grams of fat in a day.

"The average armchair quarterback will consume 1,200 calories, and 50 grams of fat, in a three-hour scoffing binge.

Please! There's gotta be at least that many calories and as much fat in a "full English breakfast" (aka a "fry-up").

They're just jealous 'cause they don't have the teeth to handle crunchy snacks.

The author of this dreck is the science editor!

BTW, he doesn't have a problem with American food when it's served at a resort run by a liberal - Robert Redford's Sundance in Utah:

"ate spectacularly"

"plates of venison in berry sauce and buffalo steaks in jus."

"a glorious altar for the worship of alcohol, a particularly welcome feature in a state famed for its misanthropic attitude to drink."

I'm going to eat supper before the game, munch and drink wine and rum and coke if I run out of wine during the game. I'm going to have a good time. The article makes it sound like eating good things is a crime. I can't help it if people in other parts of the world are going hungry. How much foreign aid do we give out every year anyway? And to people who hate us and everything about us. Screw them. No guilty feelings here.

Here are 2 known facts:

1. There are relatively just as many fatso's in the UK as there are in the US.

2. The food in the UK is notoriously atrocious in texture, smell and taste.

Now the question is: what does that say about the people in the UK?

And the answer must be: nothing good.

Africa is poor because it's run by greedy and stupid people. Not because I enjoy snacks.

Mr. Guardian can just line up his grammas so I can give 'em a good slap.

I've had a 17 lb. turkey in the oven since 8:00 am. Pumpkin and pecan pies cooling on their racks. Home made oyster and chestnut stuffing. Candied yams with pineapple. Cranberry sauce.

Wish I could host all my FReeper pals. We could drink a toast to the spectral figure of the Guardian with his pinched, priggish, hypocritical face pressed to the window.

Got to go peel potatoes . . .

Bwwwhahahaha!!!

This comes from a country with fans behaving like this?

And with food like this?

Clean up your country first, Britain.

Can we not have any pleasure at all without having a story like this? I doubt people gorge themselves during the Super Bowl anymore than at other foodie circumstances. By the way, I had a dish of Neapolitan ice cream and sliced banana and tea.

A total of 156 billion calories will be absorbed by the 130 million people watching the Pittburgh Steelers take on the Seattle Seahawks at Ford Field in Detroit. You could satisfy east Africa's 11 million hungry for about a week with that.

Let's do the math here. 156 billion calories consumed in one day for 130 million people. However, the article wants to feed 11 million for a week. 130/11 is 11, so the calories should be enough to cover 11 million people for 11 days.

Oh wait, I paid attention again. Sorry about that...
