While I would normally wait until Fun Friday to make this posting, I was so intrigued/appalled by this story that I wanted to share it sooner than later. Health.com just posted an article titled The 50 Fattiest Foods in the States – complete with pictures, written by Sarah Klein. No state is spared. Some of the creativity that went into these concoctions is noteworthy, if not artery-clogging.

One that caught my attention is from the state of Iowa: a hot beef sundae complete with mashed potatoes, roast beef, gravy, cheddar cheese and a cherry tomato on top. There is also a breakfast burrito from Colorado that weighs 7 pounds. No, that is not a typo. It contains seven potatoes and a dozen eggs, amongst other ingredients.

There are photos for each “winner”. In KeepWell’s home state of California, the winner is a double-double from In-n-Out. For those of you from the golden state, you know how wonderfully tasty and fresh In-n-Out burgers are and that it’s worth eating salad for a day or two to compensate for the food. Or, you could simply have their single cheeseburger and spare yourself some of the fat. Remember, all things in moderation. It’s lunchtime now. Wonder if I have time to make it to Louisiana for a beignet? :p
