Is the Economy Making Us Leaner?

One would think that the economic downturn might have a positive effect on out belt lines above the wallet, but it appears that such is not the case. In a report compiled by Trust forAmerica's Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the determination was made that waistlines are still growing in 28 states of this country! My supposition is that it's all due to comfort food eating by people depressed at the economic woes of the country...or the immigration policies...or the environmental disasters...or the government budget...or, well, you get the picture. That's a LOT of comfort food going down the hatch and out at the waistline.
If you are so motivated, you can check out "health.com" for a list of the 50 Fattiest Foods Across America." This is a handy guide for those of you traveling across the country who are tired of eating variations on bacon!. I have garnered just a few of the highlights as well as one of the most incredibly amazing websites for an eating establishment: noted below.
Meandering through Colorado? Search out the five-pound breakfast burrito!
Thinking about catching the fall colors in Vermont? Stop for a Ben & Jerry's "Vermonter: 20 scoops of ice cream with hot fudge, bananas, cookies, brownies and other assorted toppings.
Taking in the sights of the southeast, be sure to stop for some Mississippi Mud Pie composed almost exclusively of chocolate, cream, butter and sugar while weighing in at a mere 35 grams of fat per serving.
My favorite, however, and the place whose online ad you MUST look at, is the Heart Attack Grill somewhere in Arizona. Be sure to check out the "Quadruple Bypass Burger" that features a whopping 8,000 calories and a stupefying 60 grams of fat. I can hear those arteries closing like an open door in a wind storm.
This is the kind of juicy information found on the "health.com" website. Check it out...if you dare. But, by all means, take a gander at the web site listed below.

Besides the awful diet - it couldn't have anything to do with the hours we now spend in front of technology?
