[A repeat from May 22, 2014] Donna and I went to a restaurant the other night. The menu was peppered with admonitions like:
 LC – Low Cholestorol
 HH – Heart Healthy
 LS – Low Sodium
 PF – Peanut Free              GF – Gluten Free          And so on . . . .

Wouldn’t it be refreshing to see legends like FFF for “Fat Fat Fat” or HS for “Heart Stopper” or LC for “Loaded with Cholesterol” or MSS – “More Salt than Siberia.”  How about CG – “Calories Galore.”  I mean they put warnings on cigarettes (“you will die“) but the warnings on food rarely describe the effects of salt and sugar and the artery-clogging and unbalanced nature of fast foods, red meats and GMO’s.   

That said . . . . Burger King has a “Rodeo King Burger” (1,480 calories; 2,340 mg of sodium; 310 mg of cholesterol) to which you can add fries and a giant Coke (another thousand calories).   And – if you can go next door for a Sonic Blast beverage, you  tack on 1,540 calories.  Frankly, when I order a couple of Triple Whoppers, I like them with bacon and cheddar fries.  I finish with a massive piece of cheesecake.  Yum.  I wash it all down with a cup of black coffee with NutraSweet (certainly not sugar).  Now that’s living.   (Yawn)  I think I’ll take a nap.
