Chubby's (the deep-fried Oreo place) is legendary around here. Never been, but I'm dying to try it.

It's not just a problem being experienced in America though. Developed countries across the world, including Britain, are experiencing huge upsurges in cases of morbid obesity.

Life-style changes, diet changes, are all contributing. Even my own country has an increasing percentage of the overweight.

True. And I have recently read that in Brazil, for the first time in history, more children are suffering from obesity than from malnutrition. The same is said to be true in most Latin American countries.

Morbid obesity? :lol: Sorry, I know I shouldn't laugh, but that's just too funny.

As I love hot dogs, I'll have the Matrix Reloaded Dog:
three hot dogs in a mondo tortilla, plus three bacon slices, three slices of cheese, plus onions and chili.
My mouth waters just thinking about this. I'm seriously inspired to make my own. We need a drooling emoticon.

*shakes head* sick...I can't even eat at McDonald's anymore...my parents went on a healthy food kick, and now I'm hooked; it makes me queasy eating anything that heavy...I never did get into the whole diet pop thing, though.

:LOLS:

I know how that feels, no matter what I eat, I stay pretty damn skinny. Not that I'm complaining on the whole, but a few extra K's wouldn't hurt.

Hooray for the metabolically over-active! ;)

I've been to America once before. And I went in this resturant. And it was stupid. I ordered a steak. And there was this massive steak given to me that was bigger than two big sozed plates. It was on a tray. Not to mention the truck load of chips... I mean why? :? Do they really expect us to eat all that? It was a complete waste of food.

I found the starters in America are bigger than the main courses here. As for "do they expect us to eat all that?" - presumably Americans do eat it, so yes.

Damn, I hope not. ;)

But the longer we converse, the more similarities become apparent. Still, I've seen your pic, and although there are some similarities there too, at least we look different. Somewhat anyway. :lol:

You are rapidly becoming one of my favourite members of the watch.

And where is your pic?
