I'm wondering what was going through the person's head who first thought this up. So, how much junkfood do you eat?

AggieDave 6 #2 December 17, 2004 Denmark actually eats the most sweets per person in the world. Something like 25lbs per person per year! They need a McDonalds, Taco Bell and a Jack in the Box over there on every corner...--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

SpeedRacer 1 #6 December 17, 2004 The article mentions that mediterranean food is popular in Scotland, but in the form of deep-fried pizza! HTF do you deep-fry a pizza? America is still the fat capital of the world though (I think its because we drive everywhere).

AggieDave 6 #7 December 17, 2004 QuoteAmerica is still the fat capital of the world though (I think its because we drive everywhere). Most notably the drive through. Hell, we even have drive through liquor stores. You can pick up your entire meal and your beverages, drive to the drive in theater (we still have a couple around these parts) and never leave your car...just sit there and wallo in drive through greasey fattiness.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

AggieDave 6 #10 December 17, 2004 Quote but if the Scots keep it up, Fat Bastard will become a reality I firmly believe that other countries will experience the "obese epidemic" as fucking stupid as that is. The actual concept is asinine, but then again its sometimes hard to have the time to cook good meals on the go. But anyways, everyone dogs the US about it, I truely think its spreading (along with our fast food chains) and other countries are going to have problems with it in the next 20 years.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

SpeedRacer 1 #12 December 17, 2004 Its already happening. there are articles on the BBC website about how obesity is increasing in the UK & is becoming a growing problem. The British diet probaly isn't any better than Americans, might even be slightly worse, but they still have the advantage in that if you can walk to do your daily errands, you are generally going to be thinner than an American who puts his fat ass in a car seat just to get his groceries or go to the post office, etc. So much of America has been built along the 1950's suburbia model: houses all in one area, places of business &shops far away so you have to drive to get there. If they'd stop the stupid zoning laws & build geographically tighter towns with less urban sprawl, Americans would be a lot healthier, thinner, and would use less fuel. further proof of this: i'm too lazy to look up the source, but it has been shown that Americans in the city are less likely to be overweight than Americans in the 'burbs or the country.

freeflynick 0 #16 December 17, 2004 QuoteShocked HTF do you deep-fry a pizza? LaughLaugh Easy - pull it out of the freezer, fold it in half, drop it in the vat of hot fat, wait until it is piping hot (and until the base has absorbed a good proportion of the fat!!), then add some greasy chips and brown sauce and serve to the drunk at the counter!! ........my favourite is the deep fried haggis - seriously!! Nice and spicy, with brown sauce..... lardy heaven!! Hobbes: "How come we play 'War' and not 'Peace'?" Calvin: "Too few role models." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's not even the most unhealthy thing that you can buy from a Scottish chip shop either, as anyone who has been foolish enough to purchase a White Pudding will attest. Next to White Puddens, a deep fried Mars bar is like tofu. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpeedRacer 1 #21 December 17, 2004 just googled scottish white pudding. a pound of oatmeal + a half pound of beef suet (i guess that's lard) + some chopped onions & salt & pepper. hmmm, well, you got the beef fat in there, but at least you have some oatmeal in there too. I don't know which is worse (vs. the fried Mars Bar) but it seems almost like a competition for the most unhealthy food you can possibly imagine...
