This is why you’re fat – The website

If you’re an avid reader of the online version of Entertainment Weekly, you may have stumbled two days ago on a post about extremely fat food. Actually, the EW post lets you know of a website that posts pictures of artery-clogging food people actually eat! For example, the picture on the right of this post is that of a bacon shell taco!

If you need a push in the right direction to stop eating junk, visiting ThisIsWhyYoureFat.com may do the trick, because the pictures on the site are revolting!

“Where dreams become heart attacks” is the site’s clever, funny-yet-sad, motto. Some of the meals do look delicious, but when you take a second to think about the ingredients, you know that they are a heart attack waiting to happen. How can people eat such meals nowadays when we know about the negative effects of fat, too much salt, etc.?

Here are a few of the meals you can see picture of on the site:

Sloppy Joe on a Krispy Kreme donut.
Corn dog pizza.
Double bacon hamburger fatty melt, which is made of three bacon-stuffed grilled cheese sandwiches for buns, cheese, bacon and two four-ounce beefs patties!
Turbaconuncken – Yes, it is the famous turducken (chicken inside a duck inside a turkey) but with a twist! It’s wrapped in bacon!
Bacon donut.
Canadian bacon ice cream. Yes, you read right, ice cream that contains bacon bits!

Would you dare eating such things? I guess that having a bite of one of these meals won’t hurt your body too much and may be fun. However, eating the whole meal is a whole other thing. I almost got a heart attack looking at some of the pictures!

What’s the most artery-clogging meal you’ve eaten? For my part, I think it’s cheese burgers with bacon … which actually sound healthy when compared to what is posted on that site.
