I agree - Junk food does not have to be branded as farang only.

Fried Chinese bread, those fried sugar coated balls with taro inside, deep fored bananas, custard filled pumpkins, custard in sugary sticky rice etc are Thai junk foods heavily consumed in Thailand.

Also fast food made to order shops make up the majority of Thai restaurants. What is the difference between greasy fried rice and a cheeseburger?

How about greasy, fatty pork on stick or banana chips? They must have the same or more fat grams than most Western fast food meals.

As for an intolerance to dairy products? Thais slurp that soured milk in those tiny bottles like its going out of style.

^^Errr... a bit off target there. I'm an Aussie mate.

ENORMOUS AMERICANS EAT JAMIE OLIVER
19-01-10

OBESE Americans last night rejected Jamie Oliver's latest healthy food campaign by deep frying him in hog fat and eating his head.

Police prevented Oliver from being eaten raw

The chef was lecturing parents in Huntingdon, West Virginia, about the benefits of giving their children healthier food, ideally from Sainsbury's, when the group were overwhelmed by a sudden lust for flesh.

Welder Tom Logan said: "It was that big ol' tongue what done got ma juices flowin'. You could see that it was all good eatin' meat - no gristle.

"Fore I knew it I was dribblin' like a hound in a chitlin factory. Then I caught Randall Hobbs's eye an I knew he was thinkin' the same." Mr Hobbs added: "Yessireebob, I done ate his feet!"

As Jamie launched into a demonstration of how to prepare asparagus fettucine, locals surged onto the stage and started biting the fleshy parts of his face and body.

Amid the commotion local sheriff Stephen Malley fired his pistol into the air, ordering the attackers to cease until a suitable grill could be found.

He said: "It was nearly a damn waste, to eat an animal as good an' plump as that without proper cookin', seasonin' and a nice helping o' Grandma Logan's potater salad. We takes pride in our food 'round these parts."

A Channel 4 spokesman said: "Jamie and his production team went out to film a cookery show but like so many documentaries filmed in West Virginia, it quickly descended into a load of fat people eating a fat-tongued stranger."

The Town that Ate Jamie Oliver is on More4 this Friday at 8pm.

What is "junk food" exactly. Food of any kind is beneficial to the human body. Lack of exercise is the biggest worry, in my opinion. No such thing as bad cholesterol or good cholesterol. Your body regulates that automatically.

Great. Another cut & paste.

Any danger of a link? It's common courtesy.

Google "Myths about Cholesterol".

Interesting concept.

Gosh, you're so powerfull.

I'm in awe.

Mid will be worried.

Then again, Mid's cool. He won't be.

You might be worried though. How're you going to express your control needs there?

Interesting play MTD.

Oh. Hang on....

Why? He includes a link with his posts. Are you drunk again?

^^If that was in Bangkok, I would be there tomorrow. I'm in shape though, and certainly no fat bastard.

Two please.

The fat lispy mockney twat could do with losing a few pounds himself. That's not copied and pasted from anywhere either

Amazing how precious some people are on here when asked to provide a simple link

^He's very sensitive you know.

Actually, it probably tastes far better than the equivalent McD product, and the veggies should be more or less fresh. In terms of cost per calorie it is tough to beat, and if you are training or otherwise burning a lot of calories I don't see a problem. Nonetheless, for the average Yank sitting on his or her fat ass all day (in the car, at work, in front of a screen) it is a problem.

^For sure, like you mention, it's really not a problem if you are burning it back off.

if you went out and bought pork skin, then I am sure that would be more cost effective
