    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.

    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.

    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.

    Burger King is advertising this in the US right now:

    Double Cheeseburger
    What can you get for a dollar*? Full. The 1/4 lb.† Double Cheeseburger is a lot of things – two beef patties, two slices of melted cheese, crunchy pickles, delicious ketchup and mustard – but above all, it’s a big flame-fresh taste for a tiny budget.* Price and participation may vary. Prices higher in AK & HI.† Based on pre-cooked patty weight
    770 calories 20g sat. fat 160mg cholesterol 6g sugar 30g carbs
    51g fat 2.5g trans fat 50g protein 1480mg sodium
    ---
    That's US$1, 33 baht, for 770 calories. Cheaper and more nutritious than anything dreamed of by Huxley.

    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.
