Well, back in the 80's there was a big uproar because under the Reagan administration...ketchup was allowed to be considered a vegetable in school lunch standards. But it really is high in vitamins...and I've seen some kids eat enough of it in one sitting to qualify as a whole tomato..

Well, it's gotta be better than haggas.

Seriously though, how can you deep fry chocolate? I don't get it. Not that I'm planning on whipping some up, LOL. Have you ever had one?

I have to admit that deep fried twinkies sound pretty good.

Dip in batter and drop into a very hot deep frier. The trick is to lift it out before the heat penetrates the batter too much. The batter turns crisp and when you bite into it melted chocolate runs out. Very tasty.
Deep fried camembert in breadcrumbs is cooked the same way.
Deep fried Mars Bars = instant coronary.

3. Higher disparity between haves and have-nots.. Low income layers are most obese.
4. Compared to Europe, poorly developed public transportation and bike/walk lanes.
5. American brand of individualism renders many health-oriented public actions ineffective.

Was doing a Photo shoot on South Beach in Miami yesterday.

No sign of obesity here, the guys, gals and touristas certainly has the most talent I have seen in ages. Maybe it is the nice weather, but I find Miami/S. Florida to have pretty fit and attractive folks.

Now, I was in Rome a few months ago, talk about fat women......

Florida has it's fair share of obese people - like many places.

Now usually they are a little dry so some squeeze margarine or cheese whiz on top makes them a lot tastier. __________________ Whenever I can't get excited about riding I just fantasize about someone else's bike.
