I need to look at packaging more closely.  This supremely delicious Trader Joe’s Bacon and Spinach Sald (which is easily the tastiest salad they make) is 880 calories with 70g of fat!

OMFG.  That’s 105% of all my fat for a whole day, and 85% of my saturated fat allotment.  Not to mention 2/3 of my day’s sodium.  How is this possible?  Of course I had to eat the whole thing before I was able to flip over the package.

Mind you, this is a 6oz. salad.  It’s not even a Big Salad.

Caveat emptor, bitches!

Google Zeitgeist reveals 2007’s most searched recipes and, dude, Americans got problems:

Recipes

1. master cleanse recipe
2. ratatouille recipe
3. lemonade diet recipe
4. mojito recipe
5. zucchini bread recipe
6. eggplant parmesan recipe
7. dog food recipe
8. chicken salad recipe
9. meatloaf recipe
10. simple syrup recipe

I get the ratatouille, mojito, zucchini bread, eggplant parm, chicken salad, meatloaf and simple syrup.  I even get the dog food, though I’m really surprised it made the top 10.  But 2 of the top 3 recipe searches are for diets?  That’s really disappointing on so many levels.  With all we know about basic exercise, nutrition and anatomy, it seems like Americans still can’t find a balance between good eating and good health.  Moreover, the belief persists that somehow putting one thing into our bodies will help get two things out.  It just don’t make no muahfuggin sense!

Take it from someone who’s been there:  eat less, move more.  The end.

Words escape me. It’s a fucking claw game to catch lobsters. Aside from the usual WTF and Oh No You Didn’t, allow me to highlight some of its many features:

“People enjoy seeing these amazing creatures living in this healthy environment and love trying to catch their very own lobsters.”

They do?? It is?? First off, I’d like to meet these people who enjoy seeing lobsters poked and prodded and stabbed in their last few hours on Earth, much less be a willing participant. I’m no PETA lover, but allowing creatures to suffer intentionally for entertainment is about as wrong as wrong gets. Second, it’s not healthy. Look at that hooch in the picture. She’s wearing a camisole from ‘98!

“Buy a Claw Game Today For $15,950…the King of the Revenue Stream!… Net up to $10,000 a year!”

So for the price of a small car (!), you can not only make profit but go straight to Hell. Please sign me up!

“Bars…see in an increase in revenue as entertained patrons order beverages and enjoy the fun.”

Let’s agree, as a civilized society, that alcohol and animal games don’t mix. Lobster claw…rodeo…hamsters…what have you.

Apparently there’s similar machines in Asia and California . Like Oakland?? Fuck no!
