Super Size It

[Kitte]

Ok this started as a reply to the Bagel thread then I decided I wanted it to have its own...

Ok Im gonna get shot here but I am ready to die for what I believe in.
Bagels are getting out of control. They used to be a small round crispy on the outside chewy on the inside delicious food. You could sit and eat a bagel for breakfast and you were golden. WHEN did the bagel start taking Steroids? Now when you get a bagel it is half the size of your head. Now in some things in life I agree bigger is better Bagels is not one of them.

I used to be able to sit and eat a bagel for breakfast and that was fine. Now it is half of my fat and calories for the day if I eat a whole one. I suppose it is more my thought of why is food in general getting so big?

Super Size everything. It is cheaper to buy more. People wonder why Americans are heavier then ever.
Yes we should exersize restraint in what we eat we do have complete responsibility in the long run but wouldnt life be easier if you ordered a burger and it was just a burger not a 4lb monstrosity.
JMHO though.

Kitte, I agree with you. If you think the bagels near you are bad, New York bagels are probably worse.

Add the amount of cream cheese needed to cover the damn thing, and you have two meals worth of food. When I get a bagel, I usually just throw out half of it before I even start eating. That solves the problem for me.

NYC bagels are the best...sometimes you just got to cave and get a egg-salad loaded bagel...yum!

So - you're saying you don't want ANYTHING supersized?

Check out the portioning on stuff too. The muffins that I love at the grocery store are huge. They're also 4 servings per muffin. FOUR!?

I never super size anything. If I eat fast food, which is rarely, I get a kids meal. My tummy is full, and I don't feel bad for eating an entire cow. I also get a nifty toy. The bobbly headed Stitch on a surfboard looks so cute on my dash.

Even at home, I started actually measuring out food, trying to figure out how much extra we were all eating everyday. Pretty damn scary.

Ohhh, I know- so fucking good- especially on an onion bagel. However, the days of egg salad and bagels are over for me. I am commited to losing at least 10-15 pounds.

Well there are CERTAIN exceptions of course

 

[Dillinger]

Ah... good to know! *grin*

 

[Merelan]

Dillinger... I think she meant chocolate. Chocolate should always be supersized... right?

 

[Calamity Jane]

But can you think of a better way to supersize your chocolate than coating dilly's bar with it?

 

[Dillinger]

This is getting good... very good...

 

[Merelan]

I have the chocolate..............

 

[Calamity Jane]

Oh goody... now where's Dilly?

 

[Bindii]

It looks addictive.....

ba·gel
n.
A glazed, ring-shaped roll with a tough, chewy texture, made from plain yeast dough that is dropped briefly into nearly boiling water and then baked.

Our bagels are on steroids. Or so it seems to me.

Is it just me, or does that bagel have a very....sexual look about it??
No wonder I crave the damn things so much!
