Or the "Ultimate White Trash Hot Dog" (hot dog infused with cheese, deep fried, wrapped in bacon and fried again) or "El Nino" (ground beef, sauteed onions, sour cream, lettuce, tomato and cheddar cheese wrapped in a large pepperoni pizza). 

These and all your cardiologist's greatest hits can be found at one of the world's most disgusting blogs: thisiswhyyourefat.com.

it launched in February. That led, natch, to a book deal and the

result--"This is Why You're Fat: Where Dreams Become Heart

Attacks"--went on sale last week. (Buy it here.)  

It's the perfect antidote to Slow Food. Call it Slow Death Food.
