We admit it. Clean Plate Charlie eats fast food. We're human, too. Even with all the good food that we eat and write about, sometimes we're in a rush...or on the turnpike...or dreadfully hungover.

When that happens, like you, we don't want a Martorano's meatball or sushi from Marumi...we want a Big Mac (and supersize, me). The only problem (besides waking up in a pool of special sauce the next morning?) -- walking into a McDonald's and dreading the possibility of being recognized as a foodie that actually eats this crap.

Thankfully, we found a new product designed to take the shame out of

shameful dining. The McDonald's shame mask is designed to be worn while

ordering at the fast food giant.

And remember -- eating fast food is like picking your nose. We all do it, it's just best to do it behind closed doors.
