You nailed that one. It is amazing to me how food-centric we have become. Not surprising, I guess, given the relative affluence of our country -- a lot of expendable income, and an increasing trend toward instant gratification. I LOVE food... and eating out... but everything is either gigantic portions, or loaded with motor oil, and often both.

The obesity epidemic is going to get much worse before it gets better. And I'm not passing judgement on anyone -- I know very few people who can consistently navigate the minefield that is the innundation of "consume, consume, consume" messages.
