The writing style of this whole article is completely condescending. The author makes it sound like she, herself, would never even consider eating anything of the foods written about.

The article presents a repellent bourgeois view that is subliminally disparaging of the people who would eat fast food, who most often happen to be of a lower socioeconomic segment. Some people don't have a choice in the calorie content of their foods because of their limited economic flexibility.

And besides, when you're 12 shots in, I'm positive you won't be worrying about the calories. And it just tastes too goddamn good.

Someone needs a chill pill. I mean, seriously, lay off the Haterade. This article is not any sort of op-ed in the Times about social issues. It's a compilation of gross food.

Can we try and remember that pretty much everything is fine in moderation? I mean yeah these portion sizes are out of control, but if you're not eating it for every single meal, it's not going to kill you. There are not "good" foods or "bad" foods. It's all about balance. Chill out.

I agree with Jillian. This article is so ridiculous, dripping with sarcasim! It's like a sketch out of SNL.

jillian used a thesaurus for her response, she's so cool.

of course this shit is bad for you – does anyone not actually know that? you can get remotely healthy things at fast food places, too.

Emily says:

I disagree with all of you. The article is hysterical in part because it's so true — eating this sort of stuff (no let me fix that, producing and selling this sort of stuff to the public) is insulting and destructive. If you want to drink till you're 12 shots in and stuff your face with fat, I wish you luck finding any scintilla of self-esteem. Rich people eat as much fast food, maybe more, as poor kids. You can throw that argument at just about anything, but it's misinformed and inaccurate.

I am not sure what bothers me more, the fact that someone/someonezzz out their actually made these "recipes" or the fact that a large number of people out their must actually eat them.

What should we put in a bread bowl!?—more bread.

oye.

But I can't turn down stuffed crust lolol

Fri, 8th May 20091:46 pm 

…yeah- if you're already 12 shots in, who the hell cares what you eat- you're effed already. Besides, that's the perfect time to eat all that stuff… you're just gonna puke it up anyway with all that alcohol.

Nobody really cares about your self-righteous views on food… and I would assume that anybody reading this blog is not eating this stuff on a daily basis anyway…

For some reason I pictured you hunched over one of those bread/pasta bowls scarfing it down as you wrote this ridiculous article. The quickest way to make someone assume you have an eating disorder is vilifying food like this.

I'd rather dive into a KFC chicken bowl after two hours of MMA than get e-coli or salmonella from organic bean sprouts (ooh.. I think I just puked a little).

Sally says:

I don't get why so many of you are angry at the writer. Seems misplaced to me. Get a life. She's not self-righteous, she's a great reporter who found all this junky stuff out there and put out a warning. She's funny and helpful — sure got ME laughing! And I HATE beans or anything that has the word legume near it. But the alternative is not to plop my (yes, well-toned) butt down at Pizza Hut and imbibe fattening food that makes my body work quadruple-time just to digest it and my heart pound harder in 30 years, or even now! Not all people who eat healthy are anorexic! Some actually respect their bodies and themselves.

Kallen says:
Fri, 8th May 20093:17 pm 

I might have enjoyed this article if the writer actually mentioned any facts behind her reasoning. As it is, she only spoke briefly of facts in two of the descriptions, and the rest of the article was her giving her own opinion about these foods. Obviously a lot of foods aren't good for you, but we would rather know why than get an article full of a girl going "eeew".

Casey says:

Hey, ladies? I think that she was (kind of) joking around….

Lisa says:

I think the tone is too condescending in this article. Yeah…those foods arent good for you…but seriously….they taste good. Everyone's got their priorities. If weighing 90 lbs is one of yours, dont hate on the rest of us.

Katie says:
Fri, 8th May 20097:49 pm 

I think it's kind of ironic for me that the Domino's bread bowl pasta is on the list b/c I just tried it for the first time tonite. I was kind of skeptical at first, but after eating it, it ranks above dining hall food (which is the rough equivalent of prison food at my school) and below eating in an actual restaurant. So I think it's in an acceptable range of grossness/goodness, for Domino's at least lol. The portion of pasta isn't that overwhelming, and I only took 3 bites of the crust, so hopefully I'll be okay o_0.

Alluv says:
Fri, 8th May 20098:33 pm 

Most of this stuff is carbs!!! Gotta love them!!! Even though the author is kinda just stating her opinion and we shouldn't be eating this type of food for every meal, it is okay to indulge every once in awhile, and especially if you are an athlete, like a swimmer or soccer player, the carbs might do you some good the night before a meet/game! Eat what you want, and balance out your life is my motto!!

LOL wow everyone definitely needs to chill out. The author’s just warning you of the not-so-healthy foods that people will tend to grab when completely hammered drunk. If you think the tone is condescending, perhaps think that its that way for a reason! She’s trying to help you avoid eating foods that could crater an entire week’s workout. It’s perfect, funny, and extremely well written. And to Jillian, please calm down. Overcompensating on vocabulary to mask insecurity or an overall lack of substance in your argument isn’t a good idea.

Casey says:
Mon, 11th May 20092:43 pm 

I LOVE KFC mashed potato bowls! And P’zones and stuffed crust pizza! They taste AMAZING! Of course I don’t eat them all the time, they are a rare occasion when I haven’t had much time to eat that day and need to grab something fast. But I’m a size 2 (and no I don’t have a fast metabolism) As long as you work out regularly, and eat a majority of healthy food then you can indulge in whatever the hell you want every now and again. Of course this stuff isn’t good FOR you, but it sure tastes delicious.

Actually I think it’s kind of ridiculous all the comments saying this stuff is disgusting. It’s only disgusting if you eat it every day for breakfast lunch and dinner, (ok maybe a little less) otherwise, it’s really not THAT bad.

Shea says:

All right, this one's for Sally. Just because people eat this shit doesn't mean they're not healthy or don't have "well-toned butts" like yourself. Don't sit there and accuse people who eat stuff like this of not caring about their bodies. I eat healthy most of the time, but come on, everyone needs a piece or five of stuffed crust. Especially when they're drunk. So lay off the insults. It IS possible to still be healthy and eat this stuff. Just don't eat it every meal of the day, you dumbass.

Hannah says:

Apart from the claims of socioeconomic elitism made earlier in this chain of comments, this food is disgusting. Even if your financial bracket places constraints on your food budget, it shouldn't prompt ANYONE to go out and buy Bread Bowl Pasta things. I mean, honestly, pasta is basically the cheapest food that you can purchase, so buying it from a fast food place isn't fiscally wise anyway.

Also….this is funny, mostly because I too have almost vomited in response to the pasta bread bowl commercials, as well as during p'zone commercials. Especially, when p'zones are heralded as containing a pound full of ingredients. I mean, as good of an idea as THAT sounds like, no thanks.

That food is disgusting. I can't believe the first one. You can't buy that in the UK.

Thinking that this shit masquerading as food is gross, doesn't make you anorexic. Ew!

Seriously people, this is a blog post not a front page article in the Times. This stuff is supposed to be kinda silly, funny and based on opinion- if it wasn't would you still be reading it? Don't attack the author just because you don't like her opinion.

Also, Get a life

The comments on this post are more hilarious than the actual post. Does the post sound sarcastic and condescending? Yes, yes it does, but does it claim any sort of superiority or knowledge on the topic? Not really. It's an internet page about food that the writer thinks is gross. It's an opinion and slight attack on a choice of food that the author finds disgusting. Also, it's a humorous internet article.

An internet opinion.

Even on legitimate websites it's still the internet and points of humor may be lost in translation (from spoken to written). I highly doubt anyone was hoping for a discussion on the poor quality of food available to lower income families. If so, it would have been brought up previously.

S.N.A.F.U. in your humorous article? It's more likely than you think.

Trisiana says:

Gross food vs. number of shots? I'd still go with neither.

I totally agree with this article. It's disgusting the kinds of foods that are being sold. No wonder teenage obesity is becoming an epidemic. Ugh, it's horrible how much money and business these fast food chains make. Really though, who'd want to eat any of that? I feel like throwing up just LOOKING at those photos.

lol, the stupid little girl who wrote this is a retard. I bet you just LOVE McDonalds salad don't you? Please, go eat the nearest pile of grass because that's about as much taste as you have. Your opinion is just plain out wrong. You're not attractive, that I'm positive of. Probably some fat girl who thinks she's pretty…lol, you're ugly and you have poor taste! God, what a subhumanoid you are…

Everyone has there own opinion on todays saturated fats added to every public resrtaurants menu but I do agree with a previouse blogger that we must not forget moderation. Your realy only supost to have one slice of pizza of ANY KNID… Yes, even how made. The average person, espicially those trying to loose weight should eat six small meals a day. Two of wich should be fruits with negative colories… Always Start your day with a healthy 300-400 calorie breakfast at the minumum. If you dont have time, grab A Natures Vally granola bar with a bottle of water and some juice… I prefer coffee with a tsp of sugar (remember moderation). Oh yeah, and dont deprive yourself of the foods you enjoy like candy, pie, etc… Its truly not going to do you any good you will splurge into glutonly and feel bad about yours self wanting you to eat more….

My point, these food CAN kill you, if you LET them… MODERATION is the KEY!!!!!!

Calm down, guys! I'm pretty sure we graduated from junior high a while ago. Don't you have enough drama in your real life social life? Why take it to CollegeCandy?

Caroline, I give this article a thumbs up. Your sarcasm is hilarious, and these disgusting foods are detrimental to anyone's bikini body (excluding the girls who are stick thin and have the metabolism of a hummingbird…ladies, I hate you. Or at least your metabolism.)

In response to some other haters on here, just because she chooses not to eat (breathe, smell, etc) any of these atrocities doesn't mean she is ANOREXIC! I have a fear of greasy, fatty, high calorie foods; it makes me sick to look at them, yes. But I eat a healthy amount and get all of the nutrients I need; and in moderation, when I'm out with people, I'll make an exception. But going so far as to accuse her of being anorexic and bashing on an article that is obviously supposed to be funny, well, put on your big girl panties, because in the real world, people are going to say things you don't like.

Having an open mind to other people's opinions is a virtue; and while speaking your mind is definitely a strength, it quickly becomes a weakness when you open your mouth about everything. It's pizza, for heaven's sakes.
