land of the fat
america wonders why the percentage of overweight persons keeps rising. the kfc variety big box meal. that's why. i saw a commercial for this last nite and was wondering if it was for just one person for just one meal and yes, that's the idea. in case you haven't seen an ad for this, lemme tell you what you get: a drumstick, a crispy chicken strip, an indiv. order of popcorn chicken, a biscuit, 2 sides of your choice, and a 32 oz. drink.
it's a heart attack in a box. so i went online and used their nutrition calculator which allows you to see all the wonderful nutrition facts for all their menu items. for kicks and giggles i decided to see how quickly this big box meal would kill you. the sides i used were mashed potatoes and gravy and just to cut you some slack, the cole slaw although there are fattier (and most likely tastier) choices like mac & cheese.
ready for this? 1455 calories give or take a clogged artery. 65 grams of fat. 165 carbs. 48 grams protein. oh and the nutrition facts only went up to a 22oz. drink so go ahead and add in some extra calories and carbs...
1455 is the number of calories an average sized woman is supposed to eat in ONE DAY. not one meal. so please, for the sake of your own health, don't ever order this unless perhaps you're sharing it with someone else.
*getting off the soapbox now*
