OH MY GOD!
This is exactly why I gain weight every time I visit the States. That stuff is like beautiful heroin. Just looking at it makes me gain weight and my cholesterol go up. But to see it in the flesh (so to speak) and smell the melting cheese and fried onions, man, that is impossible to resist.
I have thought a lot about the problem of food in the States, and one of the problems is ubiquity- there are restaurants that serve that stuff everywhere, and the supermarket is chock-a-block with the most unhealthy, delicious stuff. Here I know the Hagen Daz has probably been re-frozen, and not worth the effort, and most of the aisles are full of kim, grains, veges and meat- not tons of canned processed full of corn sugar "foods". The Publix where I shop in Miami has a full length wall of ice creams and frozen desserts- including tons of the good, premium stuff.
This summer I plan to do battle with those demons, but it will be hard. Around the corner from where I stay is the best burger joint, I cannot resist conch fritters, and Cuban roast pork, or deep fried pork chunks and yucca slathered in butter. *beep*, I am in trouble! |

| I showed that picture to the secretary at my hagwon and when I clicked on the window, it literally scared her. She jumped back and had to catch her breath. A few students said it looked horrible. Haha. I think it looks like diahrrea on a bun, but is probably pretty damn tasty. |

Interesting.
I showed my co-workers a picture of a tuna-ham-cream cheese-onion-jelly-jalapeno-mayonnaise-pasty margarine-green tomato-ketchup-honey mustard-well-being kimchi sandwich and got almost no reaction at all. Maybe because it was on white bread?
Weird. |
