This is a real image of the ‘Halloween’ version of the Whopper from Burger King.
There’s mixed reaction..
I somewhat think the colors accurately reflect the quality of product you’re consuming anyway.. perhaps even more shows the decay of flesh that takes place in your stomach as the rotting corpse of meat breaks apart before excretion..
Happy meatless Halloween.
Just started following High Carb Hannah

I’m not completely at a no animal fats point yet but my diet has significantly altered over the past decade to get me closer.. The thoughts of how I ate in my early 20s is horrible considering how I feel now compared to then..
I don’t like getting preachy about food, I’m not perfect or even close. But I think we all should attempt to get closer each day..
Hannah with high calories may help. And potentially could shatter that ‘just eat ten meals a day’ and lots of other beliefs you harbor ..
As a father myself I get this and believe it.. I gained some weight not only during my wife’s pregnancy but also in the post baby days. My entire body chemistry changed for about two years until I stopped recognizing myself in a mirror.. A diet change and exercise occurred but now as my son develops his love of Zebra Cakes and other little nuggets of sugar, I find myself fighting hard to stick with vegetables and nuts…
I want to avoid the ‘dad bod’ not only for my own health but also for my son’s future and to be there for him..
He had over 111,000 calories in 154 days.. And according to his blog detailing his eating habits he’s gotten healthier..
A study may rock your weight loss world: That was the basic finding of a recent study published in the Journal of Marketing Research. The analysis found that people who were chronically concerned about their weight and ate fitness-branded foods actually ended up eating more and working out less…
Some have alleged that this study us a conspiracy–that food companies shoveling chemicals on us wants us to keep our mouths open for more.. But others have acknowledged it’s perhaps now how you eat, but what you eat.. and how much of what you eat. Coupled with an active lifestyle. And genes.
It’s not simple.
But what is acknowledged: People who eat too much, regardless of food, don’t get thin:
The study authors gave over 150 weight-conscious men and women a bag of trail mix. Half of the snacks were labeled with the word “Fitness” and displayed an image of a running shoe; the other half were simply labeled “Trail Mix.” The participants were given eight minutes to snack at their leisure. In another phase of the study, they were given the option to exercise on a stationary bike as vigorously as they liked after eating the snack.
The results showed that people given the “Fitness” branded trail mix ate on average 59 more calories and exercised less intensely, burning 11 calories fewer than those snacking on the plainly-marked packages.
“In part it comes down to what we call the ‘health halo,’ where we tend to over-indulge and take in more calories if we feel the snacks are healthy,” Phillips said. “But to me it also kind of exposed this insidious way that labeling gives people who are trying to lose weight a false sense of security.”
A new report from the Lloyds of London (full PDF link here: http://www.lloyds.com/~/media/files/news%20and%20insight/risk%20insight/2015/food%20system%20shock/food%20system%20shock_june%202015.pdf) is shining some light on the future events that could challenge society and push the planet to a breaking point. Specifically, if you take the time to read through the 30 page report, you’ll find a few gems worth cringing over. Such as this:
2040 could see food shortages and riots that may challenge society, government, and create a breakdown of the fabric of humanity. If measures are not taken, it would appear that the authors think unprecedented food shortages and riots will take hold.
The report calls the food system “increasingly vulnerable to acute shocks” and suggests that food production needs to more than double by 2050 to meet the needs of the planet..
This is not the first time that scientists and experts warned to impending doom.. For a few decades we have been told the water supply was quickly running out. We have also been told of a few other disasters coming our way.. Some occur. Some don’t. Some are slower than expected and others never materialize at all..
But the food shortage notion is not new.. Others have warned about it for years.
And all the while, farmers across America are halting production.. there is a lot of land and few gardens.. few people tilling the soil. Instead people plant grass and want it to be as green as possible.
But you can’t eat grass.
Until 2040. That’s when anything appears to be on the table.

Olive Garden pins comeback hopes on technology -l
The bread sticks are getting cold and old. The Olive Garden is having some mighty oily issues as foot traffic declines. Their silution? Take out and delivery. As FORTUNE reports,
“CEO Eugene Lee thinks that the to-go business can eventually grow to 20% of sales at Olive Garden. What’s more, Lee said Olive Garden is gearing up to offer delivery, particularly for large parties.”
Perhaps the quality is the issue over quantity or ease of eating.. the same for McDonalds, which is also seeing peoblems similar to the Olive Garden. Perhaps it’s the American taste buds that ate changing–People want to vanquish salt and sugar from their diets. Olive Garden could be a victim of changing times. ..
