No wonder Americans (USA) are so fat


It's so-called Super Bowl Sunday weekend back in the States.  Time for a giant pan of aunt Tracy's famous 7 layer taco dip (with extra sour cream).  Or your brother-in-law Paul's famous double bacon and cheese sliders (with extra mayonnaise mixed right in the meat!)  Or better yet: food blogger Amanda's double stuff Oreos baked inside chocolate chip cookies (no kidding).

I was doing some TasteSpotting this morning (nibbling on real Triscuits, compliments a care package from Rachel -- shout out!)  And what to my wondering eyes should appear but a chocolate, sugar, fat bomb disguised as a cookie.


In all honesty, I could see myself eating one of these - but just one, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.  Count me among the fat Americans, unfortunately.

It's important to remember that there are very few Big and Tall clothing stores here in Brazil.  Style and selection are narrow.  Better that I stick to the banana mango sorbet.
