More disgusting food: Meet diabetes, in shake form!

This is no beef sundae, but it will do. Now, I enjoy a good shake as much as the next person, but check out the specs of this new Heath shake at Baskin Robbins. Kind of frightening.

Last time I checked, an adult male should consume 2,500 calories a day, and this shake nearly meets that requirement! The saturated fat present in that shake is over 3 times the RDA of 20 grams, which will put you on the fast track for heart disease. Of course, that’s if the Type 2 diabetes caused by all 266 grams of that sugar doesn’t get you first.

Now, I’m not familiar with how a restaurant makes its food available to the public (I assume it has something to do with fairies and the power of positive thinking) but shouldn’t someone, somewhere put the kibosh on this? Yes, America’s fat. Yes, sweets are delicious. But if you need to eat half a pound of sugar (actual amount in there), you would be better off legitimately eating half a pound of sugar. Hell, snort it and it’d probably be just as good for you.

In fact, maybe I should start a diet where you just snort sugar. Or, even better, cocaine. Amy Winehouse has never looked thinner. And we can call it Chris’s Crazy Cocaine Diet, with a picture on the front of the box with me dressed in a chef’s hat with a lush mustache saying “The party never has to stop, and neither does your health!” Oh the things I’d do with a marketing budget.
