Health Magazine released today their "opinion" of The 50 Fattiest Foods in America. If you know me well, you know if I use quotations I am being insulting. I would like to argue that I could probably find 50 foods in Louisiana alone fattier (is that word?) than beloved beignets, a favorite for locals and tourists alike. I digress. If you are interested, check out your state here.

I can't decide if this list grosses me out or if I want to try them. Some are crazy (a BLT with 20 pieces of bacon???), some are lame (poor Massachusetts got a chocolate chip cookie), but my all time favorite is from my dear home state, Georgia. I introduce you to...The Luther Burger. Named after R&B legend Luther Vandross (not sure if he ate them but Health Magazine wanted to make sure we knew he was diabetic in the article).

A ground-beef patty, topped with cheese and bacon between two Krispy Kreme glazed donuts instead of a bun. I will not bother including the nutrition information because unlike Health magazine, I don't like to think about that when I am enjoying something delicious (not saying this is delicious, just saying).

Disclaimer: As a dietitian I am not promoting eating like this to the public (or blog world), I'm just saying it's okay to indulge, in moderation...which I guess might not include 20 pieces of bacon.
