Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
After getting stuck under a lawnmower, Des Moines radio personality Van Harden says that he lost his taste for bread completely. Harden said "Doctor's can't explain it," but it could be the case that he experienced a side effect as doctors revived him from anesthesia after his surgery. With no appetite for bread, Harding was essentially living an Atkins-style life, but he did miss the taste pizza even though he didn't actually want to eat the wheat-based crusts.
Necessity is the mother of invention, so Harden came up with a 100% cheese crust pizza, complete with toppings. Think of it as being a stuffed-crust pizza, without the actual crust. Over the weekend, in what appears to be the first release of the product, over 200 were sold at two Des Moines Hy-Vee stores. More store are scheduled to offer the Atkins-friendly, gluten-free pie soon.

I guess I just don't know how you get stuck underneath a 6" mower unless you're REALLY hairy and thought a good mow might be easier than a full-body shave???

Thanks for posting this. I grew up in Iowa and Van Harden is a local institution -- EVERYONE knows them from their corny AM morning radio show. He and his co-host, Bonnie, also have an ice cream flavor called Van and Bon Bon. Vanilla ice cream with various flavored mini bon bons throughout. You can only buy it in Iowa, I think. Yum.

If by "win" you mean "product with horrible sodium, calorie and fat levels" - then yes, that's some "win".
