Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Sure, I love the fresh fruits and vegetables of summer, and there is nothing like a bright, crisp salad on a sunny day. But we have come into autumn, and the foods of fall sing out to us with steamy soups, hearty stews, and other rich, saucy dishes. While we certainly don't want to deprive ourselves, we still want to be mindful of all that work we did over summer to stay trim, fit and healthy. Forbes has listed some of fall's most fattening foods with their approximate calorie content, what we should watch out for, and about how long we have to sweat it out on the bike to burn off that second helping of stuffing. Then again, there's a reason this is sweater weather right? Eat all you want, and hibernate for a few months under layers of cashmere!

10-17-2006 @8:49PM Barabara Thompson said... This article was so very uninformative. As if we didn't already know these foods were "high calorie". Also, the figures are really impressive, except for what size servings? 10 peanuts, 20 peanuts? How many ribs, 2, 3, 4? Chicken wings, 4, 6, 12? I agree with Linda...how many people are going to eat Foie Gras? Not a real common food. Thanks for the uninformation! Barbara Thompson

But, it is the Holidays for goodness sake. Time to celebrate with family and friends. Eat merry and rejoice. Be thankful that you are not eating tofu turkey, and bean curd. And if you really want to break the rules and dig into some really evil sinful Holiday foods, then come down South where we know Southern Home Cooking 365 days a year, and Holiday dinners are fit for a King here. Then after dinner, go for a brisk walk in the chilly air and look at Christmas Lights.
