I work at a gas station...job sux...but we serve some fast food there. The grossest thing I have ever seen is gizzards. I'm from the south and we don't even eat this crap. Out here, it is a staple in gas stations and groceries hot prep items. A stand at Pike Place market even offers Gizzards...gross! (And not just because I am a vegetarian...)

YUK!!!!!!!!!!

Wait. Aren't gizzards chicken guts? Who stops into a gas station to pick up gizzards? Some pretzels, water... oh and that pile of poultry intestines.

Maybe I'm wrong but, now that I think of it, gizzards doenst even sound like something I wanna eat.

If its your original caramel Twix, then its a bad meal, however if its the Peanut Butter Twix, then you my friend have just described the true breakfast of champions.

I overheard a pregnant woman the other day talking about how she eats a dunkin donuts bagel with full-fat cream cheese for breakfast at 10 AM, and then to make up for the high fat/caloric content, she just doesn't eat again until 5:30. :rolleyes:

I think there needs to be more emphasis on teaching about (and feeding!) school children healthy diets in this country. There are too many people out there that just don't know how to eat healthfully, and many of those people don't care that they don't know.

Gizzards are secondary stomachs used by birds to grind their food before digestion. Because birds don't have teeth, they must fill their gizzards with small stones to achieve the same goal. Gizzards contain a very tough inner membrane, surrounded by a muscular pouch which provides the grinding action. Gizzards are part of the group of foods called offal, which also includes beef tripe, chitlins (pork intestines), and hearts.

While many people may recoil at the thought of eating bird stomachs, gizzards are actually a popular food item around the world. Gizzards may be poached, boiled, ground, or even deep fried. Turkey gizzards are also included in the collection of neckbones, hearts, livers and gizzards known as giblets. These giblets are often used to make a stock or broth for dressings and soups. The gizzards alone can also be added to soup stocks for additional flavor.

I am sorry, but I live to eat. It is my favorite thing to do in the whole entire world. I am only on this blue marble for such a small period of time that I am going to eat whatever I want.

For you people that eat healthy...keep at it. Do what makes you feel good. It's just not for me.

I read this as I finish my lunch of frozen pizza, cheetos, and a dr.pepper.

at least I recognize that I just consumed a load of crap!

I don't eat this way normally, but no funds for my normally fancy oragnic foods

It's a shame it costs so much to eat really healthy food.

You are so right. Bag of apples - $2.50 Bag of Doritos $1.19

Sometimes it doesnt seem fair.

I wouldn't eat an apple if it were the last food on earth! GROSS...

Doritos and Dr Pepper can make me smile and include a little Debbie Nutty bar and then I'm in love!!

How are you suppose to know if it is grass fed? I think the ground beef that I eat smokes cigarettes.

well I consider myself to be pretty fat at the moment, and I'm sitting here eating tofu and carrot salad on a whole wheat wrap and drinking water.

Well I live mostly on frozen boritos and pizzas, so I'm not exactly the healthiest, but watching adults eat sweets as meals like little unsupervised children is a fucking disgusting.

that's the problem with being adult...trying to at least pretend to be responsible.


that said, more often than not i really do try and eat healthy....and usually do. but oh yes, i definitely have my cravings and binging moments....and i love so many sweet/fatty/spicy foods. yikes!

if you 'are what you eat'....well i far rather be a decadent dark chocolate bar than even the tastiest of berries.

that is hilarious!

ask your butcher
the stuff in your typical meat case is not grass fed (most likely)

meat, poultry and fish probably account for 70% of the food budget
and I agree that the prices for better quality foods are outrageous
