Last issue’s column on healthy food choices was so popular that we just had to cover the topic again. Which of the following menu options is better for your health?
Option #1
Tofu burger on a gluten-free bun, organic grapes and guava juice.
Option #2
100% beef burger dripping with fat and grease, cooked to perfection on a non-stick iron pan, covered with three kinds of cheese, fried onions, tomato and pickles, served on a toasted bun slathered with butter, mayonnaise and ketchup, extra greasy French fries liberally sprinkled with salt and a Sam Adams Imperial Stout.
Answer:
Holy crap, do you even need to think about it? Do I even need to describe how tasteless and yes, un-American tofu is? Gluten-free? Gluten is what made America great. And isn’t guava another name for bat excrement? Maybe not, but still…
As far as option #2, that fat & grease will keep you warm in the winter and help you float in the swimming pool in the summer. All the toppings (or fixing's as we call them around the holidays) help keep American workers employed in these hard economic times. No contest.
