I though of Hughie's recipes when I read today of some *appetizers*
being served by American restaurants. 2,000 calories and 150 grams of
fat, more than half of them being sat fat, plus up to 32 teaspoons of
sugar. That's more calories than most of us need in a whole day and
something like five times the sat fat and sugar I eat in a week, and
it's just the *warmup* for just *one* meal in some slob's *single day*.

Our *teenagers* are coming down with Type II (i.e., self-induced)
diabetes, and many of them are facing self-induced amputations and
blindness *long* before they're old enough to even think about getting
their PSA checked or a PAP smear.

Now I just gotta know one more thing about these restaurants: WHERE ARE
THEY, so I can eat like a pig on pot between the time I become terminal
and the time I lose my appetite? Fajitas and strawberry shortcake are
great, but I really would like to top off my life with the kind of
outrageous gustatory crap I ate decades ago.

I.P.
