The only real way to control our diets and eat healthier, the study suggests, is by cooking our own meals at home.

I—an Italian-American gal from Brooklyn’s mafia country who talks with her hands and says things like “gabagool” without a trace of irony—

so I’m guessing you’re in eastern Canada. 

Carl’s Jr. is the same chain, so if you have one of those closer to you they offer this thing too. 

between this, the pizza, and Hot Pockets, I shudder to think what your doctor is going to say at your next physical.

yep

I’m more distressed that the word “cheese” doesn’t appear in there.

people who discard broccoli stalks should be shunned.
