**BBQ TIME!!!**

I can't believe the ignorant comments denying that carbs are the cause of many people being fat. Seriously, have you picked up the hundreds of well-researched books available on the topic? Someone who eats a 500 calorie piece of cake is going to be hungrier a LOT sooner than someone eating a 500 calorie piece of meat. Breads are empty calories that lead you to eat more and more. Were your ancestors fat? I doubt they ate white rice and white bread and cupcakes and cupcakes and french fries all day. They lived off the land and ate meat and vegetables.

"The average person attending a Memorial Day BBQ will consume at least one beer, a hot dog, a burger, chips, coleslaw, potato salad and dessert," Dieter's survival guide claims. 

I say to that: gross, boring, and really, like who? I mean, I guess I'm mostly surprised by the banal types of food, I mean c'mon: a burger, hot dog, potato salad, chips AND dessert? And AT LEAST that much? They go on to note "two BBQ shockers!" The shockingly high fat foods they revealed to us were...badadadadadadadada: fried chicken and potato salad. Reeeeaaaalllly. I, for one, am shocked that something fried and something drowning in mayonnaise is high in fat or calories. That's just crazy talk.
