And heavens forfend you point it out, because that makes YOU the real racist/sexist/sizist or what have you.

The 50 best things to eat in the world, and where to eat them
No Chicago? I think I think only place I've been to on that list is the Antiga Confeitaria de Belém. That was some good custard goddamn.

“Not dead yet!”
The one that got me about that list was the best steak. I mean, it was a cut that came off a specific cow at a specific time. Who's to say it can ever be recreated exactly the same way again? Does that render the selection invalid? I mean, consistency has to count for something here.
With respect to beef/steak, I'm shocked it wasn't somewhere in Argentina or Brazil or the U.S. midwest. Somewhere known for its beef production. Come to think of it, there wasn't a single Caribbean or South American restaurant mentioned was there? I mean seriously-- nothing from that entire chunk of the globe is worth mentioning?

Anti-southern prejudices often grate on me because they're not a terribly powerful group. On the other hand, we don't help it out much when we have huge swaths of our population unwilling to admit that we have ever done anything wrong.

From that list you'd think the only good eats in the US were on the coasts-oh and Texas BBQ, which is fine, but where they really excel is chili.

The best ceviche is in Lima.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Ah, yes. Rednecks and hillbillies.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
misogynist can direct his hate towards women who are fat, and disguise it as "disgust at fatness" when it's really hatred of women
Silly girl. It's not "disgust" they're just so terribly concerned for our health. You know, since they're perfect strangers. You should see them flag the personal ads of smokers and people who don't wear seatbelts!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Which may be why the definition of "fat" has expanded to smaller and smaller sizes as the other prejudices get driven out of acceptable common conversation. If every woman over a size 6 is "fat", then they get to hate almost all of us!
I was thinking about personal ads recently, and how you describe yourself, and was thinking how I have an almost precisely Rubensesque body, but I bet if I said that in writing, most people would not picture me.
