My co-worker came running into my office the other day and said, "WHAT is this magnificent deliciousness that KFC is doing??" "The double-down?" "YES!! WE. MUST. GET. ONE!!"
I laughed.
Like I said, I am a glutton. I eat STUPID things. And consume way more than I should. And the size of my ass, though rockin', reflects that gluttony. But that IHOP breakfast just looks ... ugh.
For me, I think cheesecake and whipped cream for breakfast sounds nast, but that's because I don't like sweet for breakfast, in general.
Aw, I wish folks would stop moralizing food and eating and food choices. It just leads to nowhere good, mentally.
It's OK to eat stuff! I validate you.
I would eat cheesecake for breakfast! In fact, I am pretty sure I have. Not with pancakes, though.
I mean cheesecake is basically a cheese omelette plus, um, a cup of sugar. The same!
But why in the ever living hell would you need to consume an entire days worth of calories in one sitting?
1200 is a day's worth for a kid, or an extremely restricted diet.

x-post-y goodness!
I was actually surprised to hear that the Double Down had less than 600 calories considering it is DISCUSSED LIKE PEOPLE WILL START USING TROUGHS as a next step.
Right? My co-worker was all "Ewwwwww, people are PIGS and this is why there's an OBESITY EPIDEMIC OH MAH GODDDDDDDDD!" and I pointed out the Gawker piece that lists 10 fast-food items with more calories and fat than a Double Down. Three of those items are salads. You know, the "good" food.
Pssssht.
I've definitely eaten cheesecake for breakfast. Perfectly cromulent. Yesterday's breakfast was half a chocolate muffin. Which is a chocolate cupcake with no icing. What's up with the lying?
I know I've eaten cheesecake for breakfast. Even given the sugar content, it's no worse than a couple of donuts or a stack of pancakes with maple syrup.
It doesn't sound particularly appealing at the moment, but then I'm pretty much fixated on strawberries at the moment.
It's OK to eat stuff! I validate you.
As do I! Food is not bad!
Last night I desperately wanted to eat junk, but found that I didn't have any junk food in the kitchen. It was a sad, albeit healthy, state of affairs.
