It’s strange how you find things sometimes. Via this geocache, via my mapping tool, via ACME Mapper, via GeoURL, I found Bill Reardon’s weblog (who also happens to work at Yahoo!), which brought me to his home page where I found this amusing story about eating 50 Chicken McNuggets in one sitting. I’ve been hearing ads for the new “white meat” McNuggets. I wonder if they would have the same effect.

I started a tradition of ridding myself of Fast Food several years ago, mostly for my own health. One year for New Year’s, I decided to give up eating at McDonalds. The next year it was Burger King. Then Jack in the Box, then Carl’s Jr., then In-n-Out. Living 200 feed from a KFC made it easy to give that up the next year. Then Taco Bell. The only one left now is Wendy’s, but I need something to eat when I’m on the road for one reason or the other. At this point I’m out of restaurants to give up. That A&W down the road is pretty nasty. Maybe I’ll give that up. Beef Bowl is really bad for me I’m sure, but I don’t live very close to one these days, so that would be a freebie.

So with the exception of Mardi Gras where I make an exception for myself and eat at McDonald’s (if I remember to), I’ve been mostly fast-food free for about 7 years now.

Lately I’ve been having some nasty cravings for KFC. Today while grocery shopping, I was plotting buying some of that fried chicken they sell at the deli counter. Mmmm. They’ll be much gluttony over the next week’s holidays, that’s for sure.

It’s frigtening to think that Christmas is almost here. December is definitely the shortest month. I think eating chocolates out of our Advent calendar makes it even worse because every day you’re reminded of how few days there are left. I think I’d like to just fast forward to January 2004 now and get back to normal life.
