Mitch: Your reseach confirms mine. Some years ago we were eating luch at Mickey D’s and were trying to figure out why were doing that to ourselves, when we stumbled upon the same system that you have enunciated. Your Research has confirmed the validity of our insight and we thank you.

This reminds me of my only contribution to Nutritional Studies as I watched patrons at the SF Opera House:

Irish Coffes is probably the most perfect food group — containing caffein, alcohol, fat, and sugar.

The New Food Pyramid

I often visit The Chicago Boyz for insightful posts on economics but sometimes when I get there I find unexpected pearls of wisdom from fields far removed from the dismal science. Who know that The Chicago Boyz were food bloggers?…

If you want a treat, try dipping your pretzle sticks in cola; The only group you’re missing is the grease, and it’s remarkably tasty. Gotta nip the end off of them, though, or you have to soak them too long to get the right flavor.

I’ve said for many years that the writer’s four food groups are alcohol, sugar, grease, and tobacco, and I have the unfinished novel to prove it.

I’ve consumed two of these five nutritious food groups in the last hour.

Buffalo Wings (Grease Group)
Belgian Ale (Alcohol Group)

Amen.

I thought the four food groups where in an Irish Coffee, namely caffeine, alchohol, sugar, and fat. Now, you tell me I have to eat salt too! That’s too much to remember. :)

Wait a minute. I thought the four basic food groups were Quarter Pounder, fries, turnover and shake. Where did all this newfangled health-food stuff come from?

But you forgot the most important food group – the all-encompassing perfection of pizza group.
