Ya think? It'll serve him right when some "historian" of the future  
does an edutaining mockumentary on his eating habits.

Let's see... What was that bacon-and-sausage monster thing we all  
talked about a couple of weeks ago? Followed by a blackened  
Turkducken, I think. And, of course, deep-fried Mars Bars have to be  
involved.

Because all early 21st-century people typically ate this way. Every  
day. When they weren't busy dying by spreadsheet. The Twenty-Oughts  
were parlous times, weren't they?

bellies."
