Elvis has left the building

I get a variety of trivial information delivered to me via email each morning (this day in history, birthdays. etc.). One email service I signed up for at some point (call it morbid curiosity) is from Dead at your Age, where you can enter your date of birth and find out who died at your exact age. They also have an email service where they send you an email when someone died at your exact age. Today I got to work and had the following email:

You are exactly 42 years and 220 days old today.
	At your exact age, Elvis Presley died of a heart attack. He was a the immortal King of Rock 'n' Roll.

So to honor the King, I will stay away from the PB and Banana sandwiches today. But that doesn't mean that I will avoid some of these foods(seen on BuzzFeed, where the link goes to an, in this case, ironically named blog called ShareitFitness.com.

Herewith, a list of the 50 Fattiest Foods in the United States, with comment where appropriate:

1. Alabama - Bacon-wrapped meatloaf (One 3-ounce serving of 80% lean meatloaf has roughly 14 grams of fat. Each slice of bacon will cost you an additional 3 grams of fat) - OK, I don't have a problem with this, it's how I eat my meatloaf now.
2. Alaska - Eskimo Ice Cream - yum, reindeer fat.
3. Arizona - Quadruple Bypass Burger - um, wow.
4. Arkansas - Catfish - hey everything tastes better when deep fried in oil.
5. California - In-N-Out Burger Double Double - I have yet to enjoy an In-N-Out burger (41g fat), but Five Guys (43g fat) is pretty good. It must be the fat.
6. Colorado - Jack-N-Grill’s 7-pound breakfast burritos (7 potatoes, 12 eggs, a pound of ham, a whole onion, cheese, and chili) - hold on a minute, I need to take a knee.
7. Connecticut - The Two-Foot long Hot Dog (The average foot-long hot dog has about 24g of fat, 10g of it saturated. And this is double that, plus it has bacon, chili, and cheddar cheese.)
8. Delaware - Deep Fried Pastry - yet another reason why I am not allowed to own a deep fryer ("Hey, I wonder what this will taste like deep fried?").
9. Florida - Empanadas - surely there's something fattier available at Disney World?
10. Georgia - The Luther Burger - Paula Deen took this one step further (burger on a Krispy Kreme "bun") by adding a fried egg to the sandwich.
11. Hawaii - Loco Moco (two hamburger patties, two eggs, three scoops of jasmine rice, plus onions, fish, and mushroom gravy, 43g fat).
12. Idaho - Bacon Blue Cheese Dressing - not feeling it at all for this, even with the bacon.
13. Illinois - Deep Dish Pizza - yeah, this is why I prefer NY-style pizza, it's healthier.
14. Indiana - Fried Brain Sandwich (A 6-ounce scoop of beef brain batter contained about 24g of fat. The now used pork version is estimated at 18g) - so this would be brain food in its truest sense? I guess if you are a fat head, wow, bad joke.
15. Iowa - Hot Meat Sundae (Mashed potatoes, roast beef, beef gravy, cheddar cheese, tomato) - that's just blasphemy to ice cream lovers everywhere.
16. Kansas - Charred Ends (crunchy cubes of the fatty end of a barbecued brisket) - is it wrong to just want to have a big bowl of these?
17. Kentucky - KFC Double Down - I still haven't tried one of these. I don't have an EMT that follows me around.
18. Louisiana - Beignets (about 11g of fat, the same as in a McDonald’s cheeseburger) - yeah, so?
19. Maine - Lobster Roll - I'll give you this one. Lobster Rolls are good, but if you're having it, eat 'em steamed with drawn butter.
20. Maryland - Smith Island Cake - which is evidently the Official State Dessert of Maryland. Wait, there are official state foods?
21. Massachusetts - Chocolate Chip Cookie (The average weight of a commercially prepared cookie is about 12g. The weight of a version from fast-food chain Carl’s Jr. is 71g, with 19g of that being fat)
22. Michigan - BLT - nothing wrong with a little bacon now and then. This particular version however, from Tony's I-75 uses a whole pound of bacon (for 192g of fat!)
23. Minnesota - Dairy Queen's FlameThrower GrillBurger - why must you be mean to the meat?
24. Mississippi - Mud Pie - Mississippi has held the title of the state with the highest obesity rate in the country, at 32.5%, for five years in a row.
25. Missouri - Hardee's 2/3 lb. Monster ThickBurger (Two 1/3 pound beef patties, 4 strips of bacon, 3 slices of American cheese, mayonnaise, sesame seed bun) - OK, this meat you can be mean to.
26. Montana - Rocky Mountain Oysters - OK, only going to point out there's no ocean near Montana. You want to know more about these, google it.
27. Nebraska - Eskimo Pie (Vanilla ice cream with Nestle Crunch chocolate coating and a relatively tame 13g of fat per bar)
28. Nevada - Buffets - 'nuff said.
29. New Hampshire - New England Clam Chowder - I'm really not getting into this debate, but I think I know someone who reads this blog who might. New Hampshire gets the Chowder, really?
30. New Jersey - the Fat Darrell (Chicken fingers, mozzarella sticks, marinara sauce, French fries, lettuce, tomato, roll and an estimated 45 grams of fat) - I think I might weep.
31. New Mexico - Frito Pie (estimates vary based on the toppings you add) - Um, I have been known to salt Fritos.
32. New York - The Garbage Plate (A base of home fries, macaroni salad, baked beans or French fries, topped with choice of meat (hamburger, cheeseburger, hot dog, sausage, chicken tender, fish, fried ham), and drenched in mustard, onions, and hot sauce—all amounting to about 3 pounds of food!) - now I need to lie down.
33. North Carolina - Livermush (Pig liver, assorted other pig parts (usually fatty), cornmeal, pepper, salt) - never, ever, and I eat bologna.
34. North Dakota - Fleischkuechle (a meat patty smothered in a fried dough wrapping) - so like a pierogie.
35. Ohio - Bob Evans Sausage Biscuit Bowl (Home fries, eggs, sausage gravy, sausage, cheddar cheese, scallions, margarine, in a biscuit bowl) - wait, wasn't margarine good for you at one point?
36. Oklahoma - Chicken Fried Steak - All I'm saying is steak is steak, chicken is chicken, and gravy is not white.
37. Oregon - The Redonkadonk (which is being peddled by a Portland Food Truck, contains egg, ham, Spam, bacon, and American cheese on a beef patty, between two grilled-cheese sandwiches on thicker-than-normal Texas Toast bread in the place of a bun).
38. Pennsylvania - The Cheesesteak - I will hear no criticism of this food nirvana.
39. Rhode Island - New York System Hot Wieners - (A beef hot dog drenched in yellow mustard, onions, celery salt, and ground-beef sauce and about 28g of fat)
40. South Carolina - The Turducken
41. South Dakota - Frybread - from the picture, it looks a lot like funnel cake.
42. Tennessee - Ruby Tuesday's Triple Prime Bacon Cheddar Burger (115g of fat)
43. Texas - the Corn Dog
44. Utah - Scone - no, not this kind of scone, the one that more doughy and gets deep fried.
    
45. Vermont - The Ben and Jerry's Vermonster (20 scoops of ice cream, hot fudge, banana, cookies, brownies, and other toppings of your choice).
46. Virginia - Ham - not the best meat for you, but not the worst either.
47. Washington - Crab Louis Salad (Salad greens, tomato, hard-boiled egg, celery, crabmeat, with dressing made of mayonnaise, chili sauce or cocktail sauce, green peppers, sweet pickles, onion)
48. West Virginia - Hillbilly Hot Dogs 10 lb. burger (about 800g of fat).
49. Wisconsin - Fried Cheese Curds (Milk or beer, egg, flour, sugar, salt, baking power, cheese curds, oil for frying)
50. Wyoming - Lamb - lamb, really, that's what we end with?
