While watching football yesterday (dismal day for the G-Men and Skins) I was amazed to see the plethora of commercials touting huge portions of food for a relatively inexpensive price. From the "5 Dollar Foot Long" Subway commercials to the "Panormous" Pizza Hut commercials to the "555" Dominos commercials...it seems as if you can get lots of calories for a relatively small amount of money.
Corporate America is great at showing us tasty looking foods on commercials (do you notice though that in real life, the food never looks as good as in the commercials???) and then hitting us with an "Offer we can't refuse".
Do we really need a foot long sandwich as opposed to a 6 inch one??? It is that important to get three Dominos pizzas (with one topping each) as opposed to a less-caloric meal?
If you are in a weight losing mode (and if you are reading this then my guess is that you are) then please think carefully before picking up that phone and dialing your local pizza delivery place....the deal sounds good, but your scale will not like it!
