Do Americans Eat Too Much Food?

I've always been amazed at things like "a large stack of pancakes". Why do we seem to need to eat such huge portions of food? I can barely eat an entire donut in one sitting, personally.

Actually, this thread is a plug for tonights "Iron Chef America", where the servings are reasonable, but I still don't get how the judges can eat fifteen meals in a single episode. Sounds like an interesting challenge tonight. Something frozen has to be an element of every dish. I imagine the ice cream machine will get a workout.

Starting: Now (Central US time)

Americans are some greedy bastards...

Is the Pope Catholic?

This "Iron Chef America" episode is screwed up. Whoever serves second is fucked, because keeping the frozen elements stable for over an hour, and the other parts of the dishes plated and at appropriate temp, would be nearly impossible.

But back to the topic: What's the most food anyone here has ever eaten in one sitting?

I love watching the Iron Chef and Hell's Kitchen! Donuts are bad for ya honda! :D :D

I probably eat a donut once a month, it doesn't happen often.

I can't believe Bobby Flay lost by only one point, and was serving second. That dude is an Iron Chef, no doubt. Unfortunately, the whole melon theme was pretty lame.

Has anyone seen the Movie: "Super Size Me" ?? McDonalds targets children into obesity.....

Depends on what you are eating. Alot of times people have weight problems cause they don't eat enough instead of too much, especially those who skip breakfast and not eat anything till like 8 hours later.

That'd be me. I usually eat just lunch and dinner. If lunch is very big, I have a small dinner.

What most people eat for breakfast doesn't appeal to me. Greasy eggs, bacon, sausage, hash browns... that's all crap to me. When I was a kid, we were all forced to eat leftovers from dinner the night before for breakfast. Lots of protein without a lot of grease.

Kalina, I personally don't eat any of typical greasy breakfast foods that you mentioned. It's either a bowl of oatmeal, oat bran, or wheatena, along with some fruit. This is what I eat for breakfast almost everyday.
