I really want White Castle right now.
This has nothing to do with being "good for you." It's about tasting good and being enjoyable. Even homemade & non-American brand foods can taste good and be bad for you. Corporate America is not the only disher of unhealthy foods. Doesn't mean it all tastes bad though. If Lynn had just posted this in the guilty pleasures thread then it would never have gotten this far!![]()

This pretty much sums up what I was going to say about Fast Foods.
I wasn't just talking about fast foods, but popular American brands in general; whether it be a fast food restaurant or something on the shelf at the grocery store. The "corporate America" stamp shouldn't automatically mean that it sucks and is terrible. It might or might not be good for you, but that's not the point because many other foods outside of corporate America are also unhealthy. If it tastes good and is enjoyable, then it doesn't suck.

I'm certainly not saying to eat unhealthy, good tasting stuff all the time. Moderation is up to each person.
But that's not to say that everything in the guilty pleasures thread (that's not homemade, foreign, or nonpopular) sucks!
Remember, Europeans eat salty liccorice.
But there is one thing you, and everyone else, should never forget.
Whatever you eat literally becomes a part of you. You are what you eat, it's not a joke. That jellybean you ate last week now remembers eating it.
If that doesn't make one think a bit about what goes inside in, I don't know what will.
