Crazy Foods in the Calorie Counter
So I was browsing through my Calorie Counter book and started to come across the weirdest, most vile foods (IMO) in existence. I didn't realize some people actually eat this stuff, I thought it was just in movies or for dares on reality shows. Felt like I was in the Ozark mountains or something, reading a menu from the Clampett's version of a restaurant. But hey, I guess even hillbillys need to eat...
