That Fox & Friends appeals to the fat, sick, and nearly brain dead citizens of a growing (as in girth) America is reflected in their advocacy for those foods that contribute to growing health care costs in America. School administrators who support nutritional school lunches are attacked as food police. Schools that prohibit sugary flavored milk are denounced. FDA attempts to change sodium standards are seen as intrusions by the nanny state - in fact, Gretchen Carlson claimed that a study found that salt is good for you. (It didn't). But Fox & Friends' advocacy for unhealthy food choices reached a high point, this morning, when they just gushed over the awesomeness of Spam. Spam has very little nutritional value. Fox & Friends has no value. Nuff said.
The curvy couch crew took it outside onto the plaza where they hosted a cooking demonstration by an official Spam lady. The first mouth watering "grand prize" state fair recipe was - I kid you not - Spam donuts. (What says American "exceptionalism" more than donuts?!)This was followed by Span French Toast which, in addition to the nice bread carbs, you get cheese and maple syrup for some extra sugar calories to get you through the day. The Spam lady said that kids "really love this dish because it's "fun and delicious." (Let's hear it for juvenile diabetes!!!) And in keeping with the GOP cultural diversity (yeah, I'm kidding), how bout some Spam fajitas! (Muy bueno). But the piece de résistance of haut cuisine were the "teriyaki bites" - a mélange of Spam and pineapple baked into "cute little phylo cups." Steve Doocy, who grew up eating Spam (correlation between Spam and stupidity?) said "fantastic."
Spam is a role model for nutrition (Just kidding). It contains 15 grams of fat and 170 calories. It has half of the daily sodium recommendation. It is considered the most "unhealthy lunch meat." But here's the thing - do ya think that Gretchen Carlson's nanny serves Spam to the kids?
"Spam! Spam! Spam! Spam! Lovely Spam! Lovely Spam!"
