Drinks for Fats MCGEE

so I came across this article on yahoo while checking my mail and it discusses drinks that claim to be healthy but are not. I knew about things like Vitamin water not really being healthy and what not after doing research on it a long time ago, however I was shocked at America's most unhealthiest drink. America's most unhealthiest drink comes from Baskin Robbins and it is called "the "Baskin Robbin's Large Health Bar Shake." I find it funny that the most unhealthiest drink in America contains the words "health bar"















Here's a direct quote from the article about it.

The Unhealthiest Drink in America
Baskin Robbin’s Large Heath Bar Shake (32 oz)
2,310 calories
266 g sugar
108 g fat (64 g saturated)

Let's look at America's Worst Drink in numbers:

73: The number of ingredients that go into this milkshake.
66: The number of teaspoons of sugar this drink contains.
11: The number of Heath Bars you would have to eat to equal the number of calories found in one Baskin Robbins Large Heath Bar Shake.
8-12: The average number of minutes it takes to consume this drink.
240: The number of minutes you’d need to spend on a treadmill burning it off, running at a moderate pace.


That is fucking INSANE. Seriously. 2,310 calories for a Fucking DRINK!? the Daily average calorie intake is 2000, this one drink alone is OVER THAT. WTF. Serve this drink with "The Luther" and you will probably have a heart attack.

With that said, I kinda wanna try it now cause it bet it tastes amazingly good. that shit better taste like heaven if its got that much stuff in it.

I hate politics

It's funny. No matter how far away you are from a certain field, that field somehow trickles down and effects you in some or many ways whether you know it or not. The politics is in every game. The game IS politics. When I say politics, I am not talking about just the shit that goes in the white house and in DC. I am talking about politics in general. Whether it's the politics of whether you advance in a company or not, or the politics of your image among your social peers, or the politics behind a issue you feel that does involve our government. At the end of the day, the politics of everything is ugly, and there never seems to truly be a right answer, but a lesser evil. What's worse, is you're required to choose a side. There's always a side to choose. But this isn't a galaxy far far away where it's either Good/the light side (where the intentions are genuinely good) or Bad/the dark side (where the intentions are genuinely bad). It's not that cut and dry. There is alot of gray area. In fact, there's so much gray area, you'd think a ninja just dropped a permanent smoke bomb. I wish I could be that ninja. The politics make it hard sometimes to fucking think straight. There's just so much to consider these days. I just wanna be a good man, the best man I could be, fuck all the bullshit. But If I strictly abide by that motto, then I will either sink in this society, or I would just float along. With that said, It means I have to play the game. Play the game of the politics, eventually become apart of the politics that dictate another's situation, then force that person to play the game as well. It's ugly. To get ahead, you gotta be smart. sometimes I question myself, am I smart enough to play this game and win? There's no retry and continue, once you fuck up big, that's it. It's not about knowledge....too much knowledge can destroy you. It's about intelligence...how you apply useful knowledge, and combat the knowledge that can hurt you, and avoid the hurdles and pitfalls of the political adversaries you may face. Sometimes I don't think I'm smart enough. But I gotta play, Cause If I don't play my cards, who will?
