1.Hamburger
2.Hot Dog
3.Fries
4.Oreo Cookies*
5.Pizza
6.Sweet/Soda Drinks
7.Chicken Tenders
8.Ice Cream
9.Donuts
10.Potato Chips

*WHY? They are vile beyond belief, being laced with sugar and practically devoid of chocolate/cocoa. There again, maybe they are just in the US tradition which produces 'candy' (as in 'chocolate') that's the worst tasting toothrot known to mankind unless anyone's had anything even fouler? Unfortunately, since Cadbury's was bought out by Kraft, the sugar content goes up, the chocolate goes down. See also the once mighty Mars Bar, now a pathetic overly sweet unchocolatey shadow of it's former self. Bah!

Did you know:
The average American consumes three burgers per week; that's 13 billion per year as a nation. 71% of America's beef is consumed this way. That's a LOT of beef**
**GM Beef at that, too.
