What's Your Food Vice?

Climbers are a varied lot. Some of us obsess about our weight and subsist on a diet of white rice, broccoli and water with lemon slices in order to send the proj, while others chew on pork pie, potato chips and drink soda regularly, yet still crank the rad. No one is right, no one is wrong. But this is America, and we all have our unhealthy food vices. My vices are Twizzlers and oreos.

I'm just curious what other climbers' unhealthy food vices are.

Soda and Soft Serve ice cream. however somehow I always end up fasting for 6 hours before climbing every time. I figure it makes you lighter.

My worst vice is potato chips, I don't eat them often but when I do I can eat allot.

Sugar Corn Pops, Sugar Smacks, Apple Jacks, Lucky Charms, or any other of the 1000 different sweet cereals out there.

Either a Chubby's Special burrito or a Santiago's Breakfast Burrito. Both chains have several outlets in the Denver metro area, if I drive near one I am compelled to stop. The Chubby's Special will drip a half cup of that orange grease out the bottom while you eat it; a Santiago's breakfast burrito (w/ cheese) is just a calorie/carb bomb. Although I savor the burn, I really hate myself afterwards. I am a hot green chili addict.

Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream--Biggest downfall is New York Super Fudge Chunk, with dishonorable mention to Chunky Monkey and Cherry Garcia.

There is only one chubby's, the original chubby's on 38th and Lipan ...the most larded up and spicy green chile in Denver. All others going by the name chubby's are cheap imitations.

Other then a Chubby's smothered beef burito and a plate of smothered cheese fries, my main food vice would have to be Marlboro Mediums.
