The Suicide StackWhile in Arizona for the weekend, our pal Justin Esch (the brainchild behind BaconSalt and Baconnaise) stopped into Cave Creek's Heart & Soul Café and did the unthinkable. He ordered The Famous Suicide Stack.

What's that, you ask? It's a $49, 25-pound behemoth with 13 layers of biscuit, chicken fried steak, green pork chili, scrambled eggs with cheese, chicken fried ham steak, gravy with pinto beans, hash browns, jalapeño cheese sauce, more scrambled eggs with cheese, buttermilk fried chicken, country pork gravy, another layer of biscuits, and deep-fried stuffed jalapeño peppers as a topping. "My son, who weighs 20 pounds, was with us, and the stack weighed more than him," Justin declared.

Looks like something straight out of This Is Why You're Fat. Would you eat it, or are you over this kind of stuff?

Many of them are deep fried, smothered in melted cheese, and involve bacon. I know most of you health nuts wouldn't dare touch these foods on a regular basis because they're so unhealthy, but aren't you just a little curious to know how many calories they contain?

There are tons of websites out there devoted to helping you lose weight. They give tips on how to avoid cravings, how to eat more veggies, and how to get rid of the jiggle around your middle. They're all about hard work, commitment, sacrifice, and a lot of sweat. They inspire you to live a healthy lifestyle, but here's a website that takes a different approach. It's called This Is Why You're Fat. This food porn website, as YumSugar put it, features detailed photos and descriptions of atrocious food combinations that are fat, calorie, and cholesterol bombs. Foods like deep-fried s'mores on a stick, and bacon-wrapped meatloaf with a layer of mac and cheese in the middle. OK, so maybe there are a bunch of people who are actually excited by these dishes (many of which are deep-fried, smothered in cheese, or involve being wrapped in bacon), but for most of us, I think this website can help curb your appetite.

Less is more — except when more is more.

Less is more — except when more is more. At least that's the principle behind a new website, This is why you're fat. In the last several days, the food porn site has skyrocketed to Internet fame with its Would You Eat This?-worthy images, which include everything from a colossal breakfast chimichanga to a pizza topped with corn dogs.

While it's entertaining (who doesn't love oversize things?), one could argue that it's simply too much. What do you think of it?
