FAST FOOD PORN FOR DIET REFUSENIKS

A collection of the world's most fattening recipes have been gathered together on a website for diet refuseniks. They include the chocolate covered bacon maple doughnut bar, Burger King funnel cake fries with icing dip, and the double coronary burger (pictured below).

Fatty food fans submit their own pictures and recipes to Thisiswhyyourefat.com. The food, which includes a pint mug fashioned out of greasy fried bacon and filled with beer, is a backlash against dieting and a celebration of all things unhealthy. Photographs of the recipes, dubbed "fast food porn", have mainly been contributed by people in America. One is the 15lb Porkgasm - pork belly stuffed with bacon, sausage and minced pork, swathed in more rashers, and the whole lot formed into the shape of a pig. Its US inventor, who made the meal for a dinner party, said: "My guests were all total gluttons." But he admitted: "Most of us ended up with nightmares and stomach aches." Food industry expert Angus Kennedy said the website, which has now been turned into a book, was a backlash by consumers were fed up with being harangued about what they should eat. He said: "The more we are told a product is bad for us, the more we want it as it is fun breaking the rules."
