bilby commented on the word heart attack
"This is the meal to eat if you like pig products: two eggs scrambled with chopped bacon, diced ham, and crumbled sausage, then topped with cheddar cheese. All rounded out with two strips of bacon, two sausage links, hash browns, and two fluffy buttermilk pancakes. The amount of sodium in this pile of pig garbage is enough to last you two days … if you don’t die of a heart attack first."
- 'The Worst Artery Cloggers in America', Brie Cadman, April 2008.

This sounds quite tasty, not like pig garbage at all. (I don't worry about sodium so much.) Eggs, cheese, pancakes, and hash browns aren't pig products either--at least, not last time I checked--so it's five pig products versus four non-pig products.
And why remark on the sodium instead of the saturated fat? Maybe the rest of the article does that. Or maybe poor Brie is just upset to have been named after cheese...? (I'll probably never get tired of that joke.) Mmm... brie....

It sounds great, although I'm not so keen on the pancakes.

Yeah, they always sound good until I take about three or four bites, and then I don't want any more. What's up with that?
